How do we know that was what he was trying to do?
Considering the cop that did shoot him, shot him when Brown was in no position to hurt anybody any longer because the cop could have ordered him on the ground and call for backup, how do we know Brown wasn’t simply trying to save his life?
My point, which perhaps I wasn’t very good in making, was that the media I have seen emphasizes the “unarmed teen” notion without even giving a NOD to why he was unarmed....Taking an officer’s gun could also be assault, and the police officer apparently had facial injuries and needed to get medical treatment....but none of this has been pursued or reported....
I guess what I am wanting is BALANCE in journalism....at least until all the facts and context of the event in question are known.
