Ferguson Protesters React to Michael Brown Robbery Footage

Views: 817
This morning, Ferguson police chief Thomas Jackson revealed security footage showing that Michael Brown, the 18-year-old shot and killed by police officers in Ferguson, MO, may have committed a “strong arm” robbery against a convenience store owner. The chief later acknowledged that the officer who shot Brown was not aware of the robbery at the time of the incident.

Reason TV talked with protesters in front of a burned-out QuikTrip that looters destroyed earlier this week. Most saw little reason that the new information should dampen their outrage towards the police, and some even justified the destruction of private property as necessary and effective in garnering attention for their cause.

Watch the full video above, and check out Reason TV’s coverage of the previous night’s protests here. Approximately 2:30 minutes. Produced by Zach Weissmueller and Paul Detrick. Music by Chris Zabriskie. Subscribe to Reason TV’s YouTUbe channel for more content like this.
