15. Wilson's bad police work propelled the incident to its foreseeable tragic result.

Wilson struck Michael Brown with the car door. Wilson knew from his previous encounter with Michael Brown that the young man was acting in a defiant manner as most of us men have acted at some point at his age. Wilson also knew that Michael Brown probably was the perpetrator at the convenience store and that he probably would resist arrest. When Michael Brown made a poor decision to resist Wilson after being struck with the door, a tussle resulted and Wilson drew his weapon. I think that Michael Brown tried to push the weapon away when it discharged. I think that Wilson could have prevented that event if he had radioed for backup and parked his car in a position outside of the personal contact zone.
