The initial contact between Mr. Brown and the police officer who shot him was NOT related to the robbery at the convenience store.

Brown didn't know that at the time. He'd have every reason to believe he was about to be arrested for theft and assault of the store clerk.

I would agree with you, EXCEPT, that wouldn't explain why Big Mike and friends thought it a good idea to block a police car coming down the street.

If that were truly the case, wouldn't they have been 'chillin' and tried NOT TO BE NOTICED ?
