Reflects very badly on the police department, but doesn't really change the facts of the shooting, which is that Wilson shot Brown in self defence.
If you want to use individual cases to push forward a narrative about the treatment of black people by police in America, fine, but you might as well find some better ones.
If Brown never robbed the store, Wilson tried to arrest him for no reason. And if Wilson tried to arrest him for no reason based on profiling bullshit, then Wilson was in the wrong in the first place.
But it's never the kid defending himself from the cop.
This adds a huge hole in the narrative that Brown was some kind of violent kid Wilson needed to fear, and raises questions again that Wilson is a lying piece of shit who escalated the situation until he shot Brown.
