There were two separate officers. This robbery does not relate to the initial contact between the officer and Michael Brown. The initial can tact between the officer and mr. Brown was not related to the robbery. Why did he stop Michael Brown . Because they were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic. That was it. Having said that, chief jackson then gave the local paper and me yet another version. The officer he said actually did know about the robbery but was not aware that Michael Brown was a suspect, that is, not until he might have seen the cigarettes in browns hands. As you might imagine, neither the changing story nor decision to release the video is winning many friends here. Youll hear from the brown family tonight, from dorian johns johnsons attorney and more Surveillance Video from randi kaye. Reporter ferguson market and liquor saturday morning, what youre about to see is what police call a strongArmed Robbery. They say thats Michael Brown entering the store. White tshirt, long tan shorts and a red cardinals baseball hat. His friend Dorian Johnson right behind him. Its 11 52 a. M. And 58 corrects according to the Police Incident report. The surveillance camera shows four seconds later, brown is at the counter. Watch closely. See the store employee in the red shirt apparently coming from the restroom . She goes behind the counter. Just 12 seconds later, police say brown reaches for a box of swisher sweet cigars and hands them to johnson without paying for them. What happens next is a bit obscured by a display case but watch closely here. Police say there is some sort of confrontation involving brown, a struggle. Police say brown grabbed more cigars, he had been in the store now just 32 seconds. Seven seconds later, browns friend johnson puts the box of cigars brown handed him back on the counter returning them but brown just seconds later bends down to pick up some cigars he dropped and even looks a customer in the eye and then makes his way to the door. At the door, about ten seconds later, a store employee who appears to have a set of keys in his hand attempts to put himself between the man believed to be brown and the exit door. Still holding the cigars in his right hand, the man police say is brown grabs the clerk with his left hand and clearly shoves him back into a display rack. It all might have ended there, but take a look at what happens next, just about one minute into this. Police say instead of leaving right away, brown turns back one final time advancing on the store employee who tried to stop him. Towering over him, police say it was an attempt to intimidate the employee who quickly backs down. Only then does brown turn and exit at 11 54 a. M. Hes in and out of the store in one minute and two seconds, about ten minutes later, hes dead. Randi kaye, cnn, new york. All right. Randi, thank you very much. The releasing of the videotape driving protesters back to the stop, the qt, quick trip market. Some are having to stand under the over hang where people are usually pumping gas. People were upset by the releasing of the video. Were you upset by it . A little bit but i believe the truth will come out at the end and excuses are for people who make them and accept them. We as a community were not acre ceme accepting any evidence. If we are not easily accessible to it, we have a problem. Is it that much distrust for Law Enforcement . Right now yes. How i see it, if that were the case he commit add robbery, they would have had that on the 4 00 news, the 10 00 news that evening, the early news the next morning. They wouldnt have wait add week later to delegate or free their officer or give his name. They had to put together the pictures. They had to post together the video footage, made sure it was grainy so we couldnt see so we know the truth. Thank you very much. Im going to show the viewers around here because again, tonight here on the street, lets walk this way. Tonight here on the street protesters are gathering even within the rain. It put a little damper on it but really not much. As you can see, its backed up for miles as it has been every night. Tonight not quite as busy as it has been on other nights. The good thing is is that tonight it has been peaceful as it was last night, as well. Earlier i spoke with eric davis. Hes the cousin of Michael Brown and he talked about the release of that video and how his family is dealing with it on this day. Eric, thank you for joining us. Can i first get your reaction to the release of the videotape today . The release of the videotape put anger inside of me and my family because we feel its a distraction to get people turned away from what is going on and what happened. Its not about what happened at a Convenience Store. Its about what happened on canfeld when michael was executed by an officer on the ground with his hands in the air asking the officer not to shoot surrendering completely. Ben crump, the family attorney released a statement saying it is character assassination and essentially blaming the victim. What do you say to that . I agree. It is character assassination. We have not been happy with the investigation as it has been conducted by the Ferguson Police department. What do you think is going on to release it on the same day . What i think is going on as i stated, its an attempt to smear michaels character to get your eyes off what is really going on and focus on something else. Were not going to lose our focus. Well ask people continue to come out and peacefully protest. Well ask people to remember that this is not about what happened at a Convenience Store but more what happened when michael was executed. You dont think they have anything to do with each other . I do not. How do you think the community will react in response to this tape because now there is even more suspicion around the actions of Police Officers. I think that what happened with the chief releasing this tape at the same time as he released the name of the officer is just inciting the crowd and making everyone angry and fueled the distrust already out there for the Ferguson Police department. I think he just basically added fuel to the fire. Thats why were coming out asking the public, please come out and continue to protest but we do not want any violence to occur. Do not let them distract us from what our ultimate goal is and that is to get justice for Michael Brown. How is the mother doing . How did the mother react to this . Shes completely distraught because it has been very hard for leslie to raise michael in a neighborhood like we grew up in. I dont know if you understand but being a black male in a come mo community with high crime rates, its hard to keep your child away from those outside influences. None of us are latched to our kids 24 hours a day. They have to go out there and stand up for themselves and its been a very difficult task for her to get michael to even get to the point where hes graduating from high school. If you look at the Graduation Rates of African American males in that area, its not very high. What michael had just achieved was a great accomplishment for him. What do you think happens after this . Listen, the portrayal as ive said, michael has been a gentle giant, a kid never in trouble and never done anything and then for this video tape to come out on the same day, you say its character assassination. The country is watching and saying well, there he is, its him on the videotape. He did something, so what is the big issue here . The issue is its not what this case is about. Its not about what happened at a Convenience Store. Again, its what happened on canfield drive when my cousin had his hands up in the air, knees down on the ground asking the officer whose supposed to protect him not to shoot him. The officer didnt listen. The officer didnt respect that he had basically surrendered and he executed my cousin. What do you say to the chief . To the chief, i would like to say why didnt we release photos of the officer . We didnt have photos of the officer released today, why didnt we release any other information about the officer besides his name . Why dont we know how many times my cousin was shot . Why dont we know any details what happened on canfield . Thats what this case is about. Thank you. Thank you, best of luck with your family. Thank you very much. Just ahead, Michael Browns friend dorian, how his story evolved since we spoke this week. What he didnt say then and what his attorney is saying now. Uh, hi. Im here to drop off my resume. Password .

Welcome back to 360. Just a moment ago the fbi put out a late update on their end of the investigation and ill read from the meat of it. It says we can confirm that fbi agents working together with attorneys from the justice deputys Civil Rights Division and u. S. Attorneys office have already conducted several interviews of witnesses on the scene at the time of the shooting. Over the next several days, teams of fbi agents will be canvassing the neighborhood where the shooting took place to identify any individuals who may have information related to the shooting and have not yet come forward. And so again, tonight, were talking about changes in the narrative today and to some degree witness credibility. Dorian johnson we spoke to. Standing so close to big mike and the officer, i look in his window and see him and when he fired his weapon, i moved second s before he pulled the trigger. I saw the fire come out the barrel and i instantly knew that it was a gun. I looked at my friend big mike and i saw that he was struck in the chest or upper region because i saw blood spatter down his side, his right area and at that time we both took off running. That was Dorian Johnson on tuesday. That was the lawmakers in washington like to say revised and extended today by dorians lawyer freeman bosly. We spoke earlier. What is your clients reaction. Hes relieved. We need to make clear, several days ago, we met with the fbi, justice department, representatives of the Prosecutors Office and we laid all of this out to them. We met with them for over three hours. My client Dorian Johnson started from the beginning from when they woke up that morning, told them they went to the store, laid out for them the situation involving big make taking the cigarettes. This is not a theft. Its more of a shoplifting situation, but my client is relieved because he already knew they had done this. Theft and shoplifting is the same thing. Not robbery, robbery, its a difference. They are saying its a strongArmed Robbery. Were concerned about that label and concerned about the fact the chief continues to use that label. Its for of a shoplifting tape situation. Hes saying robbery because he wants people to think there is violence. Did you know they would release it today . No, lets talk about that. Did you know the governor came in and relieved ferguson of his duty of being the Police Department here . Did you know the governor release the st. Louis county of its duty of providing security. They like a bunch of kids acting up. They are mad so the chief decided to throw a hand grenade and laid this out and had to come back and add hit the stuff on the tape that the officer that had the confrontation didnt even know about the situation that happened in the store. So your client admits it was him and mike in the store . Yeah, he did. And he doid so from the beginning . He did with the fbi as well as the u. S. Attorneys office. On this program, your client was interviewed on this very program. Yes. And did not mention anything about a robbery, nothing about a qt, nothing at all. He mentioned a confrontation with police on canfield drive. Thats correct. It had nothing to do with the incident that occurred the officer didnt know they robbed let me take that back. The officer didnt know they had gone into the store and taken some cigarettes. He didnt know it. Isnt there a certain deception of omission. If someone asked you what happened leading up to this incident and you dont tell them, the interviewer on this program. Not lying is when you Say Something thats not true. Nobody asked him what did youall do before you came in contact with the officer . If you asked, we would tell you. We had the duty to tell that to the fbi and they got the full story. The authorities had the full story and got it two or three days before this came out. Was there any sort of deal made that your client would not be prosecuted or not be charged because they are saying we got the information today he would not be charged . There a deal made . When we had the meeting with the fbi, they said listen, we just want you to know that everything youre getting ready to tell us, we got all the information we wanted to know. The fbi and authorities knew about this incident. Was there a deal . At that time they said basted on what we know, you are not charged with any crime. You have not done anything wrong. Do you understand how people will say Michael Brown is not here to defend themself . According to your client, hes saying i dont steal, i dont do this, does it seem like do you understand it may seem like hes placing the blame on someone who is here who is not here to defend themselfs . Hes not placing any blame at all. It appears the media and chief attempting to place the blame. Youre saying big mike, that Michael Brown took the cigarettes, put them in the bag, your client put them back and said i dont do this. Im not saying the video says that. If you say the video, the video says that. Those arent my words. Those are your clients words. In audition to the pictures and the pictures verify what it is my client said. What happens next with your client . Have you spoken to anyone where the investigation goes, fbi . The next step is probably this case will be presented to a federal grand jury and hopefully well have an indictment. How is your client doing . Why cant we ask for an interview . My client is a federal witness at this point and as indication he should not be talking about a whole lot of other things. For the purposes of information and being able to be a credible witness, were not making any more statements at this point. Thank you. Thank you, appreciate it. Thanks, now. Dorian johnsons attorney and up next here on 360 some of the festive atmosphere around us, there is also this, anger in ferguson over the local police deputys release of the store Surveillance Video. Well hear from the police chief on why he made the decision to make it public today. Its time to bring it out in the open. Its time to drop your pants for underwareness, a cause to support the over 65 Million People who may need depend underwear. Show them theyre not alone and show off a pair of depend. Because wearing a different kind of underwear, is no big deal. Join us. Support the cause and get a free sample of depend at underwareness. Com the release of the Surveillance Video by police sparked outrage especially from Michael Browns parents. Through an attorney today, they called it a move aimed at assassinating their sons character. Thomas jackson is the chief of the Ferguson Police department and i spoke with him earlier. So there have been a lot of questions about the releasing of the video and the releasing of the offices name where it appears they are not connected but by doing so youre connecting them. Can you say beyond a shadow of a doubt that is Michael Brown who pushes the clerk and steals the cigarettes . I dont think i ever did say that was anyone. I said i was getting questions from the media about a robbery that occurred prior to the shooting. I wasnt commenting on that robbery and then i started getting freedom of information requests from various news outlets ask we sat on it as long as we could and reached the point where we had to release it. I felt it would be prudent if i was releasing that, it could be antiinflammatory if inflamato if i released that and not the video. Some are saying youre trying to discredit him, trying to soil his representation and trying to divert attention. Were not. We just tried to sit on this thing as long as we could. I didnt want to release it. I was told by my City Attorney that she was concerned that people were going to start filing lawsuits about it the if we didnt release the tape. Ill quote the family. Th
