7. What matters is what Michael Brown did

We don't have all of the evidence. The police say he went for the officer's gun and the officer suffered injuries to his face. If true, then yeah, that's the sort of thing that has bad consequences. If you don't believe me, go up to the next cop you see and try to take their gun. It won't end well for you.

The video seems to show that Michael Brown was not a gentle giant and was prone to violence. To me that suggests it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility for him to have tried to same with the cop.
