*sigh* You are relying on only one source for your information:
To Quote my earlier posts: It's called selective reporting. Usually you don't see such a blatant display of it as we are being treated to in this case.
Mostly the Chief is stumbling on his words and the media's having a field day forwarding their cause.
AND
Today was a shit storm of conflicting reports because most of the media outlets did not report the whole of the FPD Chief's statements - leaving a gap in information for those who only sourced one.
In addition the FPD Chief himself left out bits in his subsequent meetings with the press (having already said them and not repeating himself) As an example of that, one doesn't have two meetings in the same day expecting that someone will tell them every detail at both - the other person rightfully assumes that since he told you x and y bits at the morning meeting, he doesn't need to repeat them again at the evening meeting.

It was not QT that got robbed, that was an assumption, the police report blocks out the stores name, but the media reports it was Ferguson Market and Liquor on West Florissant Avenue. -- They have been looted this evening (Thanks Media hope you got paid well)

The Rev. Jesse Jackson shows up at protest site as Brown family calls for calm : News (third section down)Ferguson officer realized during encounter that Michael Brown might be suspect in robbery, chief says
The officer who shot Ferguson teen Michael Brown stopped Brown and another teen because they were walking in the street, not because of a robbery a few minutes earlier, Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said Friday afternoon.
Jackson said the officer was aware cigars had been taken in the robbery of a store nearby, but did not know when he encountered Brown and Dorian Johnson that they might be suspects. He stopped them because they were walking in the street, Jackson said.
But Jackson told the Post-Dispatch that the officer, Darren Wilson, saw cigars in Brown's hand and realized he might be the robber.
Jackson also addressed concerns about his release of information about the robbery at the same time he released the name of the officer at a press conference Friday morning.
Jackson said he released the security video from the liquor store because news organizations had been requesting it under the Freedom of Information Act.
Asked by reporters why he released the tape, he said, "Because I had to. Too many people put in (freedom of information) requests for it."
