When he attacked the officer and caused him injury. Attack an officer, and expect that they can use their full legal authority to use all means necessary to stop the threat.
How frustrating for the injured cop when the threat has already stopped.
Then what's he supposed to do?
Call another cop and file a complaint about the assault?
Cry like a little girl?
Maybe just not mention it till the hurt goes away?
You mean, Brown who stole a $48.99 cent box of cigars and towered over and shoved a clerk. That
Brown, who when Wilson pulled over, did not even have a clue Brown was the suspect from the robbery. That Brown, who Wilson told to get the **** on the sidewalk. That Brown, who lay dead in the street, while Wilson was alive, healthy, alert, and walking next to his dead body.
Yes, context does matter. Sanity on the other hand, is so overrated
$48.99 cents?
Anyway, think of this logically - the officer didn't know Brown had just committed a strong arm robbery, but Brown knew. And in that, isn't it logical that he would think the officer is trying to bust him for his just committed strong arm robbery? And try to fight and get away violently?

The premise is faulty. It's based on the posters "understanding" (supplied by whom?), not facts or logic.
As well as no evidence otherwise. See how that works?
Also, out of two people involved in this - does not the sworn LEO have a bit more credibility over the strong arm robber? Or are both just equal?
Neithers word will trump evidence. Things like autopsies, distances and positions when shots are fired as demonstrated by the evidence, etc. The same stuff that seals the fate of murderers everywhere.
