Thanks, Chip. if Scoutmaster's post is the more accurate account, that the officer was 'knocked back towards the cruiser' and ' the policeman then drew his handgun, put Brown in a headlock with his other arm, and pulled Brown back to the car' then wouldn't that would contradict Mr. Johnson's version that the officer could not/did not exit the vehicle until after the first shot? But again, it's going to go back to forensics.

Don’t police typically have dash cameras or other video equipment rolling? Was there more than one cruiser? If so, and he had a camera going, that would show a lot.

Could be the key to the whole thing.

Not at all — it is consistent with his statement which is found here:

What the girl calls “grabbing him by the neck” Johnson calls a “headlock”.

Thus you have corroboration of what happened—
