We haven’t heard too much about the eighth anniversary of Michael Brown’s shooting death in Ferguson, Missouri. Lawyer Benjamin Crump weighed in, as did Rep. Pramila Jayapal. She wants us all to keep fighting to dismantle white supremacy in honor of Brown, who was “murdered” by police.
Today marks eight years since Michael Brown was murdered by police in Ferguson, MO.
We need to honor Michael’s life with action. Let’s keep fighting to dismantle white supremacy, so we can ensure racial justice for all.

Here's the Gentle Giant having a friendly exchange with a local business owner a few minutes before he lunged at a cop.
Sweet guy, much missed. A Rosa Parks for this generation.
Hands up, don't shoot! pic.twitter.com/oM2wtL3IU3

He wasn't murdered.
Convenience store owner Andy Patel called police after Brown took items without paying; a BOLO went out. The forensic report from Holder's DOJ confirmed Brown as aggressor, so did grand jury, and witnesses who testified. Stop pushing division with a lie. https://t.co/btu23XmFrE— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 9, 2022
Patel also vociferously disputes the propaganda doc put out to rewrite what happened to trigger the BOLO, too. And again, the inconvenient grand jury, witnesses, and the Democrat prosecutor who was once part of Obama's literal "truth squad."

Yes, Bob McCulloch was a far-left Democrat in charge of the investigation, a hardcore Obama acolyte, who literally put together a little team of prosecutors to target people who said wrong things said about the former Prez. So do not even with this spin.

The medical examiner even concluded that the bullet wounds were consistent with someone lunging at someone.
Michael Brown was not murdered.
He grabbed an in-uniform officer's service weapon, during a life-or-death struggle just a few hours after he violently robbed another minority man. The OBAMA Justice Dept cleared the cop, Wilson.
Why just lie like this? https://t.co/eQI37qPZOg

He was "murdered" the same way Russian soldiers are being "murdered" when Ukrainian soldiers shoot them.

If you repeat the lie enough, that Brown was murdered, you might get more people to believe it. But that doesn't make it true. Stop repeating lies. Democrats should do better.

Obama’ s DOJ led by Eric Holder and the FBI said the shooting was justified, but let’s not let that stop you.

After an extensive investigation, Obama’s Department of Justice cleared Darren Wilson of wrongdoing. Michael Brown did not raise his hands to peacefully surrender; he charged Wilson, & claims to the contrary were deemed inconsistent with physical evidencehttps://t.co/TQGFLuSHmf pic.twitter.com/f1XdlQhi6F

Today marks eight years since Michael Brown attacked a policeman, who wanted to question him about the robbery he committed, in Ferguson, MO. The policeman killed him in self-defense. Obama's DOJ exonerated the policeman. Any lawyers here: what do libel laws say about this tweet?

I really hope Darren Wilson sues you
— Steven (@MaVASteve) August 9, 2022
I hope you are held accountable for your fictitious words. This is a prime example of fueling a false narrative to create divide, great job.

What is the world coming to when you can't even violently attack a police officer anymore?
— Archimedes Watts (@archimedeswatts) August 9, 2022
But it’s so much easier to chant, “Hands up, don’t shoot” and feel like you’re doing something to ensure racial justice.
