Officer Wilson looks much smaller than Brown from the photos I have seen of him, but not as small as the clerk Brown had roughed up. Although all of the evidence is not yet in it seems that at this point Brown attacked Wilson and beat him, hitting him in the eye hard enough to fracture his optical orbital bone (not sure of nomenclature) prior to Wilson shooting him.

Sorry, I thought Brown was the little guy. Regardless of size, there is still no reason to shoot to kill. If Wilson was a good shot, he could have shot to injure.
I agree, we must wait until the St Louis grand jury hears all the evidence and makes a decision on whether to charge the cop with homicide.
