Gunfire Erupts in Ferguson after New Michael Brown Footage Broadcast
Brown is no where near Ferguson Market and Liquor Store.
Gunshots erupted outside the Ferguson Market in Missouri, where protesters gathered Sunday after the apparent discovery of surveillance footage of cop shooting victim Michael Brown.
In his new documentary “Stranger Fruit”, filmmaker Jason Pollock has included previously unreleased footage taken from a surveillance camera in the store Brown visited on August 9, 2014, the day he was killed by officer Darren Wilson.
Now CNN can not confirm the video’s authenticity. “And this, newly released surveillance video shows him inside the Ferguson Market and Liquor Store, the place he’d be accused of robbing eleven hours later”. But before leaving the store, Brown gave the cigarillos back to the store clerks, who placed them behind the counter, according to the clip. Brown walks away with the cigarillos before the video shows him coming back and giving them to the employees for what Pollock says is safekeeping.
Never-before-seen footage released in a new documentary on the shooting seems to suggest the 18-year-old did not rob the convenience store but rather was involved in some sort of drug deal with staff their.
Brown was fatally shot during a confrontation with a Ferguson police officer just after that second visit to the store.

Wilson fatally shot Brown after Brown exited the store. Other witnesses say Brown had his hands up in a gesture of surrender to Wilson. The blood spatter evidence from that wound is one of the key pieces of physical evidence that supported what happened next.
Then Brown takes a small sack with cigarillos.
According to reports, Brown eventually stopped and turned toward the former officer with his hands in the air. However, he maintained in the later encounter, that Brown “grabbed the cigarillos and stole them”. Amid the struggle, the gun fired twice and the teen was subsequently shot in the hand. The following year, a Justice Department investigation concluded there wasn’t enough evidence to charge Wilson with a civil rights violation.
Mike Brown was no victim. “Mike did not rob the store”. Even the robbery call itself it irrelevant.
Wilson, who claimed that he had been assaulted by Mr. No mention of the fact that the gun discharged, wounding Brown, while Wilson was still sitting in the squad auto.
