(7,908 posts)(Wilson told the two of them to get out of the street and drove off.) When he looks in his rear view mirror, he sees them still walking in the street. The nerve! How dare they disobey him? Hadn't the older one (Johnson) told him they were almost to their 'destination' and would be leaving the street quickly? WTF? They're still in the street? Why he'll just see about that! (Wilson reversed his car recklessly, almost hitting Brown and Johnson. "What did you (just) say?" he shouted out the window at Johnson, since Mike Brown had said nothing.) They told him they were getting out of the street but here they are still in the street. Those fucking n*****s are all the same, a bunch of god-damned animals who only understand one thing. Force. (Wilson slammed open his car door, striking Brown solidly in the leg and glancing off Johnson's leg before the door swung back shut on Wilson. He then reached out his driver's side window and, using his left arm, grabbed Brown by the neck to try to pull him into the car. Brown pushed back against the side of the car trying to free himself from Wilson's grasp. At some point during the altercation, Wilson had unholstered his weapon with his right hand and drawn it from his holster. He now points his weapon at the bigger of the two (Brown) and tells him , "I'll shoot you." But the bigger one continues to resist him. WTF? Who does this n*****r think he is? (Wilson started to say, "I'll shoot you" again, but his gun went off before he could get the words out.) Wilson now knows he must kill Brown or his career in law enforcement will be over and he will face jail time, his dreams of the good life with his fiancee all dust and ashes. (He fired once more from inside the car while Brown tried to push the gun away. The bullet grazes Brown's thumb, leaving a spatter of blood, tissue and DNA. Brown took off running and Wilson gave pursuit, firing several shots at Brown from behind, only one of which struck Brown.)
If my theory is correct, Wilson premeditated Brown's murder and thus could be charged with Murder in the First Degree.
Sorry for the Faulknerian stream of consciousness stuff. The OP sort of forced it upon me.
