Okay sure why not

Point A: Darren Wilson was 100% unaware of this. He recieved no notification of this fact, and that's because:

Point B: The store owner himself has stated that it didn't happen. Someone else saw a scary black man in a store and got scared.

So first point gone- Let's change your statement to one that's accurate:

Point A: Darren slowed his car alongside them to tell them to get off the road, drove off ahead, turned around (Leaving skid marks on the street that are visible in photographs) to return to them to provoke a fight when Brown did not listen.

Point A: This is the farthest thing from the truth that could have happened and Fox News has even recanted this. Brown did not heed the officer and moved further away from the vehicle, but all evidence shows he was moving AWAY from the officer, and there was no lunge.

Darren Wilson stood over the already dead Michael Brown and shot him at point blank range repeatedly. That is roughly 3-4 feet of distance for a man standing at arms length from a prone body and firing, more than sufficient for the powder transfer.

Note also that the claims of firing his weapon at close range for the head and torso injuries, there are no powder transfers there, indicating substantial distance.

Also note that Darren Wilson repeatedly lied about his injuries and the extent, and that he lacks anything worse than a sunburn from that day.

Upon receiving bullet wounds to his back and side, he turned around with arms raised, and as he was kneeling received more bullet wounds to the top of his head and upper torso.

While laying unresponsive on the ground, Darren Wilson fired four more rounds into the body at close range.

So if you really wanted to come in here with an attempt to discuss the truth of what happened, let's try this:
