Please get shot anywhere and tell me how easy it is for you to adjust your train of thought away from bodily danger and toward a target.

A man is literally feeling all of these injuries happening at once. There is no opportunity to aim.

"It feels like a sledgehammer hitting you in the back, my stomach felt like the worst incontinence imaginable. Then you paradoxically try to resume your task in the fight, until you realize your own bodily dysfunction. I started flailing and screaming as horribly as you could possibly imagine. I could hear people directing fire when someone saw me on the ground and started screaming like a banshee for a Corpsman. I could hear the corpsman call booming through the school house as I laid in the dirt writhing in agony and crazily pulling at the grass surrounding me, feebly attempting to displace the unmitigated sensation surging through me.

Then a warm pours over you, seeps through your body armor, pools down at your legs, and you can't even see it, because the one time you attempted to roll and have a gander is the first time you blacked out."

'McElhinney goes on to explain what he felt during the ambush, and how his fellow Marines, Afghan soldiers, and Navy Corpsmen fought back and kept him alive. A Stars and Stripes reporter on the patrol that day recalled him screaming "Oh God!" before falling face-down on a patch of grass, writhing in agony.'

Boy I bet this soldier was able to resist the pain long enough to get a quick shot in before blacking out. But in reality of the literal death match that is war all he had time to say was oh god before hitting the ground in an instant.


That's all well and good but you cannot predict with 100% accuracy how a target is going to react to being shot or how they'll behave once shot. Assuming "oh that's enough he's probably pacified now" after one shot could get an officer killed.

the media seems to be losing the sub-40 IQ upper middle class white kid crowd since only about 10% of the people claiming the moron was innocent are white teenage girls



"Cop shoots black man, claims man had a gun, forgot to bring body cam & forgot to turn on dash cam, both of which can prove it"

just 3 things i thought id leave here

For everyone trying to rationalize how people will react getting shot, don't bother. Everyone will react different. Some will go down right away, others won't even feel the injuries. A taser is supposed to take down anyone with ease right. Well in this videos, which has hilarious commentary I feel, some guy gets tasered multiple times without being phased.

You make it seem like it was premeditated murder and where is the gun supposed to be in the other images. The image of the gun doesn't show much.

in the first two pictures you can not see a gun from those angles, and in the bottom two you can see a gun in the same general area, but from a different angle

and i'm not saying it's premeditated murder, but casually forgetting to do two things that are crucial evidence for or against you is awfully suspicious

Here we go again, Kimon

The point is that statement was stupid.

And try shooting someone after being hit in a vital and tell me how that works, lol.
Someone hasn't seen many shooting videos lol

This isn't HollyWood kiddo where the baddies get punched in the face once or hit in the leg once and immediately go down. People can still keep going after being shot in the loving leg. Its a thing called adrenaline and willpower which apparently you don't think exists.

the teen could have been trying to unleash a loving nuclear weapon but if he was black i guess kimon has to defend him

Kimon shouldn't be graced with a return argument until he actually makes a good case. Which is not going to happen anytime soon.

Race plays into cases like the shooting of Michael Brown because he was unarmed and whatever motion he made that was construed as 'grabbing for the officer's gun' could have just been some innocuous movement that the officer saw as dangerous because he's a big black guy.

This is entirely different. Police officers are trained to shoot when someone points a gun at them, and it makes absolutely no difference what color(or age) the person is. There is no possible way that the teenager made some kind of movement that the officer 'mistakenly' saw as pointing a gun straight at him. This is just a case of a police officer doing his job, and if we don't draw the line here then all we're going to do is cheapen the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
