Maybe the shop owner didn't call police bc no crime was committed? Read my other post on here of what I think could have happened. I have had someone mistakenly think I took something without paying, stopped me at the door - and then they realized that I DID pay - and I went on my way. Sometimes, people make mistakes - maybe the shop owner thought that Mike Brown took more than he paid for - as he obviously paid for something at the counter while he had an interaction with the owner/clerk. But, Dorian Johnson put the ones he was handed back on the counter, and maybe those were the only ones that weren't paid for - and when the owner got back up there, realized that they had been put back on the counter and realized he had made a mistake, not theft happened, and that's why he didn't call police. I don't know why that is so much harder to believe than an 18 year old guy walked into a store, with cameras, that he had been in a million times and most likely knew there were cameras, and just in open view of the owners and clerks picked up cigars and didn't pay and walked out.
