The second assassination of Mike Brown

[justiceischeap]

ELIZABETH SCHULTE

MIKE BROWN was assassinated by a police officer who shot him down in broad daylight on a street in Ferguson, Mo. Then the mass media took aim, and he was assassinated all over again--on a variety of outlets, at every hour of the day or night.

Six days after he shot the 18-year-old African American, police finally released the name of the white police officer who killed Mike Brown: Darren Wilson. But the cops had another announcement to deliver that day: they suspect Brown was involved in what they called a "strong-arm robbery" earlier on the day he was murdered.

...

The video was replayed over and over by every network and cable news channel; it was embedded in online news stories; screenshots were republished in print newspapers. You had to be living under a rock not to see it.

Eventually, some media outlets raised questions what was happening in the video, when it was made, and even whether Mike Brown was even in it. And that became the excuse to replay the video over and over and over again.

3. And it continues on with the "Bull Rush" crap

Every 2 bit racist wants to be the cop's defense attorney, with hearsay treated as indisputable fact. Led by CNN.
