Ferguson Missouri "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Among Wash. Posts Big Lies of the Year

Sadly, there are still racebaiters out there who accept the lie as gospel because it suits their prejudices!

The Washington Post has begun it's year end wrap up of their Fact Checker column. In that column they assign lies anywhere from one Pinocchio (minor mistruth) to four Pinocchios (whoppers). Among this years four Pinocchios is the hands up don't shoot lie from Ferguson Missouri where black teen Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer. The incident has been shamelessly used and the lie retold to stir up racial anger.

This phrase became a rallying cry for protests after the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer, Darren Wilson. Witness accounts spread after the shooting that Michael Brown had his hands raised in surrender, mouthing the words “Don’t shoot” as his last words before being shot execution-style.Democratic lawmakers raised their hands in solidarity on the House floor. But various investigations concluded this did not happen — and that Wilson acted out of self-defense and was justified in killing Brown.

Like global warming, one of the other big lies from the left, the question arises: if things are really as bad as the left suggests why do they have to lie about it?
