While I can somewhat understand people’s different opinions of the case, I just can’t understand the hands up don’t shoot symbolism. This never happened. Brown never had hands up to surrender. Yet somehow this has become a symbol of this event, even though it didn’t happen that way.

The actual symbolism should be heads down, in the charging position, charging someone like a bull. But that actual symbolism of what really happened doesn’t fit the liberal narrative surrounding this case.

because it doesn’t fit the leftist narrative.

But hey, it may work for them and they might get what they are asking for and more . . .

"This never happened."

Neither has there been a free Cuba in 55 years, but that doesn't stop the accolades to Fidel and his mafia.

It doesn’t matter if it is true now.

Just like the spitting incident on a member of Congress during the Obamacare protest in DC. It’s now historical record that it happened even though there was no proof that it did.

Just like Palin saying that she could see Russia from her front porch, even though she never said that it was from a Saturday Night Live sketch, it is now public record that she said it. People repeat that all the time and most honestly do not know it’s not a real quote.

The media is powerful. Very very powerful. If you’re on the wrong side of it, watch out.
