Much more information was released today: 12 independent witnesses corroborate the police officer's story that he was attacked (his eye socket was fractured by punches to his face from Mr. Brown - again corroborated by all 12 witnesses.) Furthermore, the police officer shot out of fear for his life as Mr. Brown rushed him a second time.
This is a far different story than first portrayed: that of a "gentle soul" who wouldn't harm anyone and who was executed from behind with his hands raised in the air.
What is known is that minutes before his death, Mr. Brown robbed a convenience store.
