Chief Belmar said the incident started when Brown physically assaulted the police officer, pushing him into the officer’s vehicle. He said there was a struggle inside the car, and at some point Brown reached for the officer’s weapon. One shot was fired inside the vehicle.
Brown suffered fatal gunshot wounds outside of the vehicle, approximately 35 feet from the car. Belmar said multiple shell casings were found at the scene, and that Brown was shot more than once, but an exact number of shots fired has not yet been determined. All the shell casings came from the officer’s weapon.
Belmar confirmed Brown was unarmed at the time of the shooting. He did not say what led to the struggle inside the officer’s car.

"Nothing runs like a Deere" "Nothing lies like a cop"
The police have been abusing a lot of people lately, killing dogs, beating tea-party protestors, militarizing, killing kids in no-knock raids. This shooting may have been 100% justified, but all their recent misdeeds leaves me unsympathetic. My sympathy is for the business owners and decent people in the area.
