Michael Brown’s official autopsy report has been released and served as the __ for inciting even more anger in the protestors of Ferguson, MO.
According to officer Darren Wilson, while inside of his SUV, he and Brown struggled with his pistol when the teen pressed the barrel of the gun against his hip. Now, the autopsy that shows Brown hit at least six times, once in the head and one in the hand, may be a source for Wilson’s defense.

Brown’s blood was found on the officer’s uniform and inside his police car, law enforcement sources told CNN this week. Those sources corroborated details first reported by The New York Times.
At least one of the wounds Brown suffered is consistent with a struggle and appeared to have been inflicted at close range, according to a different source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
“That tends to support any testimony that there was some kind of scuffle in the police car,” CNN legal analyst Danny Cevallos said. “And if so, that tends to support Officer Wilson’s testimony and his justification for using deadly force.”
During a scheduled protest of 150 participants this past Wednesday evening, the police forced a few individuals back and proceeded to arrest two more. The protestors demanded the grand jury make a decision on arresting the officer in question.
Regardless of the grand jury’s decision, the Brown family and our legal team ask again for peace and calm, even though we understand people may have feelings of anger or disappointment. We encourage people to take their frustrations to the ballot box, not the streets,” he said.
