I thought the officer’s friend said he backed up to confront Brown because he heard the description and thought it looked like Brown. Maybe he first approached them about walking in the street and then drove on a bit and heard the description so he backed up to confront them... I can’t remember; did the officer’s friend mention him talking to Brown about walking in the street?
I think the idea is the officer heard it while he was there at the scene....backing up or opening the door to get out or both...the response from the kid was to push the officer inside and go for his gun.

Early reports did indicate the initial language was along the lines of telling them to get on the sidewalk...
Makes sense now if we take credence in them being in the street.
