Sorry! New Ferguson Video Only Proves Mike Brown Was A Drug Dealer Too

People are now freaking out over a new video of Mike Brown that was discovered of him entering the same market he robbed the day later just that morning at 1 AM.

They say it proves he didn’t rob the market, and thus was unfairly killed by Ferguson policeman Darren Wilson.

From the New York Times:

…a second, previously unreported video from that same convenience store included in a new documentary is raising new questions about what happened in the hours before the shooting on Aug. 9, 2014. The footage shows Mr. Brown entering the store, Ferguson Market and Liquor, shortly after 1 a.m. on the day he died. He approaches the counter, hands over an item that appears to be a small bag and takes a shopping sack filled with cigarillos. Mr. Brown is shown walking toward the door with the sack, then turning around and handing the cigarillos back across the counter before exiting. Jason Pollock, a documentary filmmaker who acquired the new tape, says the footage challenges the police narrative that Mr. Brown committed a strong-armed robbery when he returned to the store around noon that day. Instead, Mr. Pollock believes that the new video shows Mr. Brown giving a small bag of marijuana to store employees and receiving cigarillos in return as part of a negotiated deal. Mr. Pollock said Mr. Brown left the cigarillos behind the counter for safekeeping.

This is the video at the New York Times:

So here’s the problem with that narrative – it’s pure speculation. Pollack doesn’t KNOW that Brown had a drug deal and left the cigarillos there to get later. And even if he did, WHY did he choose to beat up the market owner when he came back? Doesn’t sound like an innocent “gentle giant” to me.

AND EVEN IF HE’S RIGHT, WHO CARES? That just makes Brown a drug dealer, who later robbed a market. How is that any better than before? AND it has absolutely nothing to do with grabbing a cop’s gun, which caused his death.

Sorry party people, but even if you’re a drug dealer who accidentally beat up a market owner under a misunderstanding, YOU CAN’T REACH FOR A COP’S GUN AND EXPECT TO LIVE. That’s how reality works.

Black Twitter loved it, of course:

And blamed the Jews?

And the Jews who said mike brown Robb da store need to be in jail this morning to #mikebrown — WOLFGANG (@iam_myo) March 12, 2017

We already knew Ferguson lied on Mike Brown the entire time. Fuck Chief Jackson for that forever. — ashley yates (@brownblaze) March 12, 2017

With all of the attention on #MikeBrown, especially in August 2014, there is no way that I believe that the police didn't see this footage. — deray mckesson (@deray) March 12, 2017

Ugh, idiots. More rational Twitter mocked the absurd conclusions being hastily drawn:

"We'll explain to the public that Mike Brown wasn't a shoplifter, he was a drug dealer." – World's worst image consultant. — Holden (@Holden114) March 12, 2017

The footage of Mike Brown with his hand around a guy's throat isn't the real Mike Brown. The real Mike Brown is the footage of him dealing https://t.co/qADL8c7O8v — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) March 12, 2017

No this is misunderstanding, innocent Mike Brown was actually a drug dealer when he tried to grab that cop's gun. You've got this all wrong. — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) March 12, 2017

And then there’s this guy saying nobody would trade weed for swisher sweets anyway:

is they trynna say mike brown traded some tree for some swishers ? that shit don't even make sense — plg (@MoneyBallMack_) March 12, 2017

So expect a bunch of whining race-mongers to push this video forever…
