Which is one of the tidbits allowing me to reach my prior conclusion.

Assuming is not actually knowing.

True enuff, but given the vid one might also assume he may have thot that he could also intimidate and overpower the LEO. Beyond that one might also assume he wasn't accustomed to being held accountable.

Incorrect, and bad style.

He didn't try to rationalize anything. He just observed that Brown may have had motive to resist arrest. Rationalizing would have implied just cause or something. Rationalizing is what you do, assuming just cause without evidence. For example, assuming that the gun going off in the car means Brown had in some way invaded the car. Assuming that Wilson had some kind of just cause to shoot him in the back as he ran away. Assuming a good cop would not allow an opportunity to surrender when a fellow puts his hands up, and is not otherwise actively attacking.

35 feet. Are you sure a person who has a gun ready and aimed is in deadly danger from an unarmed attacker, standing still, at 35 feet? Was that the exact situation described in the study you alluded to? So Wilson did not dare to pause, order Brown to his knees, and see if he complied, before shooting him?

I wonder how many other young black men have been shot around the country since this incident, mostly by their peers.

Again an idiotic remark, what the fuck do you think was going though the kids head.
He just robbed a store and now a cop is stopping him. The robbery, and the kids' actions because of guilt had a huge bearing on his own demise and the number one reason for it.

Tom you just look like a babbling idiot to all reading this thread. Carry on.

All of which goes toward making it plausible that Brown attacked Wilson.

But I say it's also plausible that Wilson got some kind of shit at his last stop, had a head of steam up, cussed out the guys in the street, tried to jump out of his car, found that blocked (and got painfully banged by the car door), and got really pissed, and then things really went to hell.

Is that what happened? Can't say. Want evidence.

I wonder if any investigators have talked to the people at Wilson's last stop?

Perhaps the only time I've ever agreed with a post of yours. Tom is succeeding in making you seem lucid. No small feat.
