Mr Johnson will not be charged.
One reporter just asked an interesting question:
By releasing this information about the robbery you the PC have now put the store and its owner in jeopardy.
Since it had no bearing on the shooting at the apartment complex then why did you do it???
They are exonerating the police by putting a citizen at risk and yet now admitting that the stopping of Mr Brown had nothing to do with the robbery.
He was only stopped because he was in the middle of the street.
Right from the mouth of the Chief of Police from Ferguson himself.
Hard to argue that the police are covering something up when they release info that might jeapordize their 'case'.
Just to clarify, it wasn't JUST because he was in the middle of the street.
It was his refusal to get out of the street (along with some colorful language) that led to the officer backing up, which led to Mike slamming the door shut as the officer tried to get out, which led to the officer allegedly yelling, "I'm gonna kill you"(according to the witness, anyway), which led to Mike punching the officer in the face, which led to the struggle for the gun.
