On Saturday night, dash cam footage from a responding Saginaw officer shows the moments after police say Brown beat a woman, attacked an elderly couple then tried breaking into homes. When three officers showed up, police say Brown assaulted them.A taser was used twice but that didn't stop Brown.Two bystanders saw what was happening and ran to help the officers. That's when Brown turned on them.
Police say one of the officers got his gun out and shot Brown who later died at John Peter Smith hospital in Fort Worth.
The department says releasing this video shows--- all measures were taken to prevent deadly force until they had no choice.
Sgt Damon Ing said, "We serve our community we want to make sure we're transparent and this investigation."
