Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren both took it upon themselves to push an absolutely divisive and possibly dangerous lie. Both Democrats claimed Michael Brown was murdered by a white cop we suppose they think if it worked for Obama it will work for them.
And per usual, the media, for the most part, has been more than willing to look the other way which Brit Hume was good enough to call out.
Sharyl Attkisson took it a step further and fact-checked Harris and Warrens claim.
This is good.

1. With respect, this is false -- and a persistent misconception. The Obama Justice Dept. ultimately determined Brown was *not* "murdered" and "likely did not have his hands up" when shot. The Obama Justice Dept. declined to charge the officer with anything.

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.

2. The Obama Justice Dept. ultimately ruled that many witnesses who had claimed in the media (without challenge) that Brown's hands were up-- and other claims-- were "not reliable."
In other words, they lied.

3. The Obama Justice Dept. determined that Brown likely *did* reach into the police vehicle and grab the police officer. There was evidence backing that up, while there was no evidence backing the claim that Wilson grabbed Brown.
