The "Josie" call. A transcript. Reading it through is very revealing.

Last edited Tue Aug 26, 2014, 05:21 PM - Edit history (1)

*Josie call:

"well, its been really really hard to keep quiet because I do know his version of the story, And um I have it. It seems like everyone only is talking about the other side and I understand that they haven't really gotten to hear this side. Um and I have been afraid to say anything I think we all are all his friends and family. . . Um but I just feel like I we need to put out there his version of events so maybe people can consider them as the truth if nothing else. So you want me to maybe run down?... Ok so he said that um.

…he said "come on guys, get out of the street", um they refused to and were yelling back they were almost where they were going and there was some cussing involved. and then he just kept rolling up and then pulled over, and I believe at that point he called for back up but am not certain of this, I know he pulled up ahead of them and was watching them and then he gets the call in that there was a strong arm robbery and they give the description and he's looking at them and they have something in their hands that looks like it could be like those cigars or whatever. So he goes in reverse after them, opens his door and they slam the door shut on him violently. I think he said Michael did this, and then he opens his car door again and tries to stand up but then Michael just bum rushes him and shoves him back into the car. Punches him in the face and then of course Darren then grabs for his gun. Michael grabs his gun and at one point he (Mike) totally had the gun pointed against his (Wilson's) hip. and Dar.. you know, shoves it away and the gun goes off. So then Michael runs off with his friend, they get to be about 35 feet away and then of course protocol is to pursue. And so he stands up and shouts freeze and then Michael and his friend turn around. And then Michael and his friend start taunting him and say "aww, what are you going to do about it? you're not going to shoot me." and then all of a sudden he (Michael) just started to bum-rush him. he just started coming at him full speed and so he just started shooting and he (Michael) just kept coming. So he (Wilson) thinks he (Mike) was on something. because he just kept coming and it was unbelievable. and then so he finally ended up the final shot was in the forehead and then he fell about two or three feet in front of the officer.

"So that's why the stories are going around that oh he's got a (inaudible) people call you with a shot to his head um of course ballistics will prove that he wasn't shot in the back like the other people are saying (inaudible)"
"but um that's his version of what happened."

When asked how she came by this information: She replies, "Um with his, significant other (inaubible) it was before it was such a huge, you know…it was Sunday night before the riots. So you know it was when they were still on facebook everyone was still talking you know it was kinda still an open discussion at that point. I of course had no idea it would turn into this."
She then states that "they (Wilson family) have not been in contact with anyone since Tuesday.


*This was typed directly from the recording posted by The Dana Show.
Maybe people can discern what I deemed "inaudible".

An. Ongoing. Investigation. Discussed. On. Facebook.

By the FRIENDS AND FAMILY of one of the police officers who got the story from the Police Officer.

If this was true, why hasn't this guy been fired?

And the media did not figure this "might not be credible"?

Now I want to know if anyone has gone after the Facebook records!!!

The stupid just keeps getting stronger....

"Dana Loesch hosts her award-winning, #1 rated, daily nationally syndicated radio show, The Dana Show: The Conservative Alternative from her flagship station FM NewsTalk 97.1 as well as hosting a weekly TV show on Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze network." from her site.

and yet this call is fueling most of the narrative as to what happened from the officer's perspective.

spying on everyone BUT criminals.

Second thing she didn't get from the Police Chief. The cop did not know about the supposed robbery, according to the Police Chief so that whole part of the story makes no sense, unless everyone else is lying.

Not to mention that no witness has come forward to say they were 'taunting' the police'.

Sounds like a fraud who wanted a few minutes of fame and just made stuff up and the media chose to put it out there without having a clue who this is.

there are so many odd statements, revealing usage of certain words and unique "knowledge" she claims to have.

-I cannot believe that family members were discussing this on facebook and if they were where are the captures of these discussions?
-I cannot believe that a family friend would put herself out there and interject herself into the story. She is either a plant or incredibly stupid.
-He said, "come on guys get out of the street". hahahahaha... yes indeed I do believe that was exactly what he said.
-I believe he called for back up, he gets a call about a "strong-arm" robbery, in their hands looks like those cigars or whatever. Yeah, nice set of actions that completely contradicts the speed at which the eyewitnesses describe the events as unfolding.
-then they slam the door violently on him. Then Wilson opens the door and tries to stand up (a total contradiction of the eyewitness version of more than 5 people now) Then Brown bum-rushes Wilson. Geeze these kids really want to get into a fight with this guy.
-Then they run away but stop when he shouts freeze! Hahaha... Makes perfect sense now doesn't it?
-Then they start taunting Wilson. Oh boy! See how ridiculous this story is?
-She said she had no idea on Sunday night that it would turn into such a huge deal! Seriously? The whole account is messed up.

I wonder who "we" are in that sentence. Also, "can consider them as truth" doesn't sound too confident.

Just today, 19 days after the shooting and 13 since the Josie call, I read an article that quoted from her version as if it was God's truth. I really think that this phone call needs to be shown for what it is -a propaganda attempt to direct the narrative in favor of the officer. But the general media seemed to glaze over it either feeling it had some credibility, which it doesn't, or deeming it to be of low importance.
Watch and see if you don't hear her story quoted without reference over the next days and weeks and months ahead.
