My wife and I were talking about it the other night and we both agree that he got what was coming to him. The only issue she had with Officer Wilson was why did he continue to shoot at Michael brown outside of the vehicle. I understand how it's hard to imagine a wounded man actually "charging" a police officer, but I believe he did. Even if he didn't, when he punched officer Wilson and reached for his gun, wouldn't that be attempted murder? What authority does officer Wilson have in stopping an attempted murderer?
What would have happened (in your opinion) if Michael brown would have gotten officer Wilson's gun? Not good IMO I can tell you.
Everything woke turns to shucks

I recently took a basic handgun class that was taught by active duty and retired police officers. There instructions in a self defense situation were: "if someone is worth shooting one time they are worth shooting 5 times". Very few normal handgun calibers have the ability to completely incompacitate someone who is intent on doing you harm or killing you. Unless you make a head shot or hit them center mass which does not guarentee that they will drop or retreat. Therefor it may take multiple shots to slow the attacker down or kill them if needed. This makes it that much more important to make sure you are justified before making the decision to shoot someone.
As far as the ferguson case goes, I think a broken eye socket and he still coming forward is justifiable for multiple shots. I am not up on all the details of the case but what I have read I think it was justifiable. My $0.02.
And it helps for the only story of the events to be YOUR story of what transpired.
