So what? Brown thought he did.

Rxactly. This explains Brown’s disproportionate response, which must have taken Wilson by surprise.

So what? Brown thought he did.

Exactly! One of the possile narratives by an ex-fed prosecutor on Fox, so nicely put by by FReeper BluePlum

the officer didn’t know

that Brown had just committed a robbery.....

But Brown knew

and Brown assumed the officer knew.....

and so the dance began. And a side note:

In this day and age of cell and smart phone videos, don't you think it strange nobody at the shooting scene documented the event and cmme forward with proof?

Bingo!
