While it is difficult to be 100% certain, the video appears to show Brown purchasing some cigars, but lacking the money for the amount he wished to buy. Brown seems to purchase some cigarillos, pay for them, attempt to buy more, then replace the ones he could not afford. The confrontation between Brown and the clerk may have been because Brown impatiently reached across the counter. Perhaps it was wrong for Brown to shove the employee ( it is impossible to know what words were exchanged) but this more complete footage than was shown by police, and CNN seems to exonerate him. It is important to note Brown only shoves the clerk after the clerk put his hands on him. You can also clearly see that there was no “strong arm robbery” going on! In any case, neither the employee nor the store owner called law enforcement-something that would surly happen if Brown committed a “strong-arm robbery” At this point, the police portrayal of the video and strategic release has had the desired effect. It is amazing how the media brain washes a viewer into believing the worst about a person, or any personal agenda they want you to believe by simply leaving out a very important part of a video or other footage. But of coarse this is done on purpose!
