It may turn out that Brown did go for his gun, but in reality he went for my gun is a typical defense for shootings involving an unarmed suspect. Just like the subject resisted arrest , the subject acted in an aggressive manner or the classic, the officer was in fear for his safety are common in any police report. All of these are boiler plate statements that officers put in the narrative of their incident report in ANY use of force. As they should. Claiming these statements as a factor in using force is fine, but the fact that some in the media are using them as proof of guilt is bullshit. An officers statements alone do not constitute a reason for using deadly force.
