Original Note:
It is undisputed that Mr. Brown and his companion had just robbed a convenience store of cigars. The use of force, in this case deadly force, was resorted to by the officer only after a first violent attempt to disarm the officer and use his own gun against the officer. https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf
