There are literally thousands of tweets featuring the #FergusonTaughtMe hashtag, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, which spread the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” rallying cry everywhere. And we do mean everywhere.
Speaking of CNN and the mainstream media, they certainly don’t seem to be shy about pledging allegiance to the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” movement, even though an autopsy of Michael Brown showed that he did not have his hands up in surrender when he was shot, nor was he fleeing from Officer Darren Wilson.
#FergusonTaughtMe that facts don't matter. Ever. Just blame cops and white people. 🙂

#FergusonTaughtMe that the mainstream media is much more interested in pushing a narrative instead of reporting facts.

#FergusonTaughtMe to honor pot-smoking, violent felons by condemning the cop who stopped said pot-smoking, violent felon.

#FergusonTaughtMe how easily a lie can become a truth if we repeat it enough.

Speaking of looting, two things we’ve learned from covering Ferguson is that history repeats, and the owners of Bowen’s Beauty Supply cannot catch a break.
