It's not my definition. "Thug: a violent person, especially a criminal.". Adding adjectives relating to someone's appearance doesn't make any changes to that definition. A black criminal is a thug. A white criminal is a thug. An asian criminal is a thug. A latino criminal is a thug. Dear christ.
Given the broad definitions used by cops in regards to self defence I wouldn't be surprised if the cop thought that Brown's shadow tried to take away the ''gun''
Not in the slightest. Settling in court isn't uncommon or an admission of anything. Only that you don't want the headache.

Cool story. Now point out where in that report it says that their application of deadly force is wrong.
It says that many of FPDs policies at that time sewed mistrust in the community, almost all of the ones they listed don't support your argument. It has almost nothing to do with what happend between Wilson and Brown.
So if you are terminally ill and have no life insurance, go commit suicide by cop.
That way your family can sue.
Extra points if a few days earlier you submit college applications even if you didn't finish high school. That way they can claim "he/she wanted to go to college" sob story as well.
If you are black, its pretty much guaranteed they will get money.

Not really.
1.5 mil to make it go away is likely less costly than spending the money on the trial or getting a sympathetic jury that could have awarded even more... Given what's already happened there a judgement in their favor may have meant even more violence and then having to rebuild the next time the peaceful protesters choose to loot their own city.. Given the racial makeup of the city and the uncertainty of any wrongful death trail, settling was probably the smart move $$$ wise. But I'm quite certain you'll ignore those possibilities and just go on with the whole -- tacit admission tripe.
Also - the hypcrisy in claiming people are rushing to defend Wilson while at the same time ignoring what actually happened is well, funny.
I generally agree with your posts. But in this case I think it's more likely that they just wanted this headache gone. You can't win when you're defending against the "gentle giant" strangler of shopkeepers in an all black city. Even if you're right.

Or more likely the headache became to annoying and the profit / loss analysis said the continued damage control would cost more than the settlement.

He wasn't shot in the back. You can clearly see in the picture provided from the autopsy in the article that there are no bullet wounds on his back.
