I don't think "above the law" means what you think it means.
I think it means that Brown didn't think the law applied to him. What do you think I think it means?
Well, generally the guy who kills a guy and then walks is said to be "above the law", not the other way around.
I'm curious as to how you even rationalize that in your mind.
1. Officer Wilson kills Brown.
2. Officer Wilson walks.
3. Joanimaroni concludes that Brown is "above the law".
It's like saying accusing the team that is losing by 100 of flagrantly cheating.
Bad logic Boards. Brown thought he was above the law by robbing a store, walking down the middle of the street, assaulting a cop, and charging the cop instead of surrendering.
Brown did not get killed for walking in the street. You know that, I would hope.
Michael Brown got killed because he was shot by a cop who was scared of him and over reacted due to poor training and racially influenced attitudes re his position as a white cop in Ferguson and the victim's race. He (Wilson) should have known better but he didn't.
And what would you have done if you were being charged by a 6' 300 lb man that just assaulted you?
You cannot prove he "charged at" the officer. He was already shot once...probably twice. Would you turn around and charge at someone who was shooting at you?
The ballistics report on the killing wounds of the victim prove he was charging officer Wilson. Ever hear of a kid named Chris Beck FT? He was charged with shooting his step father six times with a .22 rifle in Pace about 17-18 years ago. I saw the ballistic reports that delineated the travel of the rounds through the victim's body. The investigators of shootings aren't amateurs despite what you think. Chris got scared and shot his step dad as this man was charging at him. The reports I showed all six rounds fired hit the man, first point blank in the chest and then in the upper collar area and traveling down the torso and out of the body from what I remember. I know this because my ex worked on the case from the legal perspective. Give it a rest. Brown was a giant thug and bully just as Beck's step dad who beat him, his mom and his younger sibling. Brown got what he deserved.
The coroner who performed one of the autopsies on the victim reported that her remarks were taken out of context and did not necessarily corroborate Wilson's account that Michael Brown was reaching for the gun...but, OMG, let one news outlet report something and everyone seizes on it like it's gospel. Your analogy is apples and oranges...you said "Chris got scared...as this man was charging at him..." That's not the same at all...not even close. What was your ex doing sharing police business with you? http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/judy-melinek-ferguson-autopsy-report-msnbc

Shocking statement from Mike Brown autopsy expert gets lost in the shuffle of leaks and lies
When the St. Louis Post-Dispatch somehow obtained the confidential autopsy report from the local medical examiner, the newspaper consulted Dr. Judy Melinek to analyze the report and draw some very basic conclusions on how exactly Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Mike Brown on August 9 in Ferguson, Missouri.
Her comments about the scuffle drew so much attention that one key point she made was totally missed.
She says that the gunshot to the back of Mike Brown's upper arm could have come from behind while he was fleeing the scene, as described in the final three paragraphs of an MSNBC story:
All but one of the gunshots, Melinek said, seem to have struck Brown in the front of his body, which is consistent with witnesses who said Brown had been facing Wilson when he was shot. Depending on any witnesses physical proximity to the shooting, Brown could have been turning to Wilson in surrender, stumbling toward him after being shot or charging him.
The shot to the back of Brown’s upper arm, Melinek said, suggested he could have been shot from behind.
Nearly a half-dozen witnesses say that after an initial altercation at Wilson’s car, Brown fled and that Wilson gave chase, firing at him from behind. At one point, they say, Brown turned with his hands up and Wilson fired the final, fatal shots. Unnamed sources quoted in both local and national news reports say Wilson has testified that he fired twice from his car and several times after Brown ran, turned, and then charged at him.This statement absolutely contradicts the headline and thrust of this leading article published by the Washington Post less than 24 hours later, which relied completely on the report published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
This clear contradiction exposes just why the autopsy report and grand jury proceedings were sealed in the first place. Attorney General Eric Holder expressed his "exasperation" over these selective leaks, but it appears that even respected media outlets are misrepresenting the facts as well.
