The point is not how much damage the initial gun shot inflicted on Brown.
I agree it was likely minimal. The point is that it shows how determined,
aggressive, Brown must have been. A 40 caliber pistol going off
at point blank range, almost in his face, is quite an experience and suggests
that things will very likely get worse and yet he still didn't just surrender.

There is also this notion out there that a black guy can do everything wrong.
Commit a felony, ie a robbery at the convenience store. Commit another felony,
by striking the officer. Refuse to comply with orders to stop and get on the
ground. Curse at cops, give them attitude, start a fight, grab for an cops
gun and God knows what else. Then when it ends in them getting shot to death,
it's "the cop shot an unarmed black teen". Even if a cop made some error along
the way, I reject the notion that a scoundrel can do anything they please,
create a deadly situation, and then the cop is still expected to do everything
100% correct and if he does anything wrong, then it's the cop's fault for what
happened, racism, etc.


We ought coin a new urban term for this syndrome.
I mean, this is just begging for a catchy name.

Teenage Undestructibility (where the teen goes T.U.?)

Got to be some thing we can call this.
