I haven't heard any stories that make sense.
Stories I have heard:
One - Brown was shot in the back. From the videos I can see no back wounds.
Two - The different stories: Brown was running away. Then he was on his knees. Then he was shot five times with his hands up. I think his hands would have come down some time before five shots. He was shot four, five...I've heard ten times.
Three - Brown was a "gentle giant." The nasty shoving episode of him toward a much smaller man proves otherwise.
Eyewitnesses are notoriously wrong. Google it. Many studies on that particular fact.
I prefer to hear the whole story.
I totally think these Ferguson cops are goons...maybe not all of them, but we've seen enough to know that they are not the cream of any crop. The cops have handled this beyond wrong on every level. No one is saying the cop is innocent. Just I choose not to say he is guilty. BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.
I'm not going to rush to judgment yet.
