He has a vested personal interest in protecting his safety and that of the public.

When you do that, investigations take care of themselves.

I would say that he has a lot at stake personally depending on how this investigation turns out and has a great deal of motivation to present his account of what happened in a light that would be favorable to himself.

Facts do that for you.

I dunno, in that last video I saw, Wilson seems to be doing a lot of standing around/pacing for a guy who supposedly just had his face pummeled by a 300lb man. Of course it is from a distance and rather fuzzy.

I think Fox tried to spin his injuries out of proportion to what they were.

It's Fox after all.

As for the incident itself I think that probably Brown resisted thinking he was being busted for the robbery and he probably did punch Wilson and then run away.

I think Wilson became enraged both from Brown defying his authority and also from being punched in the face and just plain lost it and began firing after the fleeing Brown. Brown, then hearing gunshots and perhaps bullets whizzing past him thought "Holy shit!", he's gonna kill me if I keep running, so he stopped and turned around with the intent of giving up. However Wilson, still in a rage, continued to fire and killed him.

I think Wilson began firing after Brown aparent atemt to grab the gun.
