Abstract

Around noon on Saturday August 9, Mike Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson headed down Canfield Drive, almost home. They were confronted by Ferguson Missouri Police Officer Darren Wilson who ordered them to walk on the sidewalk. They replied; they were almost home. After driving off, Officer Wilson suddenly put the car in reverse to return, and an altercation, whose details remain in dispute, ensued.
