That's really interesting if true. But it does beg the question, how did he manage to shoot the perp 6 times after sustaining that kind of injury, given that it's highly unlikely the bogus story about him standing still with his hands up is true? Granted I don't know much about the injury in question, but it sounds like it would make it difficult to see.
Well it might explain why all the shots were on one side of the body, he only could see out of one eye.

You'd have to be a really bad shot to miss such a big target. He probably could have done it with his eyes closed as big as big brown was.

Good point actually. Figure his eye is busted all to hell, he's pinned in a car or backed into it and Big Mike was 6'4" 300+ lbs. I'd be firing off multiple shots too.

Local PD officer used to pull time in STL. Said that when their life is in danger, they are taught to "double-click".. Meaning you shoot til the gun clicks twice.

RE: More than a Dozen Eye Witnesses Corroborate Officer's Story
Question I do have, the 12 people who have corroborated the story, where are they and will they testify in a court of law?

They'll need to get into a "witness protection" thingy, or holder will come after them. LOL

That's definitely fair. It would be unlikely that the shots would be where they are had the officer been aiming at a stationary target with no injury. I'm not sure I buy the whole charging thing, but I tend to be of the opinion that stories always never end up being wholly true and the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

That's a fair assessment. From the time Brown and his buddy left the store until the shooting there's about a 15 minute gap in what happened to cause him to be shot. It's apparent now that he assaulted Wilson.

It really depends. It can blind you in one eye, or it can feel just a little tender feeling initially. As time goes on there will most likely be significant swelling that can cause impaired vision, but it is unlikely that happened in the amount of time this incident likely took place.

Why would "Angle Mike" charge the police? Maybe because the cop uttered a racial epithet. Add that to the end of Mike's friend's story. Hate Crime, I tell ya.

I'm sure that's a great idea Fit. FFS, think man, think. I'm sure if you rub those 2 brain cells together fast enough you're bound to get a spark at least.

Very easy for authorities to say they have witnesses when they don't come forward.

I don't think there's a requirement for them to come forward to the media Fitty. That would be suicide in that town.

Because they never gave their account in secret. at least three of them did it on tv and interviewed by independent reporters.
