I think that it is all true except the part about the cigars. I don’t think that there was enough time for the APB to go out .
What I heard was that the two were waking down the middle of the street, forcing cars to go around them, the officer pulls up next to them and tells them to get on the side walk. Brown smart mouths him a bit and ignores the instruction to get on the sidewalk. The officer sees the pair still in the street and stops again. The rest is the same.
I could be wrong, we don’t know the exact timeline.
Actually, the report is that after Wilson told Brown and Johnson to get off the street, he drove on forward and received a call about the robbery. Noticing that Brown and Johnson met the description of the robbers, he then backed and tried to get out of his car and Brown attacked.
How long do you think it takes for a robbery victim to call 911 which then calls out an APB?
- Store door slams shut as perps leave
- Clerk runs back to phone
- Dials 911
- Clerk: “I was just robbed at address 123 Foobar St, two guys of description XYZ stole some cigars, threatened to beat me, and just left.”
- Operator: “Just a moment.”
- Operator: “APB, BOLO for two males of description XYZ near 123 Foobar St, suspected violent robbery.”
Perps get little more than one block in that time.
Well... first there was the robbery. Store employees called police AS it was occurring. The dispatcher put it on the air and an officer RESPONDED. He went to the Liquor Store and got their statements. The victim(owner) was outside and told the officer that the two perps went walking off 'that way toward the QT Gas Station'.
The officer gave the description to the dispatcher, and the dispatcher immediately put it out on the air as a BOLO.
The officer then went to QT and searched for the two, but couldn't find them.
After that, the officer responded to the DISPATCHER reporting that there had been a shooting involving the suspects. He responded to the scene to ID them. He said they matched the description.
So... the question would be how long was it between the time the officer gave the description to the dispatcher and when Officer Wilson came into contact with Brown and Johnson ?
How could there not have been time for it to go out if he heard it ?
Do you know how far the QT and Liquor Store are from the street in front of the apartment complex where Brown was living with GRANDMA was ?
