Michael Brown Did Rob The Convenience Store – Even His Friend Who Was With Him Said So

Phelim McAleer

THE CLAIM in a new documentary that Michael Brown did not actually rob the convenience store in Ferguson is wrong – even his friend who was with him on the day told the Grand Jury it was a robbery.

Director Jason Pollock alleges in the documentary Strange Fruit that the incident in the convenience store which alerted police to Brown was actually a minor drug deal, and that police had wrongly thought it was a violent robbery. These new allegations have led to rioting. But they are just plain wrong.
