Did the officer have a night stick? Did he have mace? Any other nonlethal weapons available?

Would be a bit difficult to use such, after a 6’4”, 290# guy shoves you back into the cruiser, is pounding you in the face and trying to grab your gun.

Keep in mind we are only dealing with hearsay in this account, but the story relayed by Wilson’s friend is that Brown broke away after the initial contact at the car, that he was about 35’ away from the officer when the officer shouted “Freeze!” Brown then turns back toward the officer, taunts the officer,and then starts charging toward the officer. It was then that the officer shot Brown. The story is second hand so who knows if these facts are correct.
