There's another eye-witness testimony that states that Brown confronted the Officer. I find that a little hard to believe, but then again I don't really care about any of the eye-witness testimonies. They are by their nature highly unreliable.
The death of Mr. Brown is shitty, but I'm more concerned about the rioting for now. Unlike the shooting, there's enough evidence of what's going on for me to be concerned. Brandon's pretty much on the mark regarding how disturbing the militarization of the Police is. Calling in the National Guard is one thing, letting police ride around in APC's with military-grade hardware is another.
