Summary of officer Wilson's testimony. If anyone is going to have an opinion on this, they should read Wilson's actual testimony:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')ere Is Cop Darren Wilson's Official Account Of The Michael Brown Shooting

Wilson told the grand jury that he initially stopped Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson for walking in the street. While he was telling Brown and Johnson to get on the sidewalk, he told the jury, he noticed that Brown was carrying a handful of Cigarillos and realized that he'd heard a call earlier that day for a robbery involving the small cigars.

He said he then radioed for another car.

"I go to open the [police cruiser] door and I say, hey, come here for a minute to Brown," Wilson said in his testimony. "As I'm opening the door, he turns, faces me, looks at me and says, 'What the f--k are you going to do about it,' and shuts my door, slammed it shut."

Wilson said he then opened his door again and used it to push Brown back. Wilson said Brown grabbed the door again and he saw Brown coming into the cruiser. Wilson said Brown then punched him in the face.

Brown then reportedly turned to Johnson to hand him the Cigarillos. Wilson tried holding him back, according to the testimony.

"When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it is I felt like a five-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan," Wilson said.

He said Brown then hit him again.

At that point, Wilson said, he thought using his mace would be too dangerous because Brown reportedly had his hands in front of his face and the mace could have gotten onto Wilson and prevented him from being able to see.

Wilson then grabbed his gun. He said he warned Brown that he was going to shoot if Brown didn't get back, but Brown reportedly grabbed his gun and said "you are too much of a p---y to shoot me."

Brown reportedly then dug Wilson's gun into Wilson's hip. Wilson said he could feel Brown's fingers reaching for the trigger.

Wilson eventually regained control of his gun and tried to fire it two times without it working properly. On the third try, a shot fired through his car door, Wilson said.

After this, Wilson said, Brown "had the most intense aggressive face."

"It looks like a demon, that's how angry he looked," Wilson told the grand jury.

Brown reportedly hit Wilson again. Wilson fired another shot from his car.

"When I look up after that, I see him start to run and I see a cloud of dust behind him," Wilson told the jury. He then radioed for more cars, he said.

Wilson and Brown then started running. Brown eventually stopped, and Wilson said he stopped behind him, telling him to get on the ground.

"He turns, and when he looked at me, he made like a grunting, like aggravated sound and he starts, he turns and he's coming back towards me," Wilson said. "His first step is coming towards me, he kind of does like a stutter step to start running. When he does that, his left hand goes in a fist and goes to his side, his right one goes under his shirt in his waistband and he starts running at me."

Wilson then started shooting. He said he doesn't remember how many shots he fired.

Brown is still coming at Wilson at this point, he said. Wilson then fired another round of shots.

"At this point it looked like he was almost bulking up to run through the shots, like it was making him mad that I'm shooting at him," Wilson said in the testimony.

Wilson continued telling Brown to get on the ground, and Brown kept coming at him, Wilson said.

Brown then started to lean forward "like he was going to tackle" Wilson as he got closer, according to the testimony.

"When he gets about that eight to 10 feet away, I look down, I remember looking at my sites and firing, all I see is his head and that's what I shot," Wilson said.

"I don't know how many, I know at least once because I saw the last one go into him. And then when it went into him, the demeanor on his face went blank, the aggression was gone, it was gone, I mean, I knew he stopped, the threat was stopped."

Used to be in this country you would see signs "Looters will be shot on sight".

Maybe that policy was too harsh, but its opposite is no better, as evidenced by tonight's video feeds.

It's idiotic.

Ignorance shitting its own nest, all over the place.

I listened to the Prosecutors press conference and watched riot coverage until after midnite. Half a dozen african-american eye witnesses corroborated Officer Brown's version of events, as did forensic evidence from the police SUV and from the scene of the shooting as well as the autopsy report. Many of the witnesses who testified to the Grand Jury refused to speak to the press to protect their anonymity and prevent retaliation against them for telling what they witnessed in favor of the police.

Meanwhile a 12 year old boy was shot dead in Cleveland this weekend for pulling a toy gun on the police while in a public playground. Yet outside of Ohio has anyone heard of it? I certainly did not see it on CNN or FOX. The media picks and chooses what stories to report depending on their bias, just like the rest of us.

A cop shoots a felon that resists arrest , assaults the officer and tries to take his weapon? Where is the injustice there?
The thug brought his fists to a gun fight. Obviously not the sharpest pencil in the box.
His parents should have raised him better, and he is no loss to the community.

I'm sure Obama sent people to try and defuse a very dangerous situation. To get the family and community on the side of peaceful protest and against violence.

Having been beaten by police when peacefully demonstrating, I know the police are often over aggressive. In the UK at least they don't normally have guns, but their attitude towards ethnic minorities can be terrible.

Over here in the UK it's becoming more usual/popular for people to film the police and it does seem to have curbed excessive behaviour to a certain extent.

From the evidence I've seen although the officer can be seen to having justification for using force, gunning down an unarmed guy seems IMHO excessive, especially as the officer said he had a mace spray available as well.

Suppose the question is why go for the gun first?
