Did he gesture like he was teaching for a weapon? Did he assault the police officer? Why did the cop pull his gun and kill the guy?

His friend said he was shot in the back. He said Brown was running away, there was a shot, Brown stopped
as if he was hit, then turned around around with his hands up.
But there are other witnesses who claim that when Brown turned around he started running at the officer. The wound pattern seems consistent with that story, because it goes from the hand, up the arm, to the shoulder, to the head. So it looks like he wasn't shot while he had his hands up, if he ever had them up.
