Elizabeth Warren defended her false claim that Michael Brown had been “murdered” by police.
Brown was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson on August 9, 2014. That much is true.
Left-wing activists said Brown had been shot in the back and had put his hands over his head and said, “Don’t shoot!”.
None of those claims were true.
The incident revitalized the “Black Lives Matter” movement, bringing unrest to many American cities. Race relations suffered a decline from which they have not recovered.
The Obama Justice Department found Brown had not been murdered, that he probably attacked Wilson first, concluding Officer Wilson’s use of force could not be described as “objectively unreasonable.” ”
When a grand jury likewise declined to induct Wilson, a riot ensued, damaging many Ferguson minority-owned businesses. The neighborhood has struggled ever since.
Warren tweeted last Friday:
"5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on."
The Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association wrote Warren, “Your reckless tweet will only serve to create hatred towards Police Officers and place them in danger of more assaults and perhaps death.”
Asked if she still thought Brown was “murdered,” Warren refused to retract her claim or to apologize:
"What happened is that a man was shot — an unarmed man, in the middle of the street, by police officers, and left to die. And I think that’s where our focus should be. It is the fifth anniversary of that occurring, and we need to talk about how to make real change in this country. "

She has nothing.
She will do/say ANYTHING to get elected. At night she may pray to Satan and offer her soul for the Presidency. Why should Satan bargain for something he already has?
We need to keep this alive. The more she talks the crazier she seems.
This is one of the best polling Candidates of the Dems? Unreal!
Fauxcahontas’ entire career has been based a patchwork of lies. Why would she have any compunctions to lieing now?

True as far as it goes - although I would not accept the 'left to die' portion. But that's like saying Hitler was just a vegetarian who loved his dog and reduced German unemployment.
A riot ensued?
What I seldom hear mentioned, is that the rioting was planned and the plan was carried out. The vast majority of those arrested in the violence in Ferguson were not from Ferguson. Many traveled from other states, to go to Ferguson to set fire to convenience stores and create mayhem. Who recruited and paid and transported these rioters is seldom talked about.
The media make it sound as if the residents of Ferguson felt such great rage that a spontaneous riot occurred but that is not what happened.
She has reached her ceiling as a senator from Massachusetts and can probably hold that seat for life - if Ted Kennedy and John Kerry did, she can too. But her presidential run is doomed. Now I’m gonna get me a beer...
She sold her soul for privileges and power. She can’t bargain with it again.
Soros.
into the Policemen's hall of fame?
They didn't indict him either.
Sharp eyes.
i didn’t see that.
p
You're in Italy. Shouldn't it be a glass of vino?
Sure don’t want a president that can’t operate on facts.
This is the only altercation between blacks and police where there were no cell phones being held up taking videos of the incident...or was it?
Lieawatha staying true to form.
Ha ha. but I like Moretti too!
