It was one year ago today, August 9, 2014, when eighteen-year-old Michael Brown was shot to death in the suburb of Ferguson, Missouri, as he reportedly walked in the street with his friend when a police officer drove up and ordered them onto the sidewalk. Police claim Brown physically assaulted the officer and tried to reach for his weapon inside a police car. But witnesses provided a sharply different account, saying Brown was shot with his arms up as he tried to flee the officer’s fire.
