I seriously doubt those "backup" calls ever happened.  To prove his claim, Officer Wilson's attorney should have subpoenaed the dispatcher's recordings of those calls.  

Otherwise, all they/we have is Officer Wilson's claim, similar to . . .

Now, tell me . . .

Does Officer Wilson look like he has suffered "two [punches] to the face" from Brown (3-4 inches taller and 50-60 pounds heavier than Officer Wilson)?



(Not even a blemish)

--------------------------------------

For this, Wilson shot and killed (unarmed) Brown.

Any time, Mr. Rumelhart.

I did not expect them to indict for a racially related charge, and that shouldn't have been on the list of possible offenses. There were other charges for which they could have indicted without adding that element.

What  is the history of institutional racism in the U.S.  Do you admit that white privilege exists?  Have you ever experienced prejudicial treatment based on skin color?  I ask because these questions not to criticize but in the hope that you will reflect upon them and perhaps consider that it is likely that you have not had wide experience with the concept.  You may want to seize the opportunity to learn from others who have first-hand experience on the topic.
