If that is the case, how in the hell does Mike Brown reach for his gun? Officer Wilson would have been practically laying his whole 6'4", 210 pound frame directly on his weapon. Does Mike Brown reach practically his whole body inside the SUV? Nobody ever testified to that.

Listen, you really need to read the report. You'd see, for example, that Wilson never said that Brown grabbed for the gun when it was holstered. Rather, Wilson drew his gun, because he was getting clobbered and because his other weapons were not within reach, and then Brown grabbed for it. You're trying to disprove the wrong thing.

I do not think that there were two fired in the SUV, nobody would stick around for a second shot, and if you were hit, you definitely wouldn't stick around. Upon firing the shot inside the vehicle that hit Mike Brown's thumb, Mike Brown took off running.

There's no point in talking about what a reasonable person would do in Brown's shoes. A reasonable person would not attack a cop in his car, nor try to grab a cop's gun, nor turn around and charge the officer.

Mike Brown, now bleeding and injured from three gunshot wounds turns to face Darren Wilson and staggers back towards him (this is the three second pause in the audio recording), probably clutching his sides and clenching his fists in pain.

Let's put aside the fact that (AFAIK) your account doesn't align with any of the witness accounts. If your hypothesis is true, then Brown would have to have (1) realized he was hit, (2) come to a stop, (3) turned around, and then (4) staggered 21 feet back to Wilson--all in 3 seconds. That's simply not plausible to me.

I think the reverse about the LA Times article. Contemporaneous reporting is way more compelling than revisionist history after the fact.

I don't really know how to respond except with this. As a general rule, initial reports are almost always wrong. I'll spot you that initial testimony is often more reliable--i.e., the first statements Wilson made could be considered more reliable than later statements. The difference is that you're not talking about Wilson's statement--you're talking about the police chief's statements. Moreover, Wilson wasn't interviewed by the police chief; he was interviewed by someone else, who spoke to someone else, who spoke to the police chief, who spoke to the press. Basically, it's the telephone game. Of course, when preparing the DOJ Report, the federal civil rights investigators reviewed Wilson's initial statements shortly after the incident.
