Friday at a press conference, attorneys for the Brown family held a press conference to criticize the Ferguson Police Department for releasing photographs and a video of a robbery Michael Brown allegedly committed moments before he was stopped and fatally shot by officer Darren Wilson.

The attorney for the family Daryl Parks, confirmed Brown is the man in the video by saying, “It appears to be him.”

Parks accused Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson of releasing the video in a “strategic” move “aimed at denigrating their son” which he added is “character assassination.”
