According to the autopsy four bullets entered his right arm and two bullets entered his head. Why were there no bullets fired into his legs or lower torso if he was supposedly threatening and charging the officer?

To answer your hypothetical self defense scenario question I would have aimed for the torso and not the head.

My guess is the arm is the part of the body that will cause the least amount of harm, and least amount of recovery time, and actually recovery time would be easier because you won't need things like a crutch or wheelchair to get around. Still this makes no difference in weather this was an execution or not, the fact that four non-lethal rounds hit a guy that was still coming at the officer. Compared to me in a self defense situation, the guy got two extra non-lethal hits and still didn't stop. How many non-lethal hits does it take before you no longer consider it execution but self defense to shoot at someone's head? If it were you protecting yourself or your children, and the hostile is coming into arms reach of your firearm after taking several rounds, when do you shoot for the head. The correct answer there is immediately by the way, although based on what you said you clearly would disagree.

Also, the officer, at that point, has a certain amount of fear, panic, and adrenalin all affecting him, yet he still had the composure to fire four shots before getting anywhere close to anything that could be lethal. Officer Wilson kept his wits about him in a very trying and stressful situation and, if anything, showed calmness and restraint in the midst of fear, panic, and pumping adrenalin.

Speaking of the situation, I love the guilty verdict from someone who A) has likely never been in such a situation and B) shows no sign of having going through any training that would cover such a situation. You claim certain scenarios that have no real meaning next to reality, such as where the non-lethal shots hit, as evidence (actually it looked more like grasping at straws to me). You also claim that shots to the head, which are perfectly legal in the state of Missouri if the situation warrants it, as an automatic sign that an execution happened. Very few juries, however, will convict anyone who intentionally fired four non-lethal shots at someone, no matter where they hit, and if he was still a threat and kept coming turned to lethal shots.

And what was this cop attacked with that gave him the right to execute an unarmed man?

If an unarmed 300 lb black teen starting hitting you.....I assume you would just let him kill you?
Your whole argument is illogical and based on black distrust of authority.
Mike Tyson didn't rape that woman and OJ didn't kill two people either. Michael Vick was singled out because he was black.
Martin Luther King didn't want blacks to always play the victim role and you are letting him down.

The DA hasn't even finished his statement and the trouble makers are already throwing projectiles at the police. They already said there will no charges brought against the police officer and they are going over in detail what happened the day Michael Brown was shot. It seems there were no credible eye witnesses to the actual shooting despite what the news outlets have been presenting. Most witnesses told several different stories and none of the witnesses told the same story. Some ultimately admitted to the grand jury that they really didn't see anything. The police officer was the only one who gave an account that matched the physical evidence. Imagine that.
 
Many times most people will get things or what their perception of things are can be way off. Watched an experiment that showed a person getting mugged and this tape was shown to like 10 people and pretty much all of them had a different account of what happened as well as a variety of totally off base answers to questions like what was the person wearing and what they looked like. It also shows how the media can take something, spin it and bam we have sonething that isn't the truth but everyone believes it because the news said it was so. By doing this no matter whether the officer was right or wrong there is going to be riots and such as the ball was set in motion for that from the get go! Just hope that no die because of this! I can see this being a nationwide problem and will most likely not be a good ending no matter the outcome of the jury. JMO. God Bless.
 
And how many millions of dollars of our tax money has been wasted?
One hotel in a neighboring town lost $150,000 because of the hotel's now former employee and ex navy guy who saw and posted on FB the said hotel's garage chock full of homeland security vehicles in which HS removed themselves to another secret location because their cover was blown.
One good thing for HS is that they got to practice in real time for such contingencies.

Hitting? I thought the victim was accused of charging the officer?

Black teen, Mike Tyson, OJ and Michael Vick? Your comments border on racism.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

I don't agree with the Grand Jury decision either but I'm not going to go out and burn down my local auto parts store or throw projectiles at my local police force. With all the worldwide media coverage that this case generated these people are on the world stage and their acting like a bunch of idiots. For better or worse it's time to accept the Grand Jury decision and move forward.

The evidence and several witnesses proved the teen thug was hitting the officer through the open window of the police car which is when at least one shot was fired.

Racism? Took the comments a bit bit of context didn't you? That's what racism is to me.
