are from June and not August.
If this is true, the police went fishing for anything to corroborate the shooting.
I guess we will know more as the facts unfold.

"A conspiracy theory about the security camera footage of Michael Brown shoplifting from a convenience store minutes before he was shot by a Ferguson police officer on Saturday is making the rounds on Twitter. It alleges the footage is more than two months old.
The theory, which seems largely contained to random users on Twitter, comes amid serious questions about the official record in the case.
Ferguson police released a report Friday that stated Brown was the "primary suspect" in the robbery of some cigars from a convenience store that occurred minutes before he was shot. It included a number of stills taken from the store's security camera.
The Twitter theory alleges that the timestamp on the footage is from June 9, 2014 -- not August 9, 2014, when the robbery allegedly occurred. In TPM's own review of online postings of the images, it appears to be an 8 rather than a 6 as the theory alleges."
