He had just been beaten in the face so brutally that his orbital bone was fractured. He pointed his pistol at the young man and ordered him to freeze. Instead of freezing and putting his hands up like most sane people would do when a gun is pointed directly at them, this fine young gentleman decided to rush towards the officer and was SHOT as ANYONE would have been BLACK OR WHITE. I am sure after being assaulted and having a rather large angry person rushing toward you with intent to do great bodily harm as he had previously demonstrated he was capable of doing, the officer thought to himself "gee, I am going ot try to aim in a spot that would only wound him." Right? ...Right? Makes total sense... |
Really, that claim the he had his orbital bone broken is being questioned and is looking to be false.
We don't know all the facts yet. There are non-lethal ways to handle rowdy people, tasers being a very effective one.
And if you read through all the comments you would have noticed I mentioned Brown should have known better if he put his hands on him like that, if the officer indeed did have a broken orbital bone he was probably scared for his life and defended himself.
But we don't know for sure what happened and I'm not going to get my self worked up over it.
