As far as how many times Brown was shot, that's irrelevant. Firearms training dictates that you shoot until the threat stops, whether that take 1 shot or 2 mags. He got shot 6 times because 5 wasn't enough and 7 was too many.
The Grand Jury findings are being read on local TV now, and I'm watching the riots unfold at the livestream.
I was just giving my opinion like the thread opener asked.

That is not true at all. I do not care about my grades, yet I have an opinion on that.

Well, if police had any brains they should have expected and contained this. This is out of control because the police are idiots.

Arabic-sounding name. Terrorizing a city for perceived racism. Anyone surprised by that?
Excuse my actual racism while I talk about perceptions of racism.
"St. Louis county police has military vehicles. What do they need with military vehicles?"
Protection from people like you, Mr. Masri, who believe asymmetric violent punishment for perceived injustice results in justice.

This is difficult. When officers elect to use deadly force, they're not just shooting to slow down or disable the perpetrator. It's deadly force; they are literally shooting to kill. So you shoot until the target stops approaching you, or until they are not longer a threat. It's not like you shot a round, wait and see if the threat is still coming at you, shoot another round, realize that one didn't phaze the target at all, shoot another and wait, realize that one missed, etc. Decisions have to be made in seconds.

FERGUSON, Mo. — Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a police officer, sparking protests around the nation, was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, a preliminary private autopsy performed on Sunday found

To me its seems like a cop who got no action and took the first opportunity he had to kill someone.
The officer had the right to shoot hi though.
