No. I think his story doesn't make sense in certain parts and want him pressed on it. I don't assume his entire story is made up.
He can be embellishing parts of his story without the entire story being a lie.
I think most stories get embellished with numerous tellings , even IN transcription and also that since the human memory is not a computer data base that they all change over time as details that weren't immediately recalled come to mind are noted and included in subsequent tellings.
For example the description of Browns strength, it might be that the metaphor he uses is something he was trying to express the terror he felt.
I'd defy anyone of any ethnicity be they black or white to be alone in a neighborhood they knew well could produce a crowd capable of the violence we saw in those riots to be assaulted and be the ONLY person of their color there to not decide that they needed to resort to deadly force .
Hell I could even see the cop's lawyer pursuing a temporary insanity , it's so easy for all of us to consider Browns humanity , he died he was the biggest loser here ,but as a society we expect far more from the police than most any of us maybe none of us can deliver.
BTW that ejection of Shane Ray was bogus ,ain't sayin the game was lost there ,but IMO it could have been a lot closer
