Was it legal for Darren Wilson to shoot Michael Brown?

30. No, according to the three witnesses who have come forward publicly.

All of them testify that Officer Wilson was bullying Mike Brown and Dorian Johnson that evening.

The officer drove by after telling them to "get the f-- off the street", and when the two young men retorted that they were almost home, the cop slammed on his brakes and backed into them and they just barely got out of the way.

When they passed the car and, according to Dorian Johnson, didn't say a word, the cop commanded Mike Brown over to his car and when Mike Brown didn't comply, the cop shoved open the door but Mike's bulk was in the way and it slammed back on him.

Then he grabbed Mike by the throat and tried to pull him in through the window (all witnesses corroborate Dorian Johnson's account).

When Brown resisted, Officer Wilson pulled his pistol and shot him in the shoulder.

Mike stumbled back and both young men fled: Mike down the street and Dorian behind a parked car. Officer Wilson quickly got out of his patrol car and fired off his second round into Mike's back which made him stop and turn around with hands in the air. Here's where Dorian Johnson broke down in tears, recounting how his friend's eyes were round and full of pain and terror while telling the officer that he was unarmed and to "please not shoot anymore". Officer Wilson marched up to him and coldly executed him, shooting him in the face and in the chest, and Mike Brown went down, killed instantly.

According to one witness who had videotaped the incident after the fact, he had seen the "cop stand over the dude's body and shot him some more while he was on the ground". If that's true, it's extrajudicial execution - murder. You can hear it in this video (at 0:50):
