Once again I ask this question- Wasn't Johnson (the friend) the one who initially told investigators and reporters that Wilson shot Brown in the back while Brown was running away? If so, that would really make me question the accuracy of his GJ testimony.

No, he wasn't. Tons of people said tons of stuff, but Johnson's story was consistent from the start. He told the same story to the papers that he told at the grand jury.
I'm not taking Johnson's testimony as "gospel." I'm taking it as the truth because having read both Johnson's testimony and Wilson's testimony, and having knowledge of the local police culture, and the local community, I found Johnson more credible.
Unfortunately, as you appear to be a member of law enforcement, I understand completely why you are defending Wilson.
