Some bad decisions are fatal. Attacking a policeman is a bad decision that can be fatal. You want Brown to do outright dumb, illegal and dangerous things, and not face the full consequences.
Now you're after-the-fact armchair judging Wilson's responses to Brown's actions, as if Brown should be able to do whatever he likes, and never face any possibility of dying as a result. You're enabling the kind of irrational thought processes that lead to people making dumb choices that sometimes get them killed. Congratulations - you're part of the reason people like Brown die.
There are plenty of people who have died - in all sorts of circumstances - because of poor choices they made. That's reality.
Besides, even if the onus is on the driver to not make poor choices like not wearing a seatbelt, it seems absurd to say that if he dies because of this, trying to figure out what could've been done to prevent him from dying is enabling him to make such choices and get killed. Unless, of course, you have a complaint with the inventors of airbags.
Wilson did not execute Brown, or kill him for no reason at all. Brown died because of his own choices. He chose to rob that store, chose to walk in the street, chose not to obey the officer's legitimate instructions, chose to try and disarm Wilson inside his patrol car, chose to resist arrest and charge at a police officer with a drawn gun.
The only person here who denied Brown an opportunity to live a full life is Brown himself. Your implication otherwise is a denial of the known facts, the grand jury finding, and enablement of Brown's criminal and reckless behaviour.

So money solves every problem? A million dollars (source??)

is plenty of compensation for having to give up your chosen career, relocate, sell your house (probably at a loss), get a new identity, relocate your family, live the rest of your life looking over your shoulder
because a certain group of people won't abide by the laws of their society, and can't accept the consequences of their own actions
and their enablers (that'd be you, square_peg) encourage them to blame everyone but themselves.
