The truth is we don't know Wilson that well. Neither one of us knew either personally.
Wilson doesn't have a squeaky clean past. All I'm concerned about are the facts of the case.
Brown was unarmed and killed 135 ft away from the cruiser. And possibly shot while fleeing. And then possibly executed while surrendering.
None of us were there. And so far, nobody has been able to completely prove Darren Wilson's story adds up.
Again, it matters not if Brown was armed or not. He was a predator, a suspect in a robbery, who just assaulted an officer, and was a fugitive from justice (evading arrest).
Those are the facts of the case no one disputes.
Calling the shooting an "execution" is a lame attempt to cast doubt.
However, a felon takes upon himself all consequences of his unlawful behavior. For without his initial criminal act, nothing else would have happened.

Wilson didn't know about the robbery. And we don't know who started the altercation.

So if he didn't start the physical altercation, and was surrendering when he turned around, he deserved to be shot in cold blood?

A. Mr Brown did start the altercation - at the store, when he robbed it and assaulted the clerk. . . FELONY #1.
And when he reached into the vehicle and assaulted the officer. FELONY #2.
B. He was not surrendering when he turned around and rushed the officer. A surrender would be dropping to the ground, hands behind his back. FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.
C. In cold blood means without emotional tumult. Being hit in the head by a massive thug is not conducive to "cold blood."
D. Officer Wilson stated that he backed up to confront Brown after reviewing the description of the suspect in the robbery, so he DID know of the prior act.
E. Justification and deserve are not synonymous. Brown's actions justified the officer's actions.
In retrospect, I wonder if all of Mr Brown's other victims would be so charitable about what he deserves.
You don't really believe that just that day, Mr Brown decided to become a thief and a brute, did you?

Let's also remember that cops have been killed by unarmed people. All it takes is coming out on the wrong end of a struggle for a gun and you're dead.
Anyone defending this kid is blind. A thug is a thug. He pushes a store owner and then fights with a cop to the point a gun is discharged. That cop could have been killed just as easily as Brown or the store owner.
I guess you know more than the multiple forensics experts who worked on the case.
One who had to come out publicly afterwards and state that the media was twisting her analysis.
