Original Note:
The currently accepted note states as a fact that Brown didn't have his hands up, which is not what the DOJ says. Witnesses testimony is contradictory and that Dorian Johnson "fabricated the hands up narrative" doesn't appear in the report. https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf Thus, the note should be rejected.
