It’s mid-August. That can only mean one thing – Democrat politicians spreading fabrications about the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014.
The most persistent fabrication is the claim that Brown was a “gentle giant” gunned down while his hands were raised up and saying don’t shoot. “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” became the slogan of the organized Black Lives Matter movement, which was launched after the Brown shooting.
But it’s all a lie, as I have written about over, and over, and over, and over again, literally dozens of times.
Michael Brown was shot when he sucker punched a policeman sitting in a patrol car, reached into the vehicle to try to grab his service pistol leading to the first shot, then made a second charge at the officer leading to the deadly shot. An investigation by the Obama/Holder DOJ concluded there was no credible evidence supporting the “hands up, don’t shoot” claim and that the shooting was legally justified.
Here are just some of my posts on the topic over the years:
Writing about the fabrication in June 2020 lit a fuse under many folks at Cornell Law School who denounced me, boycotted me, and unsuccessfully tried to get me fired. I have been totally vindicated both on the Brown case and my criticisms of BLM:
This year was quieter than most years but leave it to Rashida Tlaib to tweet that Michael Brown was “murdered”:
Mike Brown should still be with us today.But 12 years ago this week, he was murdered by a police officer in Ferguson.Our fight for justice and an end to white supremacy, police violence, and mass incarceration continues.Black lives matter.
There were plenty of people to respond. It gave me a chance to Retweet some of my earlier tweets from years past, and to educate some people who didn’t know the full history of the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown racism hoaxes:
All I have left to say is, “I said what I said.”
