In a struggle for the cops gun in through the car window, shot 1 goes off, knocking the subject backwards.
The cop exits the car and attempts to control the situation.
The subject charges the cop and in fear of his life the officer gets off a few more shots to stop the threat, including the one that went through the top of his head.
That shot leads me to believe that there was a physical altercation and the officer in the dark, by himself, with several of the subjects friends around, felt that his life was in danger.
The cop will be exonerated.
I will put money on it.

I would agree with you 100%.
But I would like to correct you on one thing. You said he was shot in the dark and I was thinking I had seen footage indicating it was in the afternoon or early evening,
The only timeline I found was on USA Today.
Saturday Aug. 9
11:48 a.m. to noon ? An officer responds to a call of a sick person.
11:51 a.m. ? Another call comes in about a robbery at a convenience store. The dispatcher gives a description of the robber and says the suspect is walking toward the Quick Trip convenience store.
12:01 p.m. ? The officer encounters Michael Brown and a friend as they walk down a street. Brown is shot to death as a result of the encounter.
12:04 p.m. ? A second officer arrives on the scene followed by a supervisor one minute later. An ambulance responding to the earlier sick person call drives by and responds to assess Brown.
