Wilson never said that he came back because of a robbery report. I see this as an urban legend sort of thing put out there after the fact to help him out. It started with that woman who claims to know him and went from there. Now people are accepting it as fact when it is not. The chief had to explain why he released the robbery video and whether there was ANY connection between the video and Wilson's shooting of Brown. He says there was not, but that the media requested the video. We cannot find anyone who claims to have requested any such video. The video was put out and then the robbery call claim came out. But the chief says there was not any connection. Now somebody says Wilson 'heard' the report immediately after yelling at brown. Coincidence that all of this happens in such a way? No. The robbery call thing will not be in Wilson's report because there is no report. They are still writing it.

Yep -- what does marijuana have to do with this murder? theHandpuppet Oct 2014 #50

Exactly. He was out of range where he could harm the cop, with hands up when executed peacebird Oct 2014 #56

Because it's the first time the tox screen has been released Travelman Oct 2014 #63

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. theHandpuppet Oct 2014 #79

Who knows. Travelman Oct 2014 #87

I'll have to go back and see where I saw that. Travelman Oct 2014 #94

It would matter if the story jen63 Oct 2014 #97

Ah. I see your point. Travelman Oct 2014 #102

He's a big guy. jen63 Oct 2014 #104

I didn't say that. Travelman Oct 2014 #116

The story you're quoting from immedately above appears to be only 6 hours old, judging from KingCharlemagne Oct 2014 #117

Where did you get that marym625 Oct 2014 #140

The 911 call was relayed over the radio by dispatch Recursion Oct 2014 #164

But it has nothing to do with the stop. bravenak Oct 2014 #165

Not even Wilson is claiming the initial stop was about the robbery Recursion Oct 2014 #168

Where is the report saying he heard this on the radio and responded? bravenak Oct 2014 #171

I don't think Wilson's report has been released, has it? Recursion Oct 2014 #173

Exactly. bravenak Oct 2014 #178

Except we do know when dispatch sent the call out over the radio Recursion Oct 2014 #179

But who is the anonymous source? bravenak Oct 2014 #185

Because the post I was replying to marym625 Oct 2014 #194

It was announced over dispatch Recursion Oct 2014 #213

Can you please link it? marym625 Oct 2014 #218

I am not sure this is a reply to me marym625 Oct 2014 #220

exactly! n/t marym625 Oct 2014 #195

Erm... It was linked in the post you replied to Travelman Oct 2014 #190

And his Chief says it didn't happen marym625 Oct 2014 #196

No, again, his chief says the initial stop was not about the robbery Recursion Oct 2014 #214

Why do you keep saying I am bringing it up? marym625 Oct 2014 #221

I beg to differ marym625 Oct 2014 #128

Today's autopsy results don't say that. Travelman Oct 2014 #151

Please show where you have anything official that says the gun shoot wound could not have come from marym625 Oct 2014 #191

OK. Travelman Oct 2014 #205

You're not buying things we know to be true marym625 Oct 2014 #206
