Maybe you're referring to one of these photos, Trayvon smoking pot.
The box of stolen cigars photo, now that took about 5 seconds for Google to find. They have the technology today to create a screen capture or photo from a video. Yes, there was a video of the robbery, maybe you were sleeping that day. August 15th the Ferguson Police released the video of Brown stealing the cigars and then the 6' 4" 292 pound Brown shoving down the little storekeeper. All the protestors got so upset that the police would try and besmirch the good reputation of Michael Brown. Here's a link to the YouTube video of the thief, that's a website that has a lot of videos.

What was the date and time of the video and when was the positive identification made? Even if this is Brown in the video, what does it have to do with the shooting? And why was Brown's body allowed to lie in the street for four hours, bleeding out?
It seems to a layman, that the Ferguson police department has opened itself up to all kinds of civil lawsuits.
It seems that some posters believe that because there was an alleged robbery, that the shooting of an unarmed black teen-ager is acceptable.
