Dorian Johnson, via his attorney had told MSNBC that he and Michael Brown did in fact attempt to steal cigars from QuikStop in Ferguson. After the surveillance video was released earlier today of Brown roughing up the store clerk, leftists, and race-hustling blacks claimed that the video wasn’t of Michael Brown. Now, that lie can be put to rest. Dorian Johnson was the friend of Michael Brown you might have heard about, in the fury or coverage.

The friend who was with Michael Brown when he was shot and killed by a police officer near St. Louis over the weekend is reportedly confirming that he and Brown had taken part in the theft of cigars from a convenience store that day.
That word comes from the attorney for Dorian Johnson, speaking to MSNBC. Police in Ferguson had earlier announced that Brown was suspected of taking cigars from the convenience store in what was described as a “strong-arm robbery.”
Brown’s family is accusing police of trying to draw attention away from the shooting.
Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson said the officer involved in the shooting — identified as Darren Wilson — had gone to the area after a 911 call reporting the robbery. He says a dispatcher gave a description of the suspect, and that Wilson encountered Brown a few minutes before another officer arrived.
