Dr. Baden said Brown had no injuries showing he was assaulted.
Including no injuries on either hand indicating he threw any punches

Fox news just said that the Police do have witnesses that said Brown punched the cop and charged him.
Sounds like they were well deserved too. You break a cop's face and attack him, you are going down hard.
Can I use this as an example of Poe's law?
Punching someone doesn't deserve a death sentence. Brown obviously wasn't a saint, but he did nothing to deserve death.

Should Wilson have just 1 on 1 fist fight with Brown instead?

I've hit people and received no injuries to my hand.
Are there no options other than "fist fight" and "death sentence"?
Did you hit them hard enough to break their orbital bone?

Wilson being the much smaller guy, dazed from just having his orbital broken and Brown intent on attacking, no. There was no other option.

But Brown ran away from the car after the gun was discharged. Wilson had to at that point get out of the car, aim his gun, and start shooting. At any point, he could have pulled his taser. He was still in the car, why didn't he call for backup and EMS? Why didn't he report it in any way?
It's a cop out. Brown literally ran from the car. Only one none-police source indicates that he ran towards the cop. Multiple others say he stopped before being shot.
Brown fucked up. Wilson fucked up worse, in a way that took a life. It's murder.

You miss the 1 shot you have with the taser, which has a much more limited range, and you're out of luck.
Brown was taunting the officer. He charged him. He lost. This was also confirmed by an eye witness on one of the phone videos from a bystander, not an officer or on the officers side.

Has anybody else thought that the shots fired were pretty classic panic/rushed shots? What I mean is that a guy aiming center mass and panicked would very likely miss left and the aim of the gun would climb for a few shots. That indicates to me less calculation and more reaction, especially in a trained shooter. Tell me if I'm off base here but that's my understanding.

I agree 100%. When the shit hits the fan, he was just trying to survive. I believe he just shot until Brown dropped.
