On Friday, the ACLU of Missouri reported that it had received a "heavily redacted" copy of the incident report from August 9 shooting of Michael Brown.
This five-page document reveals very few details about the events of the fatal shooting and lacks even a basic narrative. Tony Rothert, Missouri ACLU legal director, called on the Ferguson Police Department to release a complete copy of the incident report to "begin building public trust."
Instead of a chronological narrative, the Ferguson PD report includes an “Event Report” and notes which indicate that officers arrived in response to a “disturbance” and that four to six shots were fired. This report does not include the name of the reporting officer.
