The Black Lives Matter movement took root principally in the shooting death of a an 18 year-old African American, Michael Brown, by white Ferguson, MO, Officer Darren Wilson. Wilson was tried in the press and convicted of racist murder: The narrative was, "Hands Up, Don't Shoot": Wilson gunned him down in cold blood while Brown had his hands up in surrender.
It was a pack of lies. Brown, who had just committed a small-time robbery of a convenience store and shoved the clerk (half his size) on the way out, did not have his hands up and was not trying to surrender. (The tape of the robbery is here; the shoving episode is at 0:27 to 0:33). To the contrary, moments before the shooting, Brown had tried to wrestle Wilson's gun away, and was on his way back to the patrol car. This is not the finding of Fox News; it's the finding of a grand jury convened by Barack Obama's Justice Department.
Brown was 6'4" and weighed 292 pounds. That is bigger than the average NFL player.
Showing the extent of her embrace of the venomous BLM movement, Hillary has now invited Brown's mother to the Democratic National Convention. The story is here.
If there is a reason any police officer in the country would trust Hillary with the Presidency, I hope some reader will tell me what it is.
