Within days of Brown’s death, Ferguson police released surveillance video from Ferguson Market purporting to show Brown stealing cigarillos from the store shortly before noon.
Pollock said he believes the footage shows Brown trading a small amount of marijuana in exchange for the cigarillos.
“If the [documentary] video is accurate and valid, it is unfortunate that Brown was portrayed internationally as a ‘thief’ and ‘criminal’.
“Regardless of what was revealed in the video, Michael Brown should have never lost his life,” board member John Gaskin III said in a statement.
