The WaPo's fact-checker column is sometimes biased, but they get it right in their evaluation of the outrageous statements of Senators/candidates Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren that Michael Brown was "murdered" by a police officer in the notorious Ferguson, Missouri incident.

The column recounts the statements of the witnesses found credible by the Justice Department during the Obama Administration, which make it crystal clear that the "hands up" claim was a lie and that Brown attacked Officer Wilson. They award the maximum Four Pinocchios, reserved for "whoppers."
