I certainly don't know what's more likely, but it seems like the two stories being presented (at least prior to the court):
Either a teenager is shot in the back, turns around, pleads for his life with his hands up and is executed in front of several potential witnesses. Coincidentally, and unknowingly, the teen had resorted to violence and intimidation only 10 minutes prior. A couple eye-witnesses present (more-or-less) this. Too bizarre for me to accept at complete face value.
Or that the man was shot multiple times, and continued to charge at the officer. A candid conversation caught on tape between 2 unknown men seem to indicate this as a possibility.

“He was like, over the truck, [garbled] so then he ran. Police got out, and ran after he him,” said the witness. After running, the witness said that Brown stopped and turned back around. “Next thing I know he’s coming back towards the police. The police had his gun drawn on him,” the witness said. “Police kept dumping on him, I’m thinking that the police missed him,” he continued, saying that he heard “at least five shots” and saying that “police are…this far from him.” “Next thing I know,” the witness said, “I think…dude start running, kept coming toward the police.”

Too bizarre for me to accept at complete face value either.
