Enlighten me, which steps did I skip?
The ones where Brown said "eff what you have to say" and all the other comments, Wilson backing up to confront somebody he now believed was likely involved in the theft of cigarillos, Wilson again verbally confronting Brown. Wilson should never have approached two people because Brown was big and scary and cops shouldn't approach people or situations that are scary. I think that covers it all but I probably have missed something. It's hard to keep up

He actually did know...not when he asked him to get off the road but before he went to exit his vehicle. There was some confusion about when he knew, but if you've kept track he actually knew pretty fast.
Later, the chief said "Well, Darren Wilson did not know that Brown was a suspect when he initially confronted him" and then yet later in the day, the chief told the "St. Louis Post Dispatch" that initially he did not regard him as a suspect, but when he saw the cigars in his hands, things changed.
At noon, Wilson reports that he’s back in service from the sick-baby call. He then asks the officers searching for the thieves – units 25 and 22 – if they need him. Seven seconds later, an unidentified officer broadcasts that the suspects had disappeared.
At 12:02 p.m., Wilson says, “21. Put me on Canfield with two. And send me another car.” His call triggered at least two officers to head his way, including one who said he was close to Wilson.

He didn't know that he was involved with cigarillos theft at the time,that was an after thought, although he could very well had mouth off to the cop people have been shot for less,and clearly the prosecutor throw the case.

The dead kid was executed on the street.
Called suicide by cop - it was all Brown's fault, but some people refuse to accept reality!

No, the evidence shows that cops have been given the Blessing by the Pentagon and the justice system that they are special. If I was so afraid of going into a neighborhood with such dangerous conditions, I would choose to go alone? If I thought I was onto two thieves walking down this dangerous neighborhood, I would choose to confront them, alone? If I were attacked sitting in my patrol car, I would choose to chase a neighborhood kid through his neighborhood, alone? He was a bad cop with bad judgment and self righteousness. He needs another profession where he is not in power over american lives.
