Escalation means you either run, faceplant, or you will be killed. The problem with Brown is he attempted to faceplant, and was killed anyway.
For the majority of black young adults in St. Louis, Brown exposed an untenable situation. The situation is now run, or be ready to pull your gun and join the wild west. And that leads nowhere good really fast.

The thing is... Neither you or I or a whole lot of other people know what Brown's intention was when he turned around. You say he attempted to face plant. Some of the autopsy report indicates otherwise. Some think Brown was going to charge at the officer.
You can't make a legitimate argument without knowing all the information.
