He said he doesn’t know if Wilson was aware.
Here is a further comment from him via the St. Louis Dispatch...
Jackson said the officer was aware cigars had been taken in the robbery of a store nearby, but did not know when he encountered Brown and Dorian Johnson that they might be suspects. He stopped them because they were walking in the street, Jackson said.
But Jackson told the Post-Dispatch that the officer, Darren Wilson, saw cigars in Brown’s hand and realized he might be the robber.
No.
In the post conference Q&A the Chief clearly stated at that time that the Officer did NOT know about the robbery.
Hours later they came out with a statement that the Chief didn’t know.
Why don’t they get their story straight before calling a press conference?
