Isn't aiming for the forehead dangerous? His head could easily move and now you have fired a bullet that could hit the public. I though centre mass was what officers are trained to aim for.

Kind of hard to do when you have a busted eye socket.

So the officer just fired randomly and happened to strike Brown on the forehead?
During Johnson’s Saturday press briefing to announce the new curfew in Ferguson, Malik Zulu Shabazz, who introduced himself as the head of the lawyers’ group, touted his groups’ “rapport” with locals and influence over the situation. ...............
Shabazz warned that the new curfew could be a “prescription for confrontation” between demonstrators and law enforcement given the sudden nature of the rule.

Are you saying that it isn't possible?
I don't think this scenario could ever happen in real life because if a black cop shot an unarmed white person there would be no rioting. The parents would wait for the autopsy and police report to come out and then take legal action if need be. no KKK needed.

That's fine. If the NBPP is in control of Ferguson, then everything that befalls there is on them.
Maybe they can bring peace. If they can, then they can own that and be lauded for it.
But if there is continued violence then they will have to own that as well.
This. I addition, if the KKK came in to "restore order," would the MSM reaction be the same because they are essentially the exact same type of racist groups.

Yeah sure... if your Steven Segal. Either way if the officer is busting shots off and can't even see... apparently this cop has nerves like a butter cup.

It affected one eye apparently. His other eye could have been tearing up, we don't really know what his vision was like at that point do we?
He was facing a large person running at him (according to his version of events) and he had his pistol drawn. Should he have fired in that situation? Yes.
Is he a crack shot? I doubt it.
Is is possible to miss in that situation? Yes.

Or he was running at the officer with his head slightly bent forward like a ram.
