When the Ferguson police department released the name of Darren Wilson, they also chose to release video footage which they claimed was of Michael Brown robbing a convenience store for some cigars.
The problem is, the video shows Michael Brown at the register, paying for the cigars.
You sure he wasn't robbing the place? I didn't see anybody paying for anything. And in another video it shows the clerk trying to stop them from leaving and walks out after them etc.
Another shooting ~4 miles from ferguson.....guy with a knife trying to steal some energy drinks.
Whatever words were exchanged between the man in the video and the store owner, they were not considered very serious, as the store owner nor the employees did not report a theft at the store. According to the stores attorney, the owners were bewildered when the police approached them demanding the surveillance tapes.
The store owners are now afraid of themselves becoming a target, due to the Ferguson PD’s attempt to tie their store to the fateful shooting.
yes, b/c when i pay for something i reach over the counter and hand it off to my friend behind me, while my other friend is "allowed" to put items in his pocket, then i'll pay again by reaching over the counter and then i'll reach over the counter again and grab my paid for items with enough force that they fall down and drop on floor, then i'll offer some of my bought stuff to a random customer and just walk off without a bag, cuz i care about the environment.
rule 1 of being a store clerk, never let anyone reach over anything, b/c then they're stealing.
rule 2 if they steal, fck it, no use reporting it to the crappy police anyway, cuz then you have to write up reports and shiz.
