He mentioned that the lack of gunpowder residue meant he was not shot up close, which brings into question any statements that he was going after the officer's gun.

The cop's story of the events doesn't have him going for the gun at the time of the shooting. It involves being knocked back into his car, being punched in the face, then struggling for the gun inside the car, where a shot is fired (misses everyone). Then Mr. Brown starts to retreat from the scene. The cop pursues, says "Freeze!", then Mr. Brown turns, has a few choice things to say, and then rushes at him.

So there is no inconsistency between the physical evidence uncovered so far and the cop's story.
