So, if Michael Brown DIDN'T rob the liquor store, that means it was JUSTIFIED that he tried to overpower a police officer and take his gun to use against him?

I think it's more if they (the police) lied about the robbery, what else did they lie about?

Now the protesters can legitimately question the official story of the confrontation between Officer Wilson and Brown.

They will “DEMAND” Trump re-open the investigation and when he doesn’t it will be further proof Trump is a white supremacist.

Did the incident/s at the store even come up in the investigation or the trial? It was entirely unrelated to what happened on the street leading to his shooting.

The video recording referenced in this story was from 1am, the night before the shooting. It was also shown to the grand jury. The police didn’t lie or hide this video

They didn’t lie. The video in question was shown to the grand jury.

That would mean the cops and the store owner are lying about the robbery. No sale.

Even if this 1:00 am transaction occurred exactly as described by the film maker, the interaction with the store owner at noon was still a strongarm robbery. Full stop.

A prior criminal act -— selling illegal drugs on the part of mike brown, and theft on the part of the employee by exchanging his employer’s property for said drugs -— cannot excuse Mike Brown’s subsequent return and forcible taking of the store owner’s property.

And for what it’s worth, it’s the use of force that changed a simple misdemeanor theft (”stealing” in MO penal code) into the felony robbery. Mike Brown was a felon, and a thug. Nothing is going to change that.

And the truth won’t change the media and protester narrative.
