Nope. Read the article linked above. We have unrelated sources now saying that we have a 6'4" 290 adult charging the cop he had just attacked, getting shot a couple of times and still charging before the cop dumped (unloaded a full clip) on Mike Brown to stop him and avoid bodily harm. That's standard procedure for any law enforcement training in the US.
We do NOT have a situation of someone standing a good distance away doing nothing. If the autopsies corroborate that even further then we've had days of heightened racial tensions for no reason other than a hysteria inducing media searching for/perpetuating a story that wasn't there. I'll be very interested to see what comes of the toxicology specifically.
