If, however, Wilson did call for backup twice (as you say), WHY DIDN'T HE WAIT FOR BACKUP TO ARRIVE BEFORE HE SHOT AND KILLED (unarmed) BROWN???<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">?????????????????????????????????????????????</span></div><div><br></div><div>- I am not referring to "backup", Mr. Dredge. I am suggesting that Officer Wilson should have contacted another police unit in the area and passed Brown's description and direction to them, ultimately leading to Brown's capture, NOT DEATH !</div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps, if Officer Wilson had done as I suggested above, there is a 99% chance that (unarmed) Brown would still be alive.</div><div><br></div><div>As I have stated before . . . My father was a police officer for the Los Angeles Police Department for 36 years.
