From what I know, police are not supposed to shoot in a one-on-one situation until the other person gets within 21 feet--7 yards or approximately 4 body lengths. If Brown was killed at over 50 yards--7 times that distance--then logically either Wilson was not following procedure, or it wasn't a one-on-one situation, or he shot because Brown was committing violence against someone else. It must have been a one-on-one because Brown is the only person Wilson fired on. By Wilson's own testimony, the worst Brown was doing when Wilson showed up was jay-walking, hardly a violent crime. Therefore, Wilson didn't follow procedure.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
David Eddings also gave the "million words" advice, in the form "Write a million words. Now burn them." He said his first novel was so bad even he couldn't read it. But he was eventually a #1 best-selling author.
