“Roughed up” is not a correct characterization. He pushed the storekeeper away from him, that’s all — but that’s enough to make it the “strong arm robbery” we’ve been hearing it was.

6'4", 292lb Brown grabbed a much smaller storekeeper by the neck and pushed him back by the neck. Even so, CNN failed to mention an assault even happened and erroneously characterized it as Brown just having walked out of the store w/o paying. That was a lie and the CNN anchor who said it knew it was a lie when she said it. I know this to be true because they had just shown the video. Her comment was incredibly irresponsible and could only serve to inflame passions further.
