He was shot twice in the head, and then the cop unloaded four more rounds into Micheal's body, which was laying on the ground because he was already SHOT IN THE HEAD, TWICE... [according to] Multiple (non-cop) eyewitnesses.
It should be no surprise to anyone that eye wittiness accounts can be notoriously inaccurate.

Then there's this, which doesn't exactly jive with your timeline of events:
"One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said."

Doesn't look like the M.D./M.E. hired by the Brown family agrees with you as to how the shooting went down. But wait, there's more:
We now also have that video I posted earlier, in which an eye witness details to another bystander how Brown ran back at the cop after he had his weapon drawn on him, just moments after the shooting:
Quotations below start @ 6:28/6:29 of YT video:
Bystander #1 How’d he get from there to there?
Bystander #2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck – cause he was like over the truck
{crosstalk}
#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him
{crosstalk}
#2 Then the next thing I know he coming back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –
#1. Oh, the police got his gun
#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like – but he kept coming toward him
{crosstalk}
#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing
#1 The Police?
#2 The Police shot him
#1 Police?
#2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled, possibly “he took it from him”).
As I said before, this is pretty compelling given how soon after the shooting that this was recorded. As you can see, LE hadnt even had a chance to cover the body yet, so this obviously took place well before any type of external influences (news media, social media, public opinion, family members, friends, Jessie Jackson, et al) were able to muddy the waters.
Because of that aspect, I'm more inclined to give this video more weight than someone who gave a rehearsed statement to CNN a few days after the fact while a lawyer sits next to them.
I suppose its possible, though, that the video above is a hoax, the (independent) autopsy is wrong, and the other "eye wittiness" which said the police shot Brown "in the back" are all correct. Besides, I'm sure no one would embellish anything to the news media in order to gain public sympathy (or for a myriad of other reasons)... so that should never be a consideration for anyone looking at this with an unbiased and critical eye. Unless the info came from an official source, of course
I think we need to stop and ask ourselves if we are running head forward with our blinders on, or if we are properly analyzing all of the available information. This case is obviously
not cut and dry, regardless of what public opinion may be... and that's truly my only point here.
Edit: On a side note, I feel that circulating non-vetted "information" such as "
he was shot twice in the head, and then the cop unloaded four more rounds into Micheal's body", is doing way more harm than good. Now I understand legitimate reporting accidents happen, and people get reports wrong all the time... but there's a fine line between mistake and propaganda, especially if that "mistake" raises tensions which leads to more public harm. This is yet another reason why people (and I mean everyone), need to really think about things before stating them as 100% fact.
