Perp reaches for your gun, standard procedure is to respond with lethal force. Why is this being questioned? The only question that should be asked is "did he reach for the cop's gun?". Anything else is ignorant dramatization.

The gun reaching is not going to be a big part of the investigation here. Even by the officer's account, the gun reaching occurred prior to Mr. Brown retreating. The officer does not claim that Mr. Brown was reaching for the gun a second time, so that's kind of moot. You can't just shoot someone who reached for a gun once if they are in the act of retreating. What will be important is whether Mr. Brown then turned around and ran towards the officer in an aggressive manner.
