In fact, I would say Michael Brown was even more dangerous from that distance because F=ma and with his mass and that much time to accelerate he is basically a black death train! More distance does not mean greater acceleration. If you look at speed graphs most sprinters hit their max speed around first 40 meters, max acceleration is easily within first 20 meters. 50 feet = 15.24 meters (says google, I wouldn't know). Even when you nitpick an obviously ironical point you manage to stumble, it's quite amazing ^^

Did people just forget that 50cent took 9 9mm rounds into his body, and lived? It's not insanity to suggest that Brown continued charging forwards despite initial volley of shots.

If you read the transcript you would know that Brown was within 30ft of Wilson, and Wilson had backed up while firing to compensate for the charge, in which Brown fell within 8 to 10 ft of Wilson. But, you know... Reading is hard.

So a fight has broken out at the Brown family press conference. Of course Al Sharpton needed some air time as well.

Tueller drill distance concerns someone with a holstered gun, not when you already have your gun out and were already shooting at the guy's back when he turns around. Except the convenient fact that forensic evidence does not back this up. Yeah, I know, I read all that stuff, I mispoke. Still, he had his gun out in his hands, that was my point and it remains. Tueller drill distance is completely irrelevant. That was only brought up because someone made a dumb comment about brown being 30 feet away, which is not a factor at all since he charged. Twice.

Btw guys, a lot of accounts speak of Wilson shooting in Brown's back as he's fleeing. Obviously I know the grand jury is king and knows all the fact and whatnot, but it's still weird to me that Brown would turn around after beginning to flee (because he was already shot at twice near the car). Why would he do that? To kill an armed cop, while being himself unarmed at a 30 feet distance? Wilson says in his testimony that he had never seen that reaction before. No shit. That's a bit light. And convenient too. And I know forensics proved that he wasn't hit in the back. Quite different from shot in the back though.

I guess posting the links isn't enough, fine, I'll quote what I considered to be the most important parts, the reason I posted the links.
(These links are contained in the "Shooting the Bull" link):
http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/woman-hiding-kids-shoots-intruder/nTm7s/ - hit 5 times in the face and the neck, not incapacitated http://www.firearmstalk.com/North-Dakota-man-ends-robbery-in-3-seconds-has-gunfight-in-his-own-living-room.html - hit with three .38 caliber bullets, not incapacitated http://www.policeone.com/patrol-issues/articles/6199620-Why-one-cop-carries-145-rounds-of-ammo-on-the-job/ - HIT FOURTEEN TIMES WITH .45 ACP ROUNDS, NOT INCAPACITATED UNTIL SHOT IN THE HEAD 3 TIMES (died at the hospital, not at the scene) https://www.swatmag.com/articles/finish_the_fight - Survived 5 hits to the chest with a Ruger .357 magnum, killed the cop with a lucky shot from his own much smaller .22 derringer. http://www.policemag.com/channel/patrol/articles/2010/04/jacksonville-florida-01-26-2008.aspx - both the cop and the suspect were shot multiple times (the cop with .40 ammo, the suspect with .45). 7 times the cop was hit. 7 times the suspect was hit. both kept shooting until the suspect was hit in the head.
Obviously I don't enjoy the privilege of being able to make racist comments about "white privilege" and racist taunts to "white on" the way I guess you do.

It was established that the office did not feel he could overpower brown in a physical confrontation. Also, he did not know if he hit brown with the first couple of shots. And no, I don't think the office can eyeball the difference between 20-30 feet directly after a struggle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tueller_Drill So what you are saying is he had already started sprinting full speed from 50 feet away because 20 feet are needed to even react, makes perfect sense! In fact, I would say Michael Brown was even more dangerous from that distance because F=ma and with his mass and that much time to accelerate he is basically a black death train! More distance does not mean greater acceleration. If you look at speed graphs most sprinters hit their max speed around first 40 meters, max acceleration is easily within first 20 meters. 50 feet = 15.24 meters (says google, I wouldn't know). Even when you nitpick an obviously ironical point you manage to stumble, it's quite amazing ^^ Except, you know.. If you read the transcript you would know that Brown was within 30ft of Wilson, and Wilson had backed up while firing to compensate for the charge, in which Brown fell within 8 to 10 ft of Wilson. But, you know... Reading is hard. Could you kindly direct me to the relevant part of the thousands of pages of transscripts (that are non searchable if I heard correctly)? How were these distances determined?

Query: is anyone here against mandatory body-cams for all officers?
I'm for it; I think a lot of people are; I'm just wondering if there's anyone against it.

transcripts have been released

I'm for it; I think a lot of people are; I'm just wondering if there's anyone against it. I don't think anyone here is against it. Especially Wilson.

Searchable pdf of the grand jury proceedings. Still 4799 pages so even with the search function that's a lot of stuff to go through.

Cameras on all police officers. Including random drug tests, and mandatory drug tests after incidents and no more paid with leave. Also a special non police prosecutor for every state.

I'm for it; I think a lot of people are; I'm just wondering if there's anyone against it. They are fine as long as they are turned on during arrests and other calls, not all the time. I am never in support of anyone being recorded 100% of the time while they are working(aka, sitting in the patrol car with their partner, talking about their family).

There are no "police prosecutors," DA's offices aren't part of police departments.
