In other words, the ‘heavily edited’ video released yesterday trying to claim he didn’t rob the store, that he was entitled to the cigarillos as the back end of a drug deal, was false.

Hours after a protest which ended with shots being fired, St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch released unedited footage from Ferguson Market and Liquor. The video shows the moments before Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer August 9, 2014.
The surveillance video can be seen above in its entirety, courtesy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The 17-minute video is part one of five parts. Click here to view parts two, three, four and five.
The footage from Ferguson Market appears to show that there was no deal that was made at the store in the hours before a scuffle ensued when Brown came back for cigarillos.
The “unedited” video was released March 13 because McCulloch and the owners of Ferguson Market were responding to new footage by documentary film maker Jason Pollock.
