"Michael Brown wasn't shot in the back, so Wilson didn't shoot at him while he was running away"

64. I don't think any of those shots could have been while running

As you say, it appears that the shots are all practically in line with one another, other than the shot to the left arm.

I think there "could" be an argument that the shots that missed and the shot to the left arm were while running -- except for the audio tape. The 10 shots on that tape are in rapid succession with only a short pause between two groups.

It seems the only argument against the officer that fits the evidence would have to be that he was running after Brown firing several shots, one of which struck Brown's left arm from behind. At that point, brown turned to face the officer. While facing the officer, Brown took several non-lethal shots before receiving the kill shot -- all while still facing the officer.

That doesn't prove that Brown charged the officer, but the pause in the shooting is consistent with Brown turning to face the officer. Was there enough time in that short pause for Brown to clear start rushing the cop and for the cop to recognize and react? I don't know. It is certainly plausible and apparently some witnesses say that is exactly what happened.
