Remember Michael Brown? He was that thug from Ferguson, Missouri who robbed a convenience store, tried to take a police officer’s gun, and was shot to death attacking that officer. A grand jury, a state investigation, and a federal investigation all found that he was a piece of crap who caused his own death, but that was 6 years ago. Liberals are hoping everyone forgot and are trying to rebrand Brown as the patron saint of police brutality and wokeness. Joe Biden keeps saying very racist things, so he’s leading the charge to memory-hole Brown’s reality and cast him as a civil rights hero.
In all fairness, Biden probably didn’t compose this tweet but he has allowed people to speak on his behalf so he must own it:
It’s been six years since Michael Brown’s life was taken in Ferguson — reigniting a movement. We must continue the work of tackling systemic racism and reforming policing.

Brown’s life wasn’t “taken” so much as a cop had to use deadly force to defend himself against a violent attacking thug on drugs. Also, there was nothing remotely racist or systematically racist about this clear-cut justifiable use of force. Biden should know this since he was vice president at the time and Obama’s Justice Department cleared the officer of any wrongdoing.
Obama’s DoJ even debunked the “hands up don’t shoot” myth surrounding Brown’s death.
But hey, they wouldn’t be liberals if facts mattered. Here’s San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich giving a fact-free racial grievance pep talk to reporters before a game on Sunday:
“Today is the six year anniversary for Michael Brown. I don’t know if any of you thought of that today, but six years ago today, he was gunned down and killed. This was a young man who had just graduated from high school about a week earlier, I think. There was some sort of an altercation that everybody has not agreed upon yet. But the fact that is agreed upon is this is a young man with his hands in the air, running away from the officer, running away, and receives six shots in the back that killed him. And it’s just another example of of an overall culture, not every policeman, so don’t take it out of context, but an overall culture that sort of presumes guilt, or feels danger because it’s a young black man,” said Popovich.
What context should we put all those lies he just told in? No really, read the Obama/Eric Holder DoJ report on the Michael Brown shooting:
Based on this investigation, the Department has concluded that Darren Wilson’s actions do not constitute prosecutable violations under the applicable federal criminal civil rights statute, 18 U.S.C. § 242, which prohibits uses of deadly force that are “objectively unreasonable,” as defined by the United States Supreme Court. The evidence, when viewed as a whole, does not support the conclusion that Wilson’s uses of deadly force were “objectively unreasonable” under the Supreme Court’s definition. Accordingly, under the governing federal law and relevant standards set forth in the USAM, it is not appropriate to present this matter to a federal grand jury for indictment, and it should therefore be closed without prosecution.
Cop-hating Obama and Holder would have loved to nail Darren Wilson to wall over this and even they could make the facts fit the narrative.
It’s been 19 years since former NFL player Rae Carruth murdered his pregnant girlfriend. The are liberals going to roll him out as a victim of systemic racism and police brutality?
This is ridiculous, which is why Joe Biden is involved. Michael Brown was a piece of shit criminal who caused his own death by attacking a police officer. He is not a hero or a victim, just a thug.
