Wilson asked two men walking in a street  to walk on the sidewalk in an area that was really more of a subdivision.   This was not Main Street or a crowded road but a residential road through an apartment complex.   Wilson was on guard based on his testimony of what he considered the area to be like.

Mr. Brown was already agitated from the store incident.   He did not take kindly to the pestering or maybe Wilson asked nicely at first and Brown and his friend ignored him.   Either way a verbal altercation started which resulted in Brown assaulting the officer in the police car.  

Shots went off in the car.   Brown was shot by the gun.   Brown started to flee.   Wilson went after him and ordered him to stop.   Brown turned and charged Wilson who discharged his weapon until Brown was dead.

For me reading the GJ material the physical evidence and other witness evidence supports this scenario.

There are lots of unanswered questions.  Why didn't Wilson stay in the car and wait for backup.   What was the friend doing this whole  time?   What made Brown turn around?   He was already shot as shown by the blood evidence.   What was said or done to make him decide to turn on Wilson again?

Either way the question to the GJ was pretty simple.   Did Wilsons account match up to the physical evidence better than the witness testimony contradictory to the testimony that supported his story.  

Bottom line the GJ found the physical evidence matched Wilsons story.   So much in fact that they couldn't even support the prosecuting him.

All that said it appears to me the prosecuter believed Wilsons account and did not try to convince the GJ of any other theories or make the case that even though Brown wasn't an inicent bystander Wilson may have been just as responsible for the situation getting out of hand and ultimately he had a higher burden of responsibility since he is a cop and he had a gun.

To met the real question is to what burden do we hold law enforcement when it comes to how and when to use deadly force?  This case has always to me been more about how the system failed Brown more then this particular officer.   From my understanding of the Law if Wilsons story is the truth then he did not commit a crime.

That makes me uncomfortable, I also think the police are given a fairer shot by the law then an average criminal but those facts existed before this tragedy.  

I will say that I feel like this country is at a tipping point with law and order.  Personally I am hearing it from people on both sides of the isle - police are no longer assumed to always be the good guy.  It started with white college kids getting pepper sprayed over income inequality and has escalated now to police overreaction in poorer communities.  The movement towards decriminalization of drugs, and increased awareness of abuses of power, gives me some hope that this can move in a positive direction.

The medical investigator did not take photographs at the scene of Brown's killing because the camera battery had died, the grand jury heard.

The investigator, who goes to the crime scene to collect evidence for the pathologist, also did not take measurements of anything at the scene because they "didn't need to."

The investigator, whose name was redacted, said: "It was self-explanatory what happened. Somebody shot somebody. There was no question as to any distances or anything of that nature at the time I was there."

Given this apparent perversion of the grand jury's nominal function, it's rather difficult to not conclude that by playing "Rashomon" with both grand jurors and the general public in this fashion, St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch managed to obtain his desired result.

The Michael Brown incident is tragic, no doubt.

But it is a spark that could not ignite such a violent reaction if a situation didn't exist that could explode from that spark.

There is severe income inequality in this country.
Everyone knows it.
There are a disproportionate amount of minorities who are incarcerated in our horrific jails.
Everyone knows that too.

But little or nothing is being done about it.
And, it may be cruel or unfair to say it, but I feel that our President should spend less time on the golf course and a little more time exploring the country and visiting its cities.

And, it may be considered naive to say it, but I think that the $300,000 we are spending every hour on our adventures in Iraq and Syria are funds being diverted to prop up a system that benefits the few in this country, to the detriment of everyone else.

He NEVER possessed the psychological makeup to be a police officer.

And yet McCulloch in his recitation said that he did.

So who's lying???  

McCulloch also says that the 12:02 call to dispatch asking for backup took place when he first met them at ~12:01.

So in McCulloch's world 12:02 means 12:01.

With respect to McCulloch's statement:

The content is simply stunning. Prosecutor McCulloch basically gives a closing summation from the perspective of Darren Wilson's personal defense attorney. Which makes sense, as that has been the clear and unmistakable posture of McCulloch from the outset of this charade. He glowingly recounts cherry picked aspects of Wilson's testimony to support the officer's narrative, and then attacks the numerous civilian, and mostly black, witnesses that support the Brown side of things as all being either mistaken, liars or not even there. Just amazing.

But, as I alluded to, it was not just the content, but the timing of McCulloch's press conference as well. It was a consummately reckless and hideous thing to do to wait until well into the night and darkness to incite the tinderbox of emotion and protest.

Regarding the conduct of the standing prosecutors:

The one substantive comment I will make for now is the way the standing prosecutors, Kathi Alizadeh and Sheila Whirley, spoon fed the witnesses, and especially Darren Wilson, and otherwise slanted everything imaginable, to support the exoneration of Wilson is just disgusting. I have read countless grand jury transcripts over the years, and I have NEVER seen anything that remotely resembles this kind of biased, for the defendant, dog and pony show. Again, it is simply insane and unheard of.

Makes you wonder if McCullough really tried, or instead tried to cloud the issue by drowning the GJ in useless and/or conflicting information.  

Among things we learned is:

The altercation at the SUV took place THROUGH the window -- Brown was not IN the front seat -- only his hands, arms or upper part of his body.

Body was 153 feet from the SUV -- not 35 feet as Chief initially claimed.

12:02 in Ferguson comes before 12:01.

That cone marking something on the ground suspected to be a shell casing about 30 feet behind the SUV was a mirage.

The decision to keep the called up National Guard out of Ferguson and let the looters and arsonists run wild needs some explanation.  Some of those burned out businesses will likely not come back.  And H. Clinton to the contrary those jobs won't be back either.  

Governor Nixon has some 'splainen' to do.

According to his story there was a lot of time between when he left the SUV and when he fired the final shot -- half minute atleast.

This is his story as told before that Glide audio recording came out showing that the final shots were fired so quickly within 7 seconds -- too quickly for Wilson's story to be credible.

The final 10 shots began at 12:02:07 -- a mere 7 seconds after Wilson ended his 12:02:00 call to dispatch from his SUV, the final shot being 12:02:14.

That left Wilson with 7 seconds to hang up, get out of the SUV, run 150 feet, and then wait for Brown to come 15 feet back toward him before he begins his 10 shot fusillade.

Running 150 feet within 7 seconds is tough enough without adding that wait for Brown to backtrack 15 feet.

The short time that he had here shows that he more than likely began shooting Brown at that spot before he moved those 15 feet back toward him.

That may explain why his blood was found at that spot. He was shot there and then came forward.
