I still want to know how Wilson passed Brown without knowing about the robbery and suspect description and then found out about it. In order to fit the timeline we know about from the police reports, Wilson had to have been looking at dispatch information on his laptop because he couldn’t have heard the radio call after he’d already passed Brown.

He couldn’t have unless time runs backwards.

The PC was quite clear that the robbery had nothing to do with the shooting and he had no suspicion that Brown might be the suspect when he stopped him.

That is the most likely scenario. Is there a problem with that? Remember, that this isn't his testimony, so minor errors may just be miscommunication between an officer, and someone not very familiar with procedure. He pulls ahead, feels they are behaving suspiciously, checks his laptop, and returns. Depending upon how that was worded to the friend, it could have just as easily been misunderstood as "received a call-in". In other words, Wilson may have said something relatively ambiguous like "... and then I learned about the robbery", which the friend interpreted to mean "and then I got a call-in about the robbery". I just don't see a big problem here.
