How far away from the gun was he when he was shot?
Any alcohol or drugs in his system?

Wilson never had the chance to make the arrest because Brown attacked. Even after four gun shots in the arm, Brown continued toward Wilson. At 6'4", 300 lbs with a beard and an intent to kill, Brown would convince anyone he could kill Wilson with his bare hands. I keep seeing the news post pictures of a baby face 14 year old as the victim instead of the big, bearded man smoking cigars that he was. Wilson finally had to shoot him in the head because Brown was attacking. Even an unarmed attack is acceptable to shoot under the "defense of life" standard, nationally. Here's some fun advice for you:

Yes because a friend of the alleged murder is such a trust-worthy source more then the eye witness accounts which say that the Brown was surrendering. A few fun facts
-Wilson was not informed that Brown was a possible suspect in the robbery, and he had stopped him for jaywalking.
-Brown was unarmed and had no criminal record
-Brown had just graduated highschool and was set to attend his first day at college two days after he was killed.

Let's assume all these allegations are true, why then was he killed instead of arrested and given due process.
Probably because he was attacking a cop 1/3 his size. Excessive size can, should and has been considered a weapon in cases of assault where the assailant is far bigger and stronger than the victim. Why are you so worried about the fate of a strong arm robber?

I seem to remember the insistence of the media in portraying Trayvon as a cute little 10 year old, instead of the thug wannabe he actually was.

Why then, when the suspect started to run away, did he not call for back-up? If he knew that he could not safely detain Brown then why did he attempt to do so? Maybe because he had no intention of arresting the suspect..
You wouldn't be simply making stuff up without any way to prove accusations you are writing of what Wilson intended?

The drama. Why no one gets a chance to call them out on it?

Quite frankly, at this point, no one knows what really happened. The witnessess for the victim are hardly convincing. There are plenty of instances of excessive force by cops. I don't think this is one of them.
Small store owners don't want trouble because that would just bring more troubles. Due process??? What a slap on the hand? Shoved the cop back in the car and went for his gun, just a lovely outstanding citizen.

Brown was accused of committing the robbery after the fact. There were multiple witnesses not just his friend. Even if he did commit the robbery is that justification for murder? Where was the due process that the constitution assures?

Had he started to run away, the bullet holes would have entered from the back. They entered from the front.

A kid is dead and that doesn't qualify as "excessive force"?
I like your avatar because it appears very professional.
It is nothing like the sophomore marketing of Vox media. Is CEO Jim Bankoff even a real person? Who comes up with this ridiculous stuff?

Your posts are not propelling the socialist movement forward.
You saw the video of the robbery.
It was violent.
Who told you that the officer had NO knowledge of the robbery?
He may not have had any first hand knowledge of the robbery but
did it ever occur to you that police radio broadcasted a lookout for
the bad guys?
When the store clerk called the police, in order to report the robbery, the civilian operator would have most certainly asked for things like:
Physical description
Clothing description
Direction of travel
Did it ever occur to you that the future dead man no more cooperated with the policeman than he did with the store clerk who caught him stealing?
If the suspects had fully complied with the officer's commands at the time they were stopped no one would have been injured in this case except the store clerk.
Oh, I've shot, beaten, bitten several times and had a gun aimed at my chest misfire from less than a yard away while attempting to make arrests.
Very seldom does the Media tell it like it realy happened..I was in Law Enforcement for 19 plus years. knocked heads with the media many-many times..for them its not what happened, its their screwed up opinions...and very seldom the truth..
