It is looking like Michael Brown was approached by the police after committing a (violent) crime, and according to witnesses and autopsy results, may have attacked the officer. At this point all we know is that the officer determined his life was at risk and fired his weapon.
To whom is it looking like Brown attacked the officer?

Five separate witnesses who all saw the same thing. Brown running away and the cop firing at him. Brown turning around and the cop firing two more shots and killing him.

There has been absolutely nothing that I have seen where an eye witness has corroborated the officers version of events. And there is absolutely no evidence that the reason the cop fired his weapon was because he thought his life was at risk. It does seem like a convenient reason post facto to explain why the weapon was fired.
