Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris’s controversial Michael Brown tweets, explained

Democratic presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris marked the five-year anniversary of the Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting of Michael Brown last week with tweets claiming that the cop who shot Brown “murdered” the 18-year-old black man.

But the evidence, including a report released by President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice, says otherwise.

The protests in Ferguson drew national attention to the real problem of police violence and racial bias nationwide — the bigger movement Harris and Warren acknowledged with their tweets. Justice Department investigations after the shooting, though, found that the officer who shot Brown was legally justified, even if the police department that he worked in had serious problems with racial bias and violence.

Racial bias? Show me a similar situation where a white person would have been treated differently. Brown got what was coming to him, and media opportunists took advantage of the situation.

Uh, they’re both liars and want to continue to divide people along racial lines for political gains for them?

So the fake Indian and an ineligible both attempt to stir up racial hatred.

Must be part of their CommiecRAT party platform.

I’m an old white guy. I’m pretty certain that if I punch a cop in the face and try to get his gun I will get shot. And nobody would riot for me.

Don’t get too excited, the article says even though Wilson was justified in this case, police departments are still racist.

What they said is probably actionable. Wilson should sue them.

I hope that the officer sues them both for libel. Lying and calling someone a murderer is defamation per se, i.e., so defamatory that damages are presumed.

Even if the officer is considered a public figure, this qualifies as reckless or knowing falsity.

I can explain it.

The Brown Lie is simply Liberal Fascist propaganda, designed to dehuumanize Conservatives and Republicans, and to create mayhem for “Hope and Change.” (Alinsky Rules)

And you who do not believe?

German Lopez? Sounds like the boy has all the bases covered depending on how Barry’s “race war” turns out.
