August 15, 2014 18:11 GMT

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) -- The friend who was with Michael Brown when he was shot and killed by a police officer near St. Louis over the weekend is reportedly confirming that he and Brown had taken part in the theft of cigars from a convenience store that day.

That word comes from the attorney for Dorian Johnson, speaking to MSNBC. Police in Ferguson had earlier announced that Brown was suspected of taking cigars from the convenience store in what was described as a "strong-arm robbery.

Hope they have that convenience store guarded tonight.

From the presser of the lawyer apparently the family expects more video and information to come out about their sons background.

“Travel and living expenses while they seek justice”? Lolololol. They need to hurry and trademark his name while they’re at it.

There’s nothing left to guard. It’s also my understanding that insurance won’t cover this either, just like it wouldn’t cover property destroyed in wartime.

But let’s hear some more about those “food deserts” and the rayciss who cause them.

It is problematic for the police officer who shot Brown that he was not aware of the robbery at the time he shot Brown.

No events have been cited for the shooting that justify shooting.

....."Michael Brown Memorial Fund".....

This is playing out exactly as we said that it would......they'll be 'funding' this for a while right into the coffers of the attorneys and family....looks like Crumps got his...next!

The store is question was destroyed????

Hmmm, wonder why THAT store was taken out.

And another one I read,”He quit the high school football team before the first game because he didn’t want to hit anyone.”

Sounds like they borrowed the personality of "Big Mike" from "The Blindside". Good grief.

Here's Browns partner in crime...check out the neck tattoos...he looks like he's covered...anybody know what gang these are or if they are?

The dynamic duo. I wonder how many other robberies or shoplifting excursions they’ve gone on, that they didn’t get bagged for. I doubt this was their first time.

[LiveFree99]

Yes, very good point about borrowing from a Hollyweird film.

If the "gentle giant" ever was on the team, it was much more likely he quit because it required a certain amount of work and discipline he wasn't willing to give.

"If you see the stills from the store video, Brown was doing more than threatening the owner/employee. He put his hands on him."

And that's assault.

"Well, it’s just some cigars, I guess it’s not that bad."

[maggief]

Yeah, Attorney Gray implied more was to come out.

Another interesting photo...what are the hand jesters seen so much in several of the photos? the two behind him look like his boys maybe? or just Knit and Pearl

[mass55th]

They probably told him if he cooperated, that he wouldn’t be charged.
