So he turns around with his hands in the air and four of the six bullets hit is arms above his head? While possible, that doesn't exactly fall in line with what you would expect with an officer aiming center mass.

The grouping of the shots suggests his hands were near his head.

IN THE GAS STATION!

Is the gas station still open for business? It looks like it but there just so happens to be a phalanx of gun-smitten loonies in front of it.

Rhino, you did this to me!

The diagrams in the autopsy reports looks like he was shot on the underside of his arms, which seems more likely if he was facing the cop with his arms up? I dunno, I'm really just waiting for more information, especially if anything is released about the clothes which weren't part of this initial report.'

This is what the eyewitnesses agree with and would line up with why the cop freaked the gently caress out and left the body for 4 hours.

Whatever else you can say about the cops on Tim's feed, they sure are good at standing there in a semicircle.

One wonders what they'd be doing without the journalists cameras surrounding them.

This does seem to be correct. There are no exit wounds noted on the rear of the body, which suggests the bullets did indeed hit the underside of his arms.

None of the shots are consistent with a claim that he Hulked out and charged Wilson. They ARE consistent with someone with his hands up having bullets sprayed at his head.

Edit: Tim's heading out to recharge and find the two other Vice reporters.

When asked why the pro-Wilson rally didn't have many African-American attendees, John Newshaw, a retired St. Louis County police officer, said, "This sounds wrong, but I don't think the black community understands the system. Again, there's a process. They're screaming about, why isn't he [Wilson] arrested, why isn't he in jail? Well, without the investigation being done, you can't go and apply for a warrant.
