After Twitchy pointed out this morning that Sally Kohn was completely, ridiculously wrong about the Michael Brown shooting, she could have admitted her error. She could have posted a retraction. She could have tweeted an apology to her readers.
Guess what? She didn’t do any of those things. Instead, about an hour and a half after our article was published, she posted this:
Here’s what police orig said happened in #FergusonShooting – incl that Brown was 35 ft from cop car http://t.co/5SxF3ZVYYM

Why would Kohn suddenly post a week-old article about the Ferguson shooting? Probably it was her way of responding to Twitchy’s post. The article she linked to, however, offers no support whatsoever for her still-unretracted claim that Brown was shot while “fleeing” a police officer.
We’re still waiting, Sally.

Update:
Kohn doubles down:
"According to Belmar, Wilson then fired once from the car, and then several more times as Brown attempted to flee.” http://t.co/DtNBWEcSLD

Here’s video of Belmar’s August 10th news conference in which he briefly discussed the circumstances in which Michael Brown was shot:
At no point in the video does he state that Brown was shot while fleeing the police. We’ll believe he said it if and when we see it on video. #surefacts.
