Just trying to keep the ‘story’ alive.
And it is an almost completely fabricated false narrative.
Repeat any lie long enough and often enough, and it is somehow substituted for the real truth.
Reality - Trayvon Martin sneaked up behind George Zimmerman, meaning to “beat him down”, in an encounter that did not end well.
Reality - Darren Wilson, a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer was assaulted through the window of his police cruiser, and the assailant attempted to wrest the officer’s sidearm from the officer. Michael Brown was fleeing the scene when the officer emerged from the car, and shouted for the fleeing man to stop. Upon being told to stop, Brown, turned, and attempted to tackle the officer, who had a loaded weapon aimed at Brown. Brown’s arms were NOT raised in surrender, but as a gesture he meant to tackle the officer, football-lineman style. Brown died of multiple gunshot wounds before he reached the officer, one through the top of the head as he was falling forward.
Reality - Eric Gardner was selling “loosies”, single cigarettes, to homeless people on the streets of Staten Island, an activity forbidden by city ordinances in New York City. A citizen called the police, and several policemen surrounded Gardner, with the intention of arresting him. Gardner was a very large man, much greater in bulk than even of the biggest police officer he was confronting. Gardner chose not to submit, and the officers then took him down to the ground. Gardner was actually in very frail health, and the effects of the takedown resulted in a extreme degree of respiratory distress, resulting in his death within minutes.
In all three of these encounters, the survivors of these engagements were brought up before a grand jury. A “probable cause” was found for Zimmerman, and he was tried, but found “not guilty”. In the other two instances, the respective grand juries both returned a “no bill”, and the officers involved were never charged with criminal intent.
That’s my take on the stories and I’m sticking with it.
