St. Louis local news is
reporting that the Attorney for the Ferguson
store, Jake Kanzler said the the Ferguson store owner, nor any store employee called the police to report any shoplifting of cigars, but, rather, a
customer called the police.
Please notice, the I was not able to embed
the video of St. Louis local news but the video can be seen
here)
REPORTER: The owner of the store
dispute the claim that they or an employee called 911, saying a customer inside the store made the call. They also say St. Louis County issues the warrants for the hard drive of surveillance video Friday.
[emphasis added by me]
the Ferguson Market attorney said police did not see the video until after the unarmed teenager, Michael Brown, was shot dead in the street.
REPORTER: "I asked the attorney for the owner of the store how the Ferguson police ended up with the video the Police Chief released this morning, the attorney said, 'during the course of Ferguson's investigation, the police department from Ferguson, came to the store and asked for to review the tape." WOW!
St. Louis news goes on to report:
... the attorney wanted to emphasize
the 911 call did not come from the owners or an employee. WOW!
In a separate news video (embedded below) the Ferguson Market attorney also says any alleged theft of cigars had nothing to do with Michael Brown being shot to death by Ferguson police:
KANZLER: "Whatever the police are looking for on the
surveillance tape,
has nothing to do with what went on in the street." Well, well, well ... now the fact that no employee from the store, nor the store owner called 911 to report a 'theft' of cheap cigars, might explain why the DoJ did not want Ferguson Police Chief Johnson to release the tape. Add to that, the fact that even Ferguson Market attorney acknowledges the obvious, "
Whatever the police are looking for on the surveillance tape, has nothing to do with what went on in the street."
Take away: the alleged theft of the cheap cigars was so
insignificant to the Ferguson Market that they did
not even bother to call 911 about it -- yet -- the Ferguson Police Chief appears to want us to pretend that the alleged shoplifting of the cheap cigars somehow justifies Officer Darren Wilson killing the unarmed teenager who they claim was the alleged suspect.
