MB was shot six times, twice in the head
*Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York and current star of the HBO show "Autopsy," conducted the medical examination for the family.
While he claimed his findings did not "assign blame" or "justify" the shooting, he made the comment, "In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, ‘You’re not supposed to shoot so many times,’”
He's not a cop, he's an examiner who charges $10,000 to conduct an autopsy (which he waived this time). So his statement, "You're not supposed to shoot so many times," is an obvious biased statement for the family.
Some interesting facts about his findings...
Dorian Johnson, the other man who was with MB during the strong-arm robbery (and who apparently still has not been arrested for his role in the robbery or his outstanding warrant) claimed that he hid behind a car and watched as the officer shot MB in the back.
That's a lie, according to the examination.
All six bullet entry points were to the front of the body.
Get that? He wasn't shot in the back, as has been claimed by numerous statements in defense of MB.
Four bullets hit his arm, two were head shots.
The two head shots, according to Dr. Baden, were likely the last shots fired. One of the head shots pierced the top of MB's head -- "This one here looks like his head was bent downward,” he said, indicating the wound at the very top of Mr. Brown’s head. “
It can be because he’s giving up, or because
he’s charging forward at the officer."
This is an important discovery, because there's a cell phone video taken at the scene, in which someone claims that MB was walking away, then turned around and ran towards the cop.
^This statement was from the video at the scene, "Then the next thing I know he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –"
"The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him."
That matches the statement from a friend of Office Wilson, who stated that Wilson told him, "Darren’s first protocol is to pursue. So, he stands up and yells, 'Freeze!' Michael and his friend turn around. And
Michael taunts him… And then all the sudden he
just started bumrushing him. He just started coming at him full speed. And, so he just started shooting. And, he just kept coming. And, so he really thinks he was on something."
About these six shots. The attorney for the family, Crump, claims: “The sheer number of bullets and the way they were scattered all over his body showed this police officer had a brazen disregard for the very people he was supposed to protect in that community."
Let's be clear. Contrary to Crump, the bullets weren't "scattered all over his body." Dr. Baden says four bullets hit MB's right arm, and two hit MB's head. That doesn't sound scattered to me.
Now, I'm not a LEO, I'll be the first to admit I absolutely have no clue about LEO protocol. In my unlearned, untrained, ignorant opinion, the first four shots to the arm may have been to try and get this kid to stop charging. The final two shots to the head may have been desperation to stop this **6'4" 292 tank from attacking him. Again, the first reports state there was a confrontation in the police car and a shot was fired inside the car.
The pieces are beginning to come together, albeit very slowly.
