9. Did every bullet hit?

From the start, I've though he was 'shot at' from behind, but not necessarily hit. He certainly also was quite far from the vehicle if he didn't attempt to flee. Are you saying that rather than simply attempt to overpower Wilson at the car, he ran off specifically for the purpose of 'getting a running start' and 'charging Wilson'? How do you 'charge at' someone you're already fighting close up, anyway?

He quite obviously ran in a direction away from Wilson (and Wilson's car) for at least 35 feet or so, based upon the shortest estimates, and wasn't chasing Wilson, so you've got two choices - he was actually trying to flee, or he 'wanted a running start' to 'charge' Wilson.

From witnesses early on, what I heard was that he started to flee, shots were fired, he turned, putting his hands up, and then was shot with a further volley of bullets.

"Injuries"? Not even worth a squeeze of Windex. marble falls Nov 2014 #15

Should wilson have waited until the injuries were life threatning? Travis_0004 Nov 2014 #16

He didn't have to kill. He could have shot his foot, made Michael fall and then handcuffed him. jillan Nov 2014 #18

stupid idea Travis_0004 Nov 2014 #19

Murder should always be the last option. I guess I have more regard for human life than you. jillan Nov 2014 #24

Was emptying his gun's chamber the appropriate response? LonePirate Nov 2014 #22

Wilson had pepper spray, a baton, a taser and lastly, a gun brush Nov 2014 #34

So he didn't have pepper spray? Union Scribe Nov 2014 #47
