Rapper M.C. Hammer, best known for his mega-hit song “U Can’t Touch This,” has been tweeting up a storm about the shooting of Michael Brown. In his view, Brown was “murdered” or “executed” by officer Darren Wilson. It’s as simple as that. Never mind the growing evidence to the contrary.
Do not lose sight of the reason for our uprising,mobilizing and demands for #Justice …A young man was murdered, executed in broad daylight

Of course, Hammer may have access to information that the rest of us don’t:
I knew something was wrong .. Same Old tactics .. @AntonioFrench is locked up. Felt it in my spirit. #FreeAntonioFrench #Ferguson

Unfortunately, the information in this tweet just isn’t true:
??? Brown was shot once by the officer and then an additional nine times as he lie in the street ??? ? #Justice

But be careful of the narrative:
Be Careful of your #Narrative for you shall fan flames of #Grief into Fires of #Anger that result in #bloodshed embrace compassion BE Humane

Where is Hammer’s compassion for Officer Wilson?
