Horrible weapon control by any measure. Big Mike was hit and poorly. How do you miss a target that big? Center mass, Center mass, center mass.
Having shot with quite a few cops I am not at all surprised that Wilson couldn't hit his target. If they can't shoot consistently on the range, how will they shoot while under pressure? The answer is simple. They won't shoot very well. It is scary to think that these guys are out there.
Wilson hit his target five to six times and put his target down which is exactly what he was trained to do.
Everything else you posted means nothing in this case.
This video, taken shortly after the shooting, shows that Brown's body lay in the middle of the street about where the driver's side of the officer's car would have been. Taking this into account, one can conclude that Brown had not gotten far (as in attempting to escape).
1. Officer kills an unarmed black teen in the street.
2. Officer who kills the teenager requests assistance but does not inform his commanders of what happened. Instead, they learn it on the news like everyone else.
3. The scene is left in the hands of the officer’s own colleagues who allow the officer to leave the scene of the crime. His vehicle is also allowed to leave the scene – presumably breaking the integrity of the chain of evidence.
4. Victim is left lying in the road for four hours – inflaming the community and presumably destroying evidence.
5. Witnesses say that the killing officer never bothered to check for a pulse once his victim went down. None of the other officers arriving on the scene checked for a pulse. Bystanders in the medical field were not allowed to attempt CPR.
It very well may be but there's a lot of shucking and jiving going on in the meantime. And why if there are multiple eye witnesses wasn't the officer arrested??
I could care less the race of Brown. I care about justice and the issue of Policing in this country.
Because those eyewitnesses saw something that didn't happen.
He wasn't gunned down in cold blood while running away.
If the law operated the way the "people" wanted that officer would have been executed 24 hours after it hit the news as a cold blooded racist murderer.

Well one of the witnesses was with Brown when he committed a robbery and still with him afterwards, not sure why he was not sitting in the back of a cop car himself and the others are making claims that do not jive with the evidence sooooooo maybe that is why the cop is not under arrest. If you really cared about justice you would accept the evidence that is coming out, but then again it does not support the "justice" you want, does it.

Because in the case of defense the person is considered innocent until proven guilty.
Same happens with individuals who say they were defending themselves or their property.
Go read up on Sophia King's story (Austin TX 2002). The only Black person to defend the cop was the one the cop saved from being stabbed with a butcher knife. Everyone else there wanted the cop arrested for murder of a Black woman.
Hmmm, Dr. Baden's analysis or yours? Which should we believe, I wonder?
Dr. Baden said that Brown was "bowing?"
