Brown gives the store employees what appears to be a small bag of weed in exchange for two boxes of cigarillos. He leaves the cigarillos behind the counter and returns the next day to collect them.<\/p>\n<p>When a different store employee refuses to let Brown leave with the cigarillos, Brown shoves him and walks out the door. Police released video from this incident as proof Brown was a suspect in a strong-armed robbery, which is why Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson stopped him on the street.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Pollock, a documentary filmmaker who acquired the new tape, told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/03\/11\/us\/michael-brown-ferguson-police-shooting-video.html?mwrsm=Email&amp;_r=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-video-allegedly-conflicts-police-account-michael-brown-incident\" title=\"New Video Allegedly Conflicts with Police Account of Michael Brown Incident\">New York Times<\/a> that this video proves Brown never stole anything from the convenience store. He took the cigarillos as part of a pre-arranged drug deal with store employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey destroyed Michael\u2019s character with the tape, and they didn\u2019t show us what actually happened,\u201d Pollock said. \u201cSo this shows their intention to make him look bad. And shows suppression of evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sgt. Shawn McGuire, a spokesman for the county police, said in an email to the Times that footage of the earlier encounter had not been released because it was not relevant to the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The store employees also took issue with Pollock\u2019s interpretation of the video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no transaction,\u201d said Jay Kanzler, a lawyer for the convenience store and its employees. \u201cThere was no understanding. No agreement. Those folks didn\u2019t sell him cigarillos for pot. The reason he gave it back is he was walking out the door with unpaid merchandise and they wanted it back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the documentary sheds light on the events leading up to Brown\u2019s death, it does not address what happened during the shooting itself.<\/p>\n<p>Office Darren Wilson was cleared of criminal wrongdoing by a county grand jury and federal civil rights investigators. He claimed he was attacked by Brown and feared for his life, claims which were backed by physical evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Brown\u2019s family still contends the shooting was unprovoked, and they believe police released the video of the alleged robbery to demonize him.<\/p>\n<p>Brown\u2019s parents have filed a federal lawsuit against Officer Wilson, the city of Ferguson and the former Ferguson police chief. A civil trial is scheduled to start next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brown\u2019s family still contends the shooting was unprovoked, and they believe police released the
