While "small man syndrome" could certainly lead someone into stupidly provoking a confrontation with someone Brown's size, it's almost physically impossible to imagine someone of Wilson's size single-handedly pulling someone of Brown's size into a car window, particularly from the seated position.

BTW, someone beating me in the face and trying to take my weapon would probably make me pretty mad too. Having them charge at me would make me even madder, probably enough to take the shots.

While I leave open the possibility that Officer Wilson made a bad shoot, NOTHING in the storyline pushed forward by Brown's parents or the activists makes any sense. The storyline put out by Wilson's defenders thus far at least makes some credible sense.
And the education of the American citizen continues: If you attempt to disarm a law enforcement officer, in any state of the union, that is a deadly force encounter. No gray area, no hesitation. If you fail in your attempt then you have two choices, get face down on the ground, hands and arms spread out like an angel or freeze in time and don't move, because the only recourse for the officer is to get you at gun point and defend themselves as best they can until help arrives. Mr. Brown obviously didn't know this and tried unsuccessfully to re-engage the officer, and was stopped with deadly force. No mystery, no story to tell here, no gray area. I hope the Grand Jury is educated by an expert in Use of Force and they make the right call.
