re: #73 Mike Lamb

Although you raise good points, the key to me is this: Mike Brown was over 150 feet away from him. A half a football field. The idea that his only option was to continue shooting him until he was dead is a non-starter. At that point, his excuses for not macing him are gone, as are his excuses not to use a baton or flashlight. Hell, don’t the mace cans that they issue to police have a good 5 to 10 foot reach?

Well, he was 150 feet from the SUV, I haven’t found a real good description of how far apart the two of them were, but I think most witnesses said Wilson was chasing him and they were about 35’ apart when he actually shot him.
