New Ferguson video casting doubt on 'robbery' sparks protests - BBC News

The previously unreported footage shows Brown entering the Ferguson Market and Liquor around 01:00 on the day of his death. He approaches the counter and hands over an item that appears to be a brown bag, and in exchange takes a shopping bag filled with cigars. After walking towards the door, he then turns around and returns the cigars to the counter before leaving.

Jason Pollock, the filmmaker releasing the tape as part of his documentary Stranger Fruit, says it proves that Brown had not been committing a robbery when he returned to that store around noon later in the day.

It seems to me to be a bit of a stretch to claim that the new video proves that Brown had not been committing a robbery. But it does cast the video of Brown's actions later in the day in a rather different light, raising the possibility that the bag of cigars was not simply "unpaid for merchandise'.
