I knew soon after I looked up the PDF files on the case as documented by the DOJ at the time of the shooting. A vast majority of eyewitness accounts corroborated the cop's testimony that MB charged at the cop many times after assaulting him and attempting to take his firearm.
I have just now learned that the entire “Hands up, don’t shoot!” line from the Michael Brown case was completely fabricated. It literally never happened. He never had his hands up. He never said “Don’t shoot.” The entire thing was a lie… …I had no idea

I’m catching up on Larry Summers/Jeffrey Epstein news and having flashbacks to the #EconMeToo conversations three years ago. Nothing changed in academia then. Will anything change now? (I am not betting on it.)
