Is Over!
“To some, it doesn’t matters whether Brown’s hands literally were raised, because his death has come to symbolize a much bigger movement.”
Whenever I read “To some”, I quickly figure this is the opinion of the “reporter” disguised as an unbiased news story.
Had the autopsy shown that Brown was shot in the back or that his arms were raised, this would have been the most important aspect of the story. The fact that there is proof that this was not the case, immediately makes these facts irrelevant. So according to the AP and to “some”, facts don’t matter and should not be an impediment to a story that can be milked by the Democrats for political purpose. Similarly, the fact that there hasn’t be global warming for over a decade and a half is irrelevant compared to the goal of increasing the size of government. So much for the “party of science”!
For anyone with a brain the AP is irrelevant.
The MSM attempts to re-inflate its now busted balloon. Next, I expect they’ll do an in depth investigation of the grand jury members in an attempt to fan the flames. The MSMs sad goal is not news; it is leftist propaganda mixed with sensationalism.
The lesson here is that if it is necessary to shoot a black man it must be a black officer that does it; or only black policemen should have guns, just in case.
For obama, holder, jackson and sharpton Brown's actions and intent were irrelevant.
Yeah, to those to whom true justice is irrelevant, NONE of the facts matter. And if we are to administer justice on the basis of knee-jerk emotionalism, I suppose that’s fine.
But I thought it was built of stronger stuff.
For Some, Facts are Irrelevant
I don’t get this backtracking. Once the autopsy results were made public that Brown wasn’t shot in the back, and his hands couldn’t have been raised when he was shot, the media backed off this story significantly. When Brown’s accomplice walked back his entire story (you know, the string of lies that established the narrative from the beginning), they backed off even more.
Now, since blacks are throwing a hissy fit and burning their own POS town to the ground, they’re acting like there’s more to the story. Why the change?
Truth is irrelevant. All that matters is the narrative.
If the story doesn’t fit the narrative, how can it become symbolic of a “movement” based on the narrative? (Rhetorical question, BTW)
“My sense is that it’s totally symbolic and a way of representing powerlessness” in the face of inequality and militarized police, he said.
The word spread like the guy tells you what horse to bet on.
“To some, it doesn’t matters whether Brown’s hands literally were raised,...”
DON’T CONFUSE US WITH FACTS! OUR MINDS ARE ALREADY MADE UP!
The attempt by the Brown protesters to enter shopping areas today with their “hands up, don’t shoot” chant is falling on deaf ears, both Black and White, for obvious reasons.
Bringing up facts is racist and “acting white.” Emotions, superstitions, and mythology are the way to go - that’s acting “real.”
This is from AP
He wasn’t shot because of the placement of his hands; he was shot because he was a big, black, scary man,” said James Cox, 28, a food server who protested this week in Oakland, California.
this is from me..

I don’t care if his hands were raised or not, because from the officer’s perspective it’s a minor detail. Bad guys from time immemorial have pretended to surrender in order to get close enough to attack; the threat was in Brown’s refusal to stop coming nearer, not in where his hands happened to be at the time.
A weak attempt at damage control by American Pravda. The “hands up” meme is becoming known as a lie, leeching energy out of the current Days of Rage effort.
