Oops, full footage of store-cam shows that Michael Brown paid for the cigarettes... [View all] DetlefK Aug 2014 OP

I'm sure it will hit the major networks any moment now... Hooked_n_Looped Aug 2014 #1

Hey there Hooked_n_Looped ... In_The_Wind Aug 2014 #15

Does it matter? Is stealing cigarillos or whatever they were merrily Aug 2014 #2

Paid? Where does this video show him paying? LisaL Aug 2014 #6

Maybe ask the OP. I am the one who said it didn't matter if he paid or not. merrily Aug 2014 #8

Well, I did. LisaL Aug 2014 #16

How long ago did you ask the OP? merrily Aug 2014 #19

From the beginning it looked like he paid, returning what he hadn't paid for, as did his friend. sabrina 1 Aug 2014 #89

No matter what, the police should not have released video. merrily Aug 2014 #91

Sabrina, could you -or anyone- who has good quality sound on their computer, please PotatoChip Aug 2014 #105

He is standing at the checkout counter - what is he doing there? You do not shoplift and then go jwirr Aug 2014 #78

Good point, but maybe have that convo with LisaL and hexola. merrily Aug 2014 #80

Oh I agree with you on that. He is dead - that fact cannot be changed. And it is also not relevant jwirr Aug 2014 #81

Yet, some people, even at DU, seem to want to press home that he did steal. merrily Aug 2014 #83

I think some are seeing it as some kind of justification for the shooting - they are wrong. jwirr Aug 2014 #85

Either seeing it that way or hoping they can make someone else see it that way. merrily Aug 2014 #87

It matters to the parents whose son is being demonized. jwirr Aug 2014 #77

Of course it does. That is why no one should have released the video in the first place. merrily Aug 2014 #97

It matters to his reputation demigoddess Aug 2014 #94

Of course. Please see my replies 91 and 97. merrily Aug 2014 #98

Nonsense using this video determine theft... hexola Aug 2014 #3

The store owner has claimed that he never reported a theft. merrily Aug 2014 #9

Because customer was the one who called 911. LisaL Aug 2014 #10

Again maybe you should address that to the poster who said we have to hear from the store owner, merrily Aug 2014 #22

which is a world of difference from "he didn't steal anything..." hexola Aug 2014 #11

It was reported. By a customer. LisaL Aug 2014 #12

According to police, it was called in at 11:51... BklnDem75 Aug 2014 #26

What did the customer call it? hexola Aug 2014 #28

Are you surprised customer isn't giving interviews? LisaL Aug 2014 #30

According to the police report... BklnDem75 Aug 2014 #38

Is it common practice in Police reports to refer to black males as "B/M"s? hexola Aug 2014 #41

Yes, it is. BM, WM, WF, BF, etc. Nay Aug 2014 #47

I wish they would do those redactions so you can keep the characters straight. hexola Aug 2014 #45

I assumed nothing. YOU are the one who said we had to hear from the store owner. merrily Aug 2014 #31

We should always assume "guilty" first. JoePhilly Aug 2014 #34

They claimed they never called 911 but cleduc Aug 2014 #40

Okay so why didn't the store owner call police to report a theft? Rex Aug 2014 #51

store may not call the police for every theft Travis_0004 Aug 2014 #72

Or there was no theft and that is why the store owner did not call. Rex Aug 2014 #74

Dorian Johnson admitted it was a theft. Travis_0004 Aug 2014 #90

That's nice, but Brown didn't get a chance to. Rex Aug 2014 #95

That's the biggest reach I've seen on this topic yet... Hooked_n_Looped Aug 2014 #99

Not at all, where is the crime report? Rex Aug 2014 #100

When I'm talking about reaching I was referring to the idea that Brown Hooked_n_Looped Aug 2014 #108

I didn't say that at all, you just misunderstood me obviously. Rex Aug 2014 #110

You obviously believe what you choose to believe... Hooked_n_Looped Aug 2014 #112

No you just want to frame him for something he didn't do Rex Aug 2014 #113

This has to be placed here JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #4

Thanks for your agreement, Gen, but it should not matter how merrily Aug 2014 #17

Believe you me... ReRe Aug 2014 #18

What's interesting is that JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #53

An employee? ReRe Aug 2014 #71

P.S. Look at the rest of this thread so far. merrily Aug 2014 #35

Because we all AGREE his rights were viloated...that's not up for debate! hexola Aug 2014 #39

It is not up for debate? Really? Because it's been debated since he got shot. merrily Aug 2014 #44

I hope so too JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #48

Geez, JGen wish it was nobody, not that it was you. merrily Aug 2014 #52

That does make me laugh! JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #55

Is that really what you want, though? merrily Aug 2014 #63

But - I married at 39 JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #84

All the more reason. You did not rush into marriage before you merrily Aug 2014 #86

While this is irrelevant to MB being shot and killed, since it was posted I would add that the last Dustlawyer Aug 2014 #46

How does it show him paying for anything? LisaL Aug 2014 #5

You a cop? blkmusclmachine Aug 2014 #42

None of your bisness. LisaL Aug 2014 #43

Sure it is! Motive! nt Logical Aug 2014 #88

Ha ha ha!!! SaltyBro Aug 2014 #7

The store owner never reported a theft procon Aug 2014 #13

The customer did. LisaL Aug 2014 #14

How you know what the customer saw? The theft...the scuffle? hexola Aug 2014 #24

And you do? LisaL Aug 2014 #25

The point is the video shows nothing conclusive about a pay transaction hexola Aug 2014 #32

I personally don't see the video showing any paid transaction by LisaL Aug 2014 #33

Yes, but what did the customer actually report? procon Aug 2014 #27

This is what I want to know. Quayblue Aug 2014 #73

The store owner would be the victim, who would have to press charges. JoePhilly Aug 2014 #37

Somebody at the store told the police they were willing to press charges alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #20

I doubt it. HooptieWagon Aug 2014 #54

I appreciate your annotation, but it begs a further comment (I think). Somebody VanGoghRocks Aug 2014 #56

No, been busy alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #58

Because, yeah, Mike Brown did not deserve to be shot for stealing cigars under VanGoghRocks Aug 2014 #59

I f I was 18 and just stole something and a cop pulls up on me alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #62

More to the point, were I a federal DoJ investigator in town, I'd be VanGoghRocks Aug 2014 #69

Well, would you walk in the middle of the street? LisaL Aug 2014 #70

Yes, it's odd...it doesn't display a consciousness of guilt for the most part alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #76

During an interview his friend azmom Aug 2014 #107

I'm not convinced Wilson ever heard that call at all alcibiades_mystery Aug 2014 #109

The story that he did hear the call was recanted later by the FPD CoP. Rex Aug 2014 #111

Good point. merrily Aug 2014 #82

All though it doesn't matter if he stole cigars or not... ybbor Aug 2014 #21

Your line 3 is the important one. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Aug 2014 #29

I agree. Hard to stay focused on what really matters. IsItJustMe Aug 2014 #57

Dorian Johnson already admitted that they took the Cigarellos justiceischeap Aug 2014 #23

First - Johnson admitted the theft Ms. Toad Aug 2014 #36

Yes! ybbor Aug 2014 #50

Well it's good that it wasn't donuts being stolen or the pigs would have to nuke the whole town. L0oniX Aug 2014 #49

Oops! Rex Aug 2014 #60

I watched this video 4 times now and I don't see where he paid for B Calm Aug 2014 #61

I watched the video numerous times and I don't see LisaL Aug 2014 #65

I see him reaching in the counter area, what I don't see is money changing hands. WCLinolVir Aug 2014 #64

I think he is reaching for items behind the counter. LisaL Aug 2014 #67

Yeah I think so too, since he comes up with cigars in his hands. WCLinolVir Aug 2014 #75

Maybe he is pointing at what he wanted. Demit Aug 2014 #79

unbelievable - we can't believe anything from the media or the police any more samsingh Aug 2014 #66

What can you learn something from? LisaL Aug 2014 #68

I don't think LisaL's response was cold and I think your comment is uncalled for onenote Aug 2014 #104

Don't you have to be 21 to buy tobacco products? Aerows Aug 2014 #92

18 Rex Aug 2014 #96

I wondered the same thing... KansDem Aug 2014 #106

There's nothing new in this video that's been around for a week. nt ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #93

Message auto-removed Name removed Aug 2014 #101

Of course it does't matter whether he did or did not steal the cigarillos onenote Aug 2014 #103
