GTFO. 

Hands up down shoot was decided by our judicial system and upheld by Obama's DOJ to be a lie. Regardless the hoops you, Matt and the rest of the gang try to jump through. IMO associating George Floyd with Michael Brown is disrespectful knowing what we know about the Michael Brown case.

While I would never question what I am sure is your impeccable legal background (added to everything else you are an expert at) it was not found or upheld to be a "lie" or a "false narrative".

Quote:As the Post first noted in its March 19 fact check, a St. Louis County jury could not confirm testimonies to the effect that Brown had been holding his hands above his head and telling Wilson not to shoot him. A Department of Justice investigation released earlier in March could not corroborate those details, either, after interviewing roughly 40 witnesses.

On that link you can see where DOJ excluded witnesses who either admitted lying or who didn't match up with the forensics and how even the witnesses they trusted had slightly differing views of whether and for how like Brown had his arms up.

So did it happen?  Probably not like the protesters have been using.

Is it based on a "lie"?  Probably not like you think it is.

Does it matter?  Not one iota.   The rest of the DOJ report outlined the systematic racism in the Ferguson police department. It is now a rallying point to the police that even when minorities are listening and "following orders" they can be shot and killed and the officer will, in most cases, not only get away with it but never be charged.

Focusing on it just a red herring to distract from the meaning behind it to the protesters and the protests.

"GTFO" indeed.
