A clearer picture of the incident is beginning to emerge-
1- The officer began getting out of his car to ask the two blacks not to walk in the middle of the road.
2- Brown lunged at him and crushed him with the car door, then tried to grab his gun.
3- Brown failed and began to run, but then stopped and turned back towards the officer
4- the officer, injured and on the verge of losing consciousness saw Brown turn menacingly towards him so he had no choice but to shoot in self defence..
