This is a longer letter from Chris' girlfriend posted to Justice for Mike Brown facebook page:

This was sent to me From Chris Schaefer Girlfriend about what happen at the church along with the video
I was hesitant to speak up about the assault of my boyfriend, Chris Schaefer, because I was concerned for the safety of myself and of my friends from those who attacked him.
However, I have decided that I want to clarify what happened that night.
Most of the media and the church in which he was beaten have provided the wrong information to public. This is what I want to clarify.
-He did NOT film anything at the meeting on November 6th. He was told not to film, so he did NOT film throughout the entire meeting. You can verify this information though his account on Bambuser (http://bambuser.com/channel/.Student) that nothing was uploaded or deleted during or after the meeting at St. Mark's. I texted him a few times during the meeting, and I also have proof. That is the reason he had his phone out.
-Some media resources as well as the church said that Chris simply ran out of the church, but what really happened is they shouted that he was livestreaming and, immediately after that, they rushed at him and robbed him of his phone, charging cable, and charger. They then pushed him violently inside the church and slammed him against the inside of the church exit door. He then stumbled outside and they continued to assult him. At that point, they hit a couple times in his head and fell to the ground. Four or five people stood above him and started hitting him, but he blocked them with his arms, hands, and wrists. He was also kicked in the stomach, the side, and the legs. At this point, five to ten members of the church group came out and formed a circle around Chris to protect him, then one lady pointed at the road and told him to run. In other words, everthing began IN THE CHURCH and ON THE CHURCH'S PROPERTY.
-The church group apologized to him at a press conference, but they did not contact to him to apologize personally at all. However, he did not know about the conference. They did NOT apologize because someone was hurt on their property, but to protect themselves. I appreciate that a few people tried to protect him, however, no one called 911 at the church during the attack or has contacted Chris to apologize since.
I know it was misunderstood that he was recording that night, but it CANNOT justify people attacking someone.
