An update on a story posted earlier today... There are conflicting accounts in the case of the Missouri teen killed by police this weekend. What do you think? A friend and witnesses say Missouri teen Michael Brown was unarmed and had his hands in the air when a Ferguson police officer shot and killed him, but that account is in dispute. The genesis of this was a physical confrontation, Jon Belmar, chief of the St. Louis County Police Department, said at a Sunday news conference. The officer tried to leave his vehicle just before the shooting on Saturday afternoon, but Brown pushed him back into the car, where he physically assaulted the police officer and struggled over the officers weapon, Belmar said.
