I don't know why I'm bothering. First, it's been explained to you about those tapes - they are the wrong dispatch. Second, you're assuming on why that officer was there. I can do that too. I'm going to assume the shooting was called in by either Wilson of the second officer who arrived on the scene mere minutes after the shooting. See, that's all we have - assumptions - until the evidence provided to the Grand Jury is provided to the public. Until then, stop trying to make every wrong assumption on your part into some grand conspiracy.
After reading her Posts South bel don't bother her mind is made up and she can't see outside of that mindset.
Some folks could look at that a different way:
All those things COULD imply the police are trying to get him to change his story.
I remember a lot of that happening in the Troy Davis case in GA. Witnesses came out and
even said, they said what they said because of police pressure of retaliation of some sort.
Didn't you just say you didn't say conspiracy. You want one outcome regardless of evidence. I already hear people saying coverup. Playing victim must get people off
It sure did during the o.j. Trial and his lawyers pounded it but now all of a sudden it doesn't?
According to this guy, after the robbery, Brown's state of mind could lead to motive or intent and
under rule 404(b) likely be relevant and admissible in court.
but then the fact that Brown was never charged in a Robbery, not because he is dead but because,
according to his lawyer, the robbery never took place -
"There was no crime. A customer may have called the police, but the owner never filed any charges. In order for a crime to have happened, the victim needed to make a report. The shoving of the store owner, which is a misdemeanor battery, cannot be used against Brown if he were alive. - Jay Kanzler
I've already said that while I too am waiting for the evidence to come out, I cannot help but lean towards believing the officer's account of the shooting, as it was relayed by a source. Primarily, this is due to my feeling that it is the more logical and likely of the scenarios. However, I am not a person prone to myopia and would, if the evidence proves to show a different story, find myself swayed in a different direction. But thanks for playing!

Actually I want the outcome of justice If Wilson was beaten and IF Brown turned around and
starting towards him again to continue to beat him, THEN Wilson would have every right to blow him away.
I am not going to join a riot if Wilson's found innocent....
But as I see it today, things are not going in Mr. Wilson's favor.
As far as police intimidation, that is not a conspiracy. That stuff happens. I gave the
Troy Davis case as an example. Johnson is smart to have folks around him.
If I was him, I'd move out of Ferguson all together.
Washington Post column after the Brown shooting contained a personal and poignant account of his mother’s lessons to him as a young black man:
How I shouldn’t run in public, lest I arouse undue suspicion. How I most definitely should not run with anything in my hands, lest anyone think I stole something. The lesson included not talking back to the police, lest you give them a reason to take you to jail—or worse.
And I was taught to never, ever leave home without identification.
Your poor grammar aside, I've already said that while I too am waiting for the evidence to come out, I cannot help but lean towards believing the officer's account of the shooting, as it was relayed by a source.

Officer Wilson has a large incentive to shape the story he tells. He has also had several days and access to lawyers to develop a story that is logical.
Hopefully the forensic evidence will be sufficient to allow us the understand the facts.
