Michael brown never shot in the back

[Ms. Toad]

55. I am just reporting what the autopsy report commissioned by the parents said.

The accusation I responded to said,

"All eyewitness reports AND the Autopsy itself say the shots were fire when Brown was down in a PRONE position

I don't know why ANYONE would spread lies like those you just said

That is NOT what the autopsy said, so the accusation that someone who is accurately paraphrasing or quoting the autopsy report is spreading lies is pretty offensive. So far, the person I was responding to has not offered an autopsy report to support his/her statement about what the autopsy says.

As for what was going on when he was shot in the top of the head, according to the autopsy report, "The last two shots in the head would have stopped him in his tracks and were likely the last fired." So, from the perspective of the expert hired by the parents, those two shots had to be close together. Whatever he was doing (charging or bowing his head in surrender) started before the first shot in the eye - and the doctor performing the autopsy couldn't tell from the information he had available what was going on - but did say, "It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer.”

I didn't perform the autopsy - but I can read the quotes from it, and there's no point in getting snarky with people who are accurately reporting what the autopsy says.
