It has been shown time and time again that the reason more black people are stopped, arrested, covicted, and sent to prison is because they commit more crimes.
I would love to see the Furgeson, MO police force quit entirely and move away. Let the poor downtrodden black folks have their town. Since we hear so little of aanyone else in town standing up for the cops, they must agree with the black community.
Here, it’s yours. You fix it.
Surprise: CNN Reports ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ is Based on Falsehood
By Matthew Balan | March 6, 2015 | 11:31 PM EST
On Friday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 surprisingly spotlighted that the “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative and chant forwarded by many left-wing supporters of Michael Brown’s family is grounded in falsehoods. Correspondent Sara Sidner cited a recent Justice Department report that underlined that the mantra is “inconsistent with the physical and forensic evidence” and that “witnesses have acknowledged their initial accounts were untrue.” [video below]
Host Anderson Cooper led into Sidner’s segment by touting that the DOJ report “uncovered...racist e-mails...[and] schemes for, essentially, shaking down citizens – disproportionately African-American citizens...through fines and tickets and harassment.” He continued by outlining how prevalent “hands up, don’t shoot” became. He even referenced the biased moment where three CNN analysts made the accompanying pose on the air in December 2014:
ANDERSON COOPER: As you know, ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ became the rallying cry in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting. Protesters chanted it on Ferguson streets. They shouted it in New York, and in cities big and small across the country. A number of CNN commentators sympathized with protesters along those lines. Professional athletes sparked controversy with the phrase. Members of the St. Louis Rams taking the field with their hands up – echoing what many believed Michael Brown did – that he had his hands up and was surrendering when Darren Wilson shot him. Many believed that; many still do. Justice Department investigators, though – they do not.
Sidner summarized the relevant parts of the Justice Department report. She also zeroed in on how some protesters, as well as Michael Brown’s family, still cling to the false narrative:
SARA SIDNER (voice-over): What really happened the final moments of Michael Brown’s life? The Justice Department investigation makes it clear: the evidence does not support the mantra still being used by some protesters. (clip of protesters chanting, “Hands up; don’t shoot” outside the White House)
Instead, the Department of Justice found that is – quote, ‘inconsistent with the physical and forensic evidence;’ and in some cases, ‘witnesses have acknowledged their initial accounts were untrue;’ or witness accounts were not credible – including the witness closest to Brown when it happened – Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, whose words helped spark the mantra.
