Reports: Ferguson grand jury has made decision

It's highly speculative at best to believe that someone is going to be able to charge with one bullet to the head much less many.

Stay away from what you just know nothing about. My Father was awarded a Bronze Star for his actions on Tarawa. He was in the first landing wave, took a bullet to the skull while getting to the beach and then fought on until the beach was taken.

Generalizations and opinions....

Irrelevant to the GJs decision to NOT indict Officer Wilson.

Not irrelevant at all. You would see that the standard of proof that most judges employ.

Only this teen had six shots to the head not one. OVERKILL

If you were only on the grand jury maybe you could have made a difference. Or maybe you'd have heard all the testimony and made an informed decision, instead. We'll never know, will we?

You really should read more about the case before talking about it.

Turns out he was shot on twice in the head. One entered the top of his skull as though he had his head down and was charging towards Officer Wilson.

You are correct. The autopsy did state that the six shots that did hit him were in the chest and two went into the head. Still overkill.

The problem is there will be no case to be heard about what happened even though witnesses did not see the same thing the cop claimed. That is really a shame. There really should have been a court case against this cop.
 
Even after being struck in the chest, Brown continued to charge Wilson. What stopped him was two shots to the head.

Again, read the evidence. He was shot six times total (according to the federal autopsy). The four shots to his body were all non-fatal. Of the two shots to the head the shot to the top of the head was the fatal one.

What part of overkill do you not understand?

You are incorrect, the witness testimony agreed with Wilson's version of events.
