How is it character assassination? I would see character assassination as showing something that could view out of context or viewed without having the entire story. That's not the case here, the video clearly shows a racists move by brown when he stole and physically intimidated a minority store owner.

I thought they said that the dispatcher described the subjects of the robbery and he went back to get a better look of the boys before all of this went down.

This is false.
The initial contact was not with the cop having knowledge of the robbery.

I would think the motive for that was when brown tried grabbing the cops gun.

I think the feeling is that it now can possibly explain Brown getting aggressive with the cop in the first place, which is something that was immediately discarded when first broached (including by me, to be fair) because "Why would he?"
The videotape, even though the cop was unaware of the robbery, is material. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and all that jazz.
And bear in mind, it still doesn't necessarily excuse the cop's actions, based on what the forensic evidence may or may not show.
