Original Note:
Michael Brown was shot after an altercation with police. He was an active suspect for a robbery, and numerous investigations concluded that Officer Wilson's use of lethal force was justified, as Brown had reached for the officer's service pistol and initiated a struggle. https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf https://text.npr.org/897836660 https://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/24/justice/ferguson-grand-jury/
