Rightwing attempting to astroturf Mike Brown Killing

40. You wanted to know why Wilson attacked Brown:

If you study the eyewitness reports of the interaction between Brown and Wilson it appears to me that Wilson misinterpreted one key event which was his opening of the car door and it rebounding back on him. From Johnson's account he said Wilson pulled up so close to them that he almost hit them. Then when Wilson opened his door it rebounded off of Brown.
It appears to me that Wilson was already hot under the collar by their explanation for being in the road and that they would be home in a short while. He was then further irritated when he interpreted the door rebounding as if Brown had pushed it back on him. Which he didn't, per Johnson's account. Wilson's misunderstanding of why the door came back upon him made him feel as though he was being attacked and thus felt he had good cause to grab Brown by the neck and or shirt.
I don't think Brown had any idea that he was a suspect in an alleged robbery. Wilson didn't either per his own captain's account. Brown was just minding his own business when Wilson came along and started overreacting to everything.
Thus Wilson attacked Brown because he felt he was being attacked. But he wasn't.
