Victim of ‘systemic racism’? Biden’s Ferguson anniversary tweet flops… as his own DOJ justified Michael Brown shooting – Russia Today Staff (Russia Today) / Aug 10 2020
Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden seemingly forgot what was made clear by his own administration when he was vice president under Obama: Evidence shows that Michael Brown was killed while assaulting a police officer.
That was the conclusion of a US Department of Justice investigation in 2015, during the Obama-Biden administration, when the feds exonerated former Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson in the August 2014 shooting of 18-year-old Brown. As the Washington Post wrote weeks after the DOJ report, the “Hands up, don’t shoot” chant of protesters who demonstrated after Brown’s killing was “built on a lie.” It was based on a false witness who said the teenager was shot by Wilson while submitting to the officer.
The lie led to riots that tore apart Ferguson, and protests spread to other cities. The unrest proved to be a forerunner to this year’s protests and riots across the US in the wake of black Minneapolis man George Floyd’s May 25 death in police custody.
Michael Brown was killed because he was engaged in felony assault of a police officer, according to Obama’s own DOJ investigation, and Democrats’ continued pretense that Brown was a martyr is dishonest and disgraceful https://t.co/K4254vqCdK
