As I've said, in numerous posts, it was a ridiculous story to begin with. Who reaches inside a police car and tries to take the officer's gun? No one.

That's not what it says.

Your screen grab said Wilson said Brown never tried to remove the gun from the holster - not that Brown never tried to grab the weapon.

I'm completely being devil's advocate here, as it's been a long time since I remember reading about the case. Did he say that Michael tried to take it from his holster? Or just that he tried to grab it from him? He admits that Michael didn't grab it from the holster, but I didn't see if he was just asked if Michael tried to grab it from him after he took it out of his holster.

You're reaching with that one.

Reaching for a gun in it's holster and reaching for a brandished weapon are two entirely different things.

But you already know that, don't you?

Officer Wilson admits to drawing his weapon and shooting Brown, who made no attempt to grab the weapon, and did not strike Wilson. This is Wilson's admission, and it deviates from the previous narrative.

Where is supporting testimony specific to your claim?

That's not what it says at all, but keep trying.

Who reaches inside a police car to grab an officer's gun? Same kind of genius who robs a convenience store, smokes dope walking down the middle of the street, blocks traffic, refuses to move when the police tell them to, punches a police officer and charges at them in front of witnesses. That's who.

What line of the deposition by the family's lawyer did Wilson say Brown didn't try to grab the weapon once it was drawn?
