Whelp, hope the vets calm down on tactics. That was pretty smooth given three people were shot.

Out of curiosity, can someone explain to me how is a man able to get shot twice and still be standing, and standing long enough to turn around and throw his hands up in surrender? I figured being shot once, let alone twice, is enough to bring anyone at least down, maybe not kill them, but I can't imagine them having the energy to stand.

Never being shot I am confused on the subject, but i was to understand its not a fun experience, and being shot twice...

Bullets don't work on movie/videogame logic and adrenaline rushes help mitigate/ignore pain. People don't instantly flop over and die when shot once unless hit in exactly the right spot. You still have a while before you properly die that you can still do things during.

Just pop invincible on that shit. Obviously the cop switched to magic-imbued bullets.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has asked for the Justice Department to arrange an autopsy on the body of Michael Brown by a federal medical examiner.

Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said in a news release on Sunday that Holder asked for the additional autopsy because of the "extraordinary circumstances involved in this case" and at the request of Brown's family.

The 18-year-old Brown was shot and killed by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer on Aug. 9. Brown was black and unarmed. Officer Darren Wilson is white.

Fallon says the autopsy will take place as soon as possible.

He also said the Justice Department will still take the state's autopsy into account during the investigation.

If that video is legit. Should be interesting.

If it is legit, then what was the fighting about in the other vid?

I'm guessing he got frustrated with the clerk because he didn't know wtf to grab and clerk got pissed/tried to put hands on him when he reached over to get them. The clerk comes out holding the money in hands, looking for a confrontation. Alotta store clerks get heated easily and have done this to my friends and fam on numerous occasions. Just my 2cents.
