What an odd reply to your spewing of crap.
Do you think it's a coincidence that the person calling in happened to be named "Josie"?

What? LOL!
I think it was the spouse. She knew alot about the exact story without hesitating. When I hear stories from another person who heard it from another person, some details get lost. She seemed very sure about the events and what happened. Not saying everyone is like me, but like a game of telephone alot of times things can get mixed up here and there.
Seven seconds in...
It says "Josie" on my call screener".
OMG the people in this forum sink to depths I never would have thought. I never thought someone would call a radio station pretending they know someone in the media just to prove their point on the internet but hey. Good work "Josie".:lamo
You included me into your delusion. You were either baiting or just being a jerk.Do you think it's a coincidence that the person calling in happened to be named "Josie"?
It can be hard to keep a story straight when it's being made up at the top of a person's head. Take this gem that you pointed out...Stop acting stupid. I didn't even realize she said her name was Josie. I'm going to guess that it's a fake name.
When she said who she heard all of this from, she fumbled a bit and ended up saying "significant other". I have a feeling it's the officer's wife/girlfriend or maybe a sister. Someone very close, though.
Thanks for posting this.
We recently had a case here locally where a man who was trying to cash a bad check at a bank was stopped by a plain clothes cop and took off running. The cop chased him for a long distance [even commandeering a car] then eventually became involved in a scuffle with the individual where the officers gun went off, killing the perp.
The city decided it was best to give the family $1.25 million before the trial of the officer ever began, pretty much sealing his fate.
This and the local decision are perfect examples of knee-jerk reactions before the facts are known.

If I'm making up a story I probably wouldn't want to connect it to anyone either. Of course she had her story straight: there's no evidence to contradict it just yet...but there's already cracks in it...Sounds to me like she had her story very straight. She just didn't want to give too much information about who she heard it from.
This is also why we should just start requiring cops to wear cameras as part of the uniform. If we can record these situations, it would go a long way into stopping the knee jerk reactions and allow us to properly assess the situation. If course it wouldn't be a 100% guarantee, but it would likely go quite far into clearing many these things up.
That's a swell idea. Then cops could just walk up and down the street taking pictures of everyone and running those pictures through facial recognition software. Then, if you show up somewhere that you generally don't go they can investigate you as a potential threat to national security.

Sister, significant other, girlfriend, forum user who crank calls radio stations...
I'm sorry, but I don't understand why the friend/significant other's calling in is a crank call.
But I do think that this has probably put Officer Wilson in some hot water with his bosses, and it surely doesn't help him.
Totally off topic, but Dana is a smokin hot babe... oh ya!... carry on

A third party calling into a radio station is not the other side's story. The other side is the officer's testimony.
I mean it could be. The reason why I do not put a lot of stock into what the friend says has nothing to do with her or the officer's credibility, but rather it is hearsay and is pretty unreliable because details can be lost in hearing the story or things could be changed in order to get a certain point of view across.
The 'eyewitness testimony' cited in this thread should be conclusive. According to the guy that says he was there, the officer fired from inside the car, hit him in the head, and then when Brown was on his knees with his hands up, the officer shot him 4-5 more times at point blank range. In the back.
If ballistics show that it should be obvious. If not...'eyewitness testimony' wont mean **** in this case.
