In the blown-up still, It looks like a “6” to me, especially when I compare with the other “6s” in the time-stamp.
PS. In the video, the timestamp indeed says “8” Was the first still doctored??

Yeah, this theory is pretty obviously bunk. You can see that it’s an 8 as objects pass behind the timestamp.

It’s an 8. The cops made sure it was an 8 when they made the stamp.

In the very first frame of the CBS video it clearly says 2014-08-09. No question. It remains the same throughout the video.

I can’t make out the date. If this happened immediately before the shooting, shouldn’t Brown have been dressed in the same clothes? What was he wearing when he was shot? What do the other people in the video have to say about what was going on? Why did it take this long to release information, and why did they talk just about the alleged robbery and not the shooting?
Even if he did rob the store, nothing he allegedly did is a capital offense, and there’s no indication he was armed. So it really changes nothing if the police chief’s claim holds up. If the police are lying, now it’s a coverup on top of a homicide.

Lets NOT get kooky like the right-wing. His friend that was with him when he was murdered, has told the Justice Department investigators and the FBI that young man stole a pack Swisher Sweets, well before the local police divulge this information. If fact, the locals haven’t even interviewed his friend that was within feet of the murder.

Even if it had been a capital offense, we are supposed to have a system of justice in this country that does not condone extrajudicial execution. Even if he had been armed, under the American system of justice, once he put his hands up and surrendered he should have been taken into custody and charged and tried in a court of law, not shot killed in the middle of the street like some rabid dog.

That’s a bag of NEW! Doritos Sriracha Xtreme Bold™ chips on the far right rack. Those were discontinued and pulled from convenience stores shelves the second week of July! This had to have been before then!
Seriously though, that’s clearly an 8.

Another round of looney CT bullshit that ranks up there with the nonsense that WT7s was a controlled demolition.

Thank you. It is truly sad to see more than a few on “the left” be just as fuck-nut looney/stupid as those on “the right”.

He was dressed in the same clothes (or at least close enough that if they are different people, they’re hard to tell apart from this kind of video), though some of the same conspiracy people claim it’s “obviously” someone else with different clothes and body type. One of the other threads had a picture of his body after he was shot and he had the same thing, brown cutoff pants falling off, dark underwear, white shirt. It’s telling that the people claiming it’s fake use #NWO on their posts.

After looking at the video, there’s no point where the 8 even resembles a 6. These people are truly nuts.
So since it appears real, and the item(s) stolen amount to less than $10 in value, this is petty theft. Police officer imposed death penalty for petty theft? How about a simple arrest, detainment, and restitution? That’s how police should operate, white or black suspect.

This doesn’t matter! THEY SHOT HIM. You can’t just shoot people for stealing a FREAKING CIGAR. People, people, please!

It appear to say camera 6 but the date looks like 08 to me but what does it matter. I still don’t believe the officer knew about this when he executed Michael.

After looking it up, at least in my state (which I’m guessing is similar if not less strict than Missouri), just the act of pushing the store owner escalates it from fourth-degree theft (stealing goods worth less than $100), a petty misdemeanor, to second-degree robbery (“if, in the course of committing theft, the person uses force against the person of anyone present with the intent to overcome that person’s physical resistance or physical power of resistance”), which is a class B felony.
Obviously, this still doesn’t justify shooting him for it. Nor do I think they were even aware of it at the time.

Off CNN:
BREAKING NEWS
Police accuse Michael Brown of robbery
my question:
How can a competent police dept. accuse a dead guy of anything? Are they gonna demand he appear in court? And testify?

Does it matter? This video is an attempt to deflect from the actual shooting.
