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

Approximately 2:30 minutes.
