Was Michael Brown surrendering to, or attacking, Officer Wilson?

The autopsy report -- privately done and commissioned by the Brown family -- indicates that Michael was either surrendering or charging the officer. The officer says he was charging. The witnesses say he was shot in the back (proven not to be true).

I think Brown was on his knees and executed.

“This one here looks like his head was bent downward,” he said, indicating the wound at the very top of Mr. Brown’s head. “It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer.”

1. Six foot eight.

If he was charging, he was intending to head but the cop in the belly like a bull.
