“To some, it doesn’t matters whether Brown’s hands literally were raised, because his death has come to symbolize a much bigger movement.”

Whenever I read “To some”, I quickly figure this is the opinion of the “reporter” disguised as an unbiased news story.

Had the autopsy shown that Brown was shot in the back or that his arms were raised, this would have been the most important aspect of the story. The fact that there is proof that this was not the case, immediately makes these facts irrelevant. So according to the AP and to “some”, facts don’t matter and should not be an impediment to a story that can be milked by the Democrats for political purpose. Similarly, the fact that there hasn’t be global warming for over a decade and a half is irrelevant compared to the goal of increasing the size of government. So much for the “party of science”!

The MSM attempts to re-inflate its now busted balloon. Next, I expect they’ll do an in depth investigation of the grand jury members in an attempt to fan the flames. The MSMs sad goal is not news; it is leftist propaganda mixed with sensationalism.

Pretty much irrelevant for FR as you can’t post more than a few words.

The lesson here is that if it is necessary to shoot a black man it must be a black officer that does it; or only black policemen should have guns, just in case.

Yeah, to those to whom true justice is irrelevant, NONE of the facts matter. And if we are to administer justice on the basis of knee-jerk emotionalism, I suppose that’s fine.

But I thought it was built of stronger stuff.

Hey, AP, the saga of Michael Brown — and his timely demise — is becoming boring. Enough already.

I don’t get this backtracking. Once the autopsy results were made public that Brown wasn’t shot in the back, and his hands couldn’t have been raised when he was shot, the media backed off this story significantly. When Brown’s accomplice walked back his entire story (you know, the string of lies that established the narrative from the beginning), they backed off even more.

Now, since blacks are throwing a hissy fit and burning their own POS town to the ground, they’re acting like there’s more to the story. Why the change?

Facts are irrelevant because they’re racist.

For some, Brown’s hands could have been on Wilson’s throat — they’d still be saying that the racist cop murdered that innocent little boy in cold blood just because he was black.

But the black moocher/looter class knows that facts lie and only wealthy race pimps tell the truth.

Truth is irrelevant. All that matters is the narrative.

If the story doesn’t fit the narrative, how can it become symbolic of a “movement” based on the narrative? (Rhetorical question, BTW)
