Original Note:
The Department of Justice investigation into the death of Brown found the evidence consistent with the officer’s statement that Brown attacked the officer in his car and later lunged at the officer. Witnesses largely testified that Brown was not shot while his hands were up. https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf
