0:55

It's hard to do anything these days without hearing

0:57

about the Black Lives Matter movement. Turn

1:06

on the news, watch sports, read your kids

1:08

homework, or just innocently grab

1:10

a bite to eat, and chances are you're

1:12

going to get a healthy dose of their ideology.

1:20

Here are the protesters shutting down the restaurants

1:22

in Rochester, New York over the weekend.

1:28

God, you're telling about not about

1:30

hard down.

1:31

The Black Lives Matter movement is everywhere.

1:34

Where did it come from? And perhaps more importantly,

1:37

what does it want? I'm

1:42

Patrick Carelchi and.

1:43

I'm Adriana Cortes, and this.

1:45

Is Red Pilled America, a storytelling

1:48

show.

1:49

This is not another talk show covering the day's

1:51

news. We're all about telling stories.

1:54

Stories. Hollywood doesn't want you to hear stories.

1:58

The media mocks story wri

2:00

about everyday Americans at the globalist

2:02

ignore.

2:03

You can think of Red Pilled America as audio

2:05

documentaries, and we promise only one thing,

2:10

the truth. Welcome

2:15

to Red Pilled America. Black

2:25

Lives Matter is everywhere. It's in the news,

2:28

saturating sports and littering your kid's

2:30

school curriculum. Fire up Netflix

2:32

and you may get a list of recommended BLM

2:35

aligned movies. Go to Starbucks

2:37

and be treated to a Black Lives Matter ad

2:39

on employee t shirts. Buy something

2:41

from Amazon and you might see a BLM

2:43

inspired banner hit your screen. Send

2:46

your kids off to college and expect them to

2:48

return with the idea of white privilege occupying

2:50

their minds like a tumor. Or

2:56

Drive into a major city and you're bound

2:58

to see a mural, mosswalk or city

3:00

hall flag emblazoned with their mantra.

3:03

Black Lives Matter. Aligned organizations

3:06

have even strong armed private schools to

3:08

include mandatory courses in anti

3:10

racism and white privilege, ensuring

3:13

America's future leaders are fully

3:15

indoctrinated in the ideology of their movement.

3:18

This all just seemed to come from out of nowhere.

3:20

Where did the Black Lives Matter movement come

3:22

from? And more importantly, what

3:25

does it want? To find the answer,

3:27

we're going to take a deep dive into the BLM

3:29

movement that has saturated our TV screens,

3:31

social media feeds, educational systems,

3:34

and streets. On its face,

3:36

the phrase black Lives Matter is indisputable,

3:39

but hidden in the mantra is a goal that

3:41

most either don't realize or

3:43

are afraid to admit. And the best

3:45

way to begin understanding the movement is to

3:47

first grasp how it initially gained national

3:50

prominence.

3:59

A brief encounter in the summer of twenty

4:01

fourteen that brought all of the pieces

4:04

together.

4:04

Sailo's County police have taken over the investigation

4:07

of a shooting by a Ferguson police officer

4:10

that left a teenager dead. It

4:12

happened at the Canfield Green apartment complex

4:15

and Ferguson. Angry crowds gathered

4:17

after the shooting and extra police were

4:19

called in.

4:20

The eighteen year old that was shot and killed by a Ferguson,

4:22

Missouri police officer was named Michael

4:25

Brown. He was unarmed by

4:28

the time the media arrived within minutes of

4:30

the shooting, the body of the six foot

4:32

five inch nearly three hundred pounds

4:34

black man was still on the street,

4:37

covered in a white sheet, and his mother

4:39

was inconsolable on the sidewalk.

4:41

You took my son away from you know

4:43

how, oh what it was for me to get him

4:45

this school and graduate.

4:48

You know how many black men graduate?

4:50

Not many, because you'll bring them.

4:53

Downs at this type of level where I feel like,

4:55

don't got none in Nipoi anyway.

4:57

A friend that was with Michael during the shooting, twenty

4:59

two year old Dorian Johnson, explain

5:02

to the gathering media what happened.

5:04

Me and my friend We was walking down the street

5:06

in the middle of the street and

5:09

we wasn't causing any harm to nobody. We

5:12

had no weapons on us at all. We were

5:14

just walking having a conversation. No

5:16

cars were blowing at us or hunking at us like we

5:18

was holding up traffic or anything like that.

5:21

A police officer squad car poured up, and

5:24

when he poured up, these were his exact words. He said,

5:26

get the f on the sidewalk. And

5:29

we told the officer we was not but a minute away

5:31

from our destination and we would shortly

5:33

be out the street. We was having a conversation,

5:35

and he went about his way

5:37

for about one or two seconds as we continued

5:39

to walk, and then he reversed his truck

5:42

his car and in a manner to where

5:44

it almost hit us, and it blocked

5:47

both lanes off the way. He turned his car

5:49

so he pulled up on the

5:51

side of us. He tried to thrust his door open,

5:54

but we were so close to it that it ricocheted

5:56

off us and it bounced back to him. And

5:58

I guess that, you know, got him

6:00

a little upset. And at that time he

6:02

reached out the window. He didn't get out the car, He

6:04

just reached his arm out the window and grabbed

6:06

my friend around his neck and was

6:09

trying to as he was trying to choke my

6:11

friend and he was trying

6:13

to get away, and the officer then reached

6:15

out and he grabbed his arm to pull him into

6:17

the car. So now it's like the officer's pulling

6:19

them inside the car and he's trying to pull away. And

6:22

at no time the officer said that he

6:25

was going to do anything until

6:27

he pulled out his weapon. His weapon was drawn, and

6:29

he said, I'll shoot you or I'm

6:31

going to shoot And in

6:34

the same moment, the first shot went off,

6:36

and we looked at him. He was shot

6:38

and it was blood coming from him, and we took

6:40

off running. And as we took off running,

6:42

I ducked and hid for my life because I

6:44

was feared for my life. And I hear by

6:46

the first car that I saw my friend.

6:49

He kept running and he told me to

6:51

keep running because he feared for me too. So

6:54

as he was running, the officer was trying

6:56

to get out of the car. And once he got out the car, he

6:59

pursued me, but his weapon

7:01

was drawn. Now he didn't see any weapon drawn at

7:03

him or anything like that, us going for no

7:05

weapon. His weapon was already drawn

7:08

when he got out the car. He shot again,

7:10

and once my friend felt that shot, he

7:12

turned around and he put his hands in the earth

7:15

and he started to get down, but the officer

7:17

still approached with his weapon drawn, and he fired

7:20

several more shots.

7:21

According to Dorian, the officer

7:23

didn't say anything to his friend Michael, he

7:26

just murdered him like an animal. When

7:28

the shooting ended, Dorian took off.

7:31

By then, I was so afraid for my life.

7:33

I just I got up and iran. I ran as

7:35

fast as I could back home to my daughter and my woman,

7:38

because I didn't know what was going on. We

7:40

wasn't committing any crime, bringing no harm

7:42

to nobody, but my friend was murdered in curl

7:44

blood.

7:50

The story Dorian painted was horrific. It

7:53

was an unprovoked execution, an

7:55

act only a monster could commit.

7:58

A young black man was just in the

8:00

streets, minding his own business

8:02

and was shot for nothing. And the story

8:04

Dorian told seemed to be backed by

8:06

another on the scene, a woman named

8:09

Pagette Crenshaw.

8:10

He was unarmed, He ran for his life.

8:12

They shot him, and he put

8:15

his arms up to let them know he was compliant

8:17

and that he was unarmed, and they shot him

8:19

twice more and he failed for the ground and died.

8:22

They killed this boy for no reason and

8:24

they should be justice about this.

8:26

According to her, Michael Brown put

8:28

his hands up in the universal sign of

8:30

surrender and he was gunned down anyway.

8:34

By the close of the night, local media

8:36

had a racially charged cop killing that

8:38

they knew would resonate nationally

8:40

and they ran with it.

8:43

It was an emotional and tense day in

8:46

Ferguson after a Ferguson police

8:48

officer shot and killed a seventeen

8:50

year old who witnesses say was

8:52

not carrying a weapon. It happened

8:54

just after noon on Canfield Drive

8:57

in the midst of the Canfield Green apartment

8:59

complot. An angry crowd

9:01

quickly gathered, protesting to shooting.

9:04

Witnesses say seven to eight

9:06

shots were fired.

9:07

Everybody is extremely mad at this.

9:09

This is another Trayvon Martin Flory, a young

9:12

man died before have calm because of brutality

9:15

from a different race, if racial profile

9:17

and.

9:17

Now friends of the teenager who died

9:20

today tell me that he graduated

9:22

from high school this spring and

9:24

that he would not be considered an

9:27

aggressive person.

9:28

By the following day, national

9:30

media amplified the story.

9:32

There is growing outrage tonight after an

9:34

unarmed African American teenager

9:36

was shot and killed by police in the Saint

9:38

Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri,

9:41

but there are conflicting reports about what led

9:43

up to the shooting.

9:46

On the streets of Ferguson, Missouri.

9:49

Outrage and anger.

9:52

Progesters of different ages and races

9:54

demanding answers in the shooting death of eighteen

9:56

year old Michael Brown at the hands of

9:58

a policeman. Investigator said

10:00

at about noon Saturday, the officer, who

10:02

hasn't been identified, encountered

10:05

Brown and another man on the street in an apartment

10:07

complex. There was a struggle and one

10:09

of the men pushed the officer into his car. Within

10:12

the police car, there was a struggle over the officer's

10:14

weapon.

10:15

There was at least one shot fired

10:17

within the car.

10:19

The struggles spilled out onto the street, where

10:21

Brown, whom investigators say was not

10:23

armed, was fatally shot. At

10:25

last the shot this laugh.

10:29

PJ.

10:30

Crenshaw, who took the cell phone video, says

10:32

she saw those shots from her apartment

10:34

balcony.

10:35

He's running this way. He turns his body

10:37

towards this way, hands in

10:39

the air being compliant, he gives

10:41

shining his face and chests, and goes.

10:43

Down and dives.

10:44

Michael Brown graduated from high school earlier

10:46

this spring and was to begin college next

10:48

week. His mother, Leslie mcspatten,

10:51

has a message for the officer who killed

10:53

him.

10:54

You not got You don't decide when you

10:56

gonna take somebody from her.

10:57

If that was the case, I brought him her also.

11:00

It took him from her.

11:01

That was a mine that belonged to me.

11:08

The story seemed perfectly designed for

11:10

mass media consumption. An unarmed

11:13

young black man, someone who was

11:15

not aggressive, with all of the hope in

11:17

the world ahead of him, was racially

11:19

profiled and executed after

11:21

surrendering. A story of this nature

11:24

in a newsroom is like feeding chum

11:26

to hungry sharks, and Michael Brown's

11:28

family, friends, and supporters seemed

11:30

to know the touch points to make it go viral.

11:33

He was a big guy in stature, but when he opened

11:35

his mouth he had a very

11:37

very quiet, soft spoken

11:39

voice. It was a gentle giant.

11:41

He was big.

11:42

He caught for everybody, he was loving.

11:44

He really was a gentle giant.

11:46

He was nothing but a gentle giant.

11:48

To become violent in

11:51

Michael Brown's name is to portray

11:53

the gentle giant that he was.

11:55

The gentle giant wouldn't hurt a fly. The

11:58

circumstances were just too much for the citizens

12:01

of Ferguson to swallow. They took to the

12:03

streets almost immediately. Protests

12:06

started off, as the media would say, peacefully.

12:09

The night began with this peaceful vigil

12:11

for Michael Brown.

12:12

But peaceful devolved to the now familiar

12:14

sign of community grieving Fergusonians

12:17

began looting.

12:18

The night of violence

12:21

was in stark contrast to the peaceful

12:23

demonstrations earlier in the day, sparked

12:26

by the death of eighteen year old Michael

12:28

Brown on Saturday.

12:29

Tonight, there is a lot of looting going

12:32

on, and now we are at yet another

12:34

location that is being looted as

12:36

we speak.

12:38

Well, I had a quick trip with Hansen starting and.

12:43

Lo.

12:44

I was just at the sporting goods store and then

12:46

looked behind me and the shopping centers.

12:48

At least three more stores being looted

12:51

at this point.

12:52

Some

12:52

of that money.

12:58

Did We're

13:00

saying a lot of what is being smish,

13:03

people running out with clothing. I

13:05

have noticed that a lot of these vehicles are involved

13:08

in this. A lot of the packs have been removed

13:10

from those cars as these looters

13:13

continue to go through

13:15

these stores and carry out everything

13:17

they can carry. No police presence in this area.

13:19

They were just here just a few moments ago

13:22

and left and went to another area.

13:25

Overnight on fire and out of control.

13:29

Here north of Saint Louis, thieves

13:31

ruled the night, ransacking local businesses.

13:34

No no breed police

13:37

armed with riot gear couldn't keep up.

13:40

Watches.

13:41

People of all ages loot

13:43

this convenience store and then burn

13:45

it down from bloom at

13:48

this sporting goods shop, it was a free for

13:50

all, an entirely different scene

13:52

from the emotional protest for the slang

13:54

young Man.

13:55

Here at the spot where Michael Brown was killed,

13:57

Hundreds still gathering with calls for

13:59

an even big rally tomorrow at

14:01

the police station.

14:02

And they got what they asked for, with

14:04

angry crowds adopting the mantra hands

14:07

up, don't shoot to protest police brutality

14:09

against the black community.

14:16

As the looting and burning raged in Ferguson,

14:19

eyewitnesses that claimed to see Michael Brown

14:21

put his hands up in surrender began

14:23

to pop up. More and more on cable news,

14:26

including Michael Brown's friend Dorian.

14:28

Johnson and I'm looking. I'm watching an officer.

14:30

He's pursuing my friend. Now that he fired

14:33

another shot. It struck my friend in the

14:35

back. Then my friend stopped

14:37

running. His hands immediately went in the earth,

14:39

and he turned the round towards the officer

14:41

face to face.

14:43

He started to tell the.

14:44

Officer that he was unarmed and that

14:47

you should stop shooting me. Before

14:49

he can get his second senses out, the officer

14:51

fire seven more shots into his head and chest

14:53

areas.

14:54

Okay, what I saw was when the cop

14:56

and Michael were like wrestling

14:59

through the windows, so it looked as if Michael

15:01

was pushing off and the cop was trying to pull him

15:04

in. Then the cops shot

15:06

a fire.

15:06

Through the window.

15:08

Michael breaks away and he starts running

15:10

away from the officer. The officer gets out

15:12

of his vehicle and pursues Michael. As

15:14

he's shooting his weapon. Michael

15:17

jerks his body as if he was hit, and then he turns

15:19

around faced the officer and puts his hands up, and

15:22

the officer continues to shoot him until he goes

15:24

down to the ground put.

15:25

His hands into the air being compliant,

15:27

and he still got shot down like a dog.

15:30

By day five, with Ferguson businesses

15:32

still smoldering, President Obama

15:34

decided to weigh in.

15:36

I want to address something that's been

15:38

in the news over the last couple of days, and that's the situation

15:40

in Ferguson, Missouri. I

15:44

know that many Americans have been deeply

15:46

disturbed by the images we've seen in the heartland of

15:48

our country as police have clashed

15:50

with people protesting today.

15:53

I'd like us all to take a step back and

15:55

think about how we're going to be moving forward. This

15:58

morning, I received a thorough update on the situation

16:00

from Attorney General Eric Holder, who has been

16:03

following it and been in communication

16:05

with his team. I've already tasked

16:07

the Department of Justice and the FBI to independently

16:10

investigate the death of Michael Brown,

16:13

along with local officials

16:15

on the ground.

16:16

The first black President's words did

16:18

little to quiet the storm, as a hands

16:20

up, don't shoot rallying cry continued

16:22

to spread.

16:30

Old.

16:33

A new political movement was taking shape

16:35

around the death of Michael Brown, and the beginnings

16:37

of their argument could be heard in the cities

16:39

outside of Missouri, including in

16:42

Washington.

16:42

D c Well right here to

16:45

make a declaration black.

16:57

They argued that black lives mattered,

16:59

and their hands except don't shoot mantra was

17:01

being exported to places like New York City

17:03

and Denver, Coloradoo.

17:10

There have also been protests across the country

17:12

tonight, including in Times Square in New York

17:14

City and in Washington, DC. Finally,

17:17

though, we want to take note of something going viral right

17:19

now, people posting pictures with the

17:21

hashtag hands up, don't shoot

17:24

powerful images from across America.

17:26

These are students at Howard University,

17:28

and it's not just African Americans taking a

17:30

stand. White faces two and white

17:33

hands as well in many of these

17:35

pictures.

17:35

But the problem was that the mantra was

17:38

a complete lie. Michael

17:40

Brown did not surrender to the officer.

17:43

Six days after Michael Brown's death, the

17:45

Ferguson Police chief released the name of

17:47

the officer that shot him, along with the major

17:49

piece of information that the key witness,

17:52

Michael Brown's friend Dorian Johnson,

17:54

left out when describing the event to the press.

17:57

Ferguson Police released the name of that officer, Darren

17:59

will, a six year veteran. Hoping

18:01

to satisfy one of the key demands of the protesters,

18:04

but at the same time, they released video of Michael

18:06

Brown allegedly carrying out a store robbery

18:09

minutes before he was shot and killed. Police

18:12

say these are pictures of Michael Brown minutes before

18:14

he was killed. Security video from a convenience

18:16

store, images showing Brown allegedly

18:19

stealing cigars pushing a clerk.

18:21

Police reports Liz Brown as a suspect

18:23

in a strong armed robbery.

18:25

Just minutes before his death. Michael

18:28

Brown was allegedly involved in a strong

18:30

arm robbery of cigarette shaped cigars

18:32

called cigarellos, and the surveillance

18:35

video was damning. It

18:37

painted a completely different picture

18:39

of the so called gentle giant that the

18:41

media had been portraying. It showed

18:43

the enormous size and strength of Michael Brown

18:46

and his aggressive, even violent

18:48

nature minutes before the shooting. It

18:50

also provided a potential motive for why

18:52

the interaction between Michael Brown and

18:55

Officer Darren Wilson, a decorated

18:57

officer with no history of complaints,

18:59

became deadly, and perhaps most

19:01

importantly, it severely damaged

19:04

the credibility of the main witness, Michael

19:07

Brown's friend Dorian Johnson, who

19:09

left out the strong arm robbery out of

19:11

every early description of the altercation.

19:14

Shortly after surveillance video was released,

19:17

Dorian Johnson's lawyer was asked why

19:19

his client left out this important piece

19:21

of information on this program.

19:23

Your client was interviewed on this very program.

19:26

Yes, and did not mention anything about

19:28

a robbery, nothing about a qt nothing

19:31

at all. All he mentioned was a confrontation with

19:33

police on Campfield Drive.

19:35

That is correct, because that had nothing to do with

19:37

the incident at occurred. The officer did

19:40

not know that they had robbed that plate

19:42

and I robbed I'm sorry, let me take that back.

19:44

The officer did not.

19:45

Know that they had gone into that store

19:47

and taken some of those cigaretlloes.

19:49

He just did not know it.

19:50

But that was not true. Officer

19:52

Darren Wilson did know about the robbery,

19:55

as Ferguson Police made clear earlier

19:57

in the day.

19:58

Now to clarify, we just spoke to Teef Jackson,

20:00

who says that at some point during the encounter,

20:02

the officer did see cigars in Michael

20:04

Brown's hands and thought that he might

20:06

be a suspect in the robbery.

20:15

You may think that most fair minded

20:17

people would find the alleged strong arm

20:19

robbery to be important information, but

20:21

for the black community of Ferguson, Missouri, that

20:24

didn't appear to be the case.

20:25

The police focus on the alleged robbery sparked

20:28

outrage.

20:28

They want to justify they

20:31

are killing that bah homicide as Homogide.

20:33

Brown's parents, through their lawyers, called

20:35

it character assassinations. We believe

20:38

that he is strategically did that to

20:40

assassinate the character of Michael

20:42

Brown.

20:43

The Los Angeles Times even ran with the

20:45

headline quote robbery matters

20:47

little in the shooting death of Michael Brown's

20:49

experts say end quote. The

20:52

collapse of Dorian Johnson's credibility

20:55

underscored the abysmal reporting on the

20:57

story by the mainstream media. In their

20:59

published in with Dorian, CNN,

21:02

MSNBC and local news never

21:04

asked Dorian why officer Wilson

21:06

was only shooting at Michael Brown and

21:08

not at him. If this was a random

21:11

execution, why wasn't Dorian targeted

21:13

as well? And perhaps more importantly,

21:16

why would the officer attempt to pull a

21:18

six foot five, nearly three

21:21

hundred pound man through the window of his vehicle,

21:23

As Dorian claimed the driver's

21:25

area of officer Wilson's vehicle was

21:27

packed with equipment. There was hardly

21:30

enough room for the officer himself. Pulling

21:32

an enormous man into this space made

21:34

absolutely no sense. No

21:36

one appeared to ask Dorian that question,

21:39

and if they did, they never aired it. The

21:42

story Dorian weaved knowing the pure

21:44

size of Michael Brown seemed fatally

21:46

flawed, but the media ran with his

21:49

version almost entirely unchecked.

21:52

Dorian's credibility was further damaged

21:54

when Michael Brown's autopsy showed that he

21:56

was never hit in the back as Dorian claimed.

21:59

It wasn't long until conservative media

22:01

further damaged the credibility of Dorian Johnson.

22:05

About two weeks after the incident that set

22:07

Ferguson ablaze, the Daily Meal reported

22:09

that Dorian was arrested on a warrant for a twenty

22:12

eleven theft. The report cited

22:14

that Dorian was busted for lying

22:16

to the police. With Dorian's

22:18

credibility completely demolished, the

22:21

mainstream media began carting out others

22:23

that claimed to be eyewitnesses to continue

22:25

the narrative that Michael Brown was surrendering,

22:28

and when the eyewitnesses didn't match up cleanly

22:31

with each other At key points, the media

22:33

worked to salvage the narrative.

22:36

I just wanted you to listen to something

22:39

that another witness said on this program,

22:41

Tiffany Mitchell, who approached

22:43

that area in her car and watched

22:46

the entire thing. She never

22:48

had to leave the scene

22:50

for a moment. You lose sight of it as you did. Let's

22:53

listen to what Tiffany Mitchell said.

22:55

Let's listen to this.

22:57

That was a gets out of his vehicle and he pursues

22:59

him. As he's following him, he's shooting at

23:01

him, and Michael Body

23:03

jerks as if he was hit, and then he turns

23:05

around and he put his hands up, and

23:08

the officer continued to walk up on him and shoot him,

23:10

and so he goes all the way down to the ground.

23:12

Michael Brady, is that essentially

23:14

what you saw?

23:15

Well, I said, I really did see

23:18

his hands up.

23:19

I just wanted to see if you heard anything that

23:22

she said. I didn't hear anything that she said

23:24

that differed substantially with what you said,

23:26

and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing

23:28

anything.

23:29

There.

23:36

Protests using the hands up, don't shoot

23:38

mantra continued throughout the nation as

23:41

more reports came out, painting a clearer

23:43

picture of the gentle Giant as

23:46

not so gentle. The New York

23:48

Times reported that Michael Brown dabbled in

23:50

drugs and alcohol, and that he recorded

23:52

rap songs with vulgar lyrics. Some

23:54

included fantasies of murder and violence.

23:58

The report concluded that Michael Brown was quote

24:00

no angel. The

24:03

city of Ferguson was waiting on pins and

24:05

needles as the investigation of Officer

24:07

Darren Wilson came to a close, and

24:10

the result of that investigation would

24:12

set the city on fire again.

24:17

Life can be pretty stressful these days.

24:20

You want to know what makes me feel better?

24:22

Licorice from the licorice Guy.

24:25

Call me crazy, but it's true because I

24:27

love licorice. Longtime listeners

24:29

of Bread Pilled America know that licorice is

24:31

my absolute favorite candy, and the

24:34

very best licorice, hands down, comes

24:36

from the licorice Guy. I know licorice,

24:38

and it doesn't get any better than this. What

24:40

truly sets it apart is its flavor and its

24:42

freshness. The softness of this licorice

24:45

will blow your mind. I've never had

24:47

anything like it. The licorice Guy offers jumbo

24:49

gourmet licorice in nostalgic seasonal

24:52

flavors a red, blue, raspberry,

24:54

cinnamon, watermelon, black, and apple.

24:56

Trust me, they are all delicious. What I also

24:58

love about the Liquorice Guy is that it's an American

25:01

family owned business, and you all know that I'm

25:03

a big proponent of supporting American companies.

25:25

Welcome back to Red Pilled America. So

25:27

in the early days following the death of Michael

25:30

Brown, the media ran with the narrative

25:32

that the unarmed black man was executed

25:34

for no reason by a white officer while

25:36

surrendering. Ferguson, Missouri burned

25:38

based on that narrative. When the credibility

25:41

of the key witness began collapsing, the

25:43

mainstream media worked to continue the narrative.

25:46

Ferguson and the entire nation were

25:48

waiting on pins and needles for the results

25:50

of the investigation into Darren Wilson's

25:52

actions, and when they were finally released,

25:54

the Missouri city where it all started erupted

25:57

again.

26:00

After their exhaustive review of the evidence,

26:02

the grand jury deliberated over two

26:04

days making their final decision.

26:08

They determined that no probable cause

26:10

exists to file any charge against Officer

26:13

Wilson and returned a no true bill

26:15

on each of the five indictments.

26:17

As the news of no indictment reached Michael

26:19

Brown's family outside of the Ferguson Police

26:22

Department, Michael's stepfather had a message

26:24

for the gathered crowd.

26:30

It a

26:33

gard it.

26:36

Hours after the grand Jury's decision

26:38

was made public. Ferguson, Missouri

26:41

erupted.

26:45

Violence comes after grand jury declined

26:47

to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the

26:49

shooting death of Michael Brown. Crowds

26:51

looted many businesses, some burned to

26:53

the ground. Police made more than twenty

26:55

nine arrest in what they call the worst

26:57

night of violence since the August shooting.

27:00

Gunfire rang out in the streets, mobs

27:02

of people destroyed police cars and threw

27:04

bricks at officers, and because

27:06

of the gunshots in the air, the FAA

27:08

rerouted planes.

27:10

On the streets of Ferguson. Protests

27:12

that have been largely peaceful over the last

27:14

few months erupted after the Grand

27:16

jury's decision. Were

27:20

clouds of what appeared to be tear gas

27:22

enveloped the streets. A

27:25

CBS News cameraman took cover in

27:27

a parking lot when gunshots rang

27:29

out around him. Several businesses,

27:31

including cars in this lot, fully

27:34

engulfed in planes, restaurants

27:37

and stores looted. Shop owners

27:40

assessing the destruction.

27:41

He's got anger all over it.

27:43

You know, showcases, folded down,

27:45

glasses everywhere.

27:47

It's not just to take the stuff, it's more to

27:49

do damage.

27:50

The mostly peaceful protests exploded

27:52

into writing worse than the initial days.

27:54

The spun out of control.

27:56

What I've seen tonight is probably

27:58

much worse than the worst night we ever had

28:01

in August, and that's truly unfortunate.

28:03

Outside Ferguson police headquarters,

28:05

anger boiled over. Two police

28:08

cars were set on fire as officers in

28:10

riot gear and armored vehicles attempted

28:12

to break up unruly crowds.

28:14

Oho, you

28:17

need to stop throwing outje.

28:22

The rage lit up other communities as well,

28:24

including New York City, where a new

28:26

movement was capitalizing on the moment.

28:33

NYPD Commissioner Bratton was

28:35

splattered with fake blood on his face

28:37

and suit at a Ferguson protest in

28:39

Times Square. An NYPD spokesman

28:42

confirmed one rest has been made.

28:44

Crowds marched from Union Square, Washington

28:47

Square Park, and throughout New York City in protests

28:49

of the court ruling. Important to note it

28:51

was a peaceful protest, completely

28:54

silent after the verdict. Heir led

28:57

by q TIP.

28:58

The protests and unrest and fergus and forced

29:00

to comment by President Obama.

29:02

First and foremost, we are a nation

29:05

built on the rule of law, and

29:07

so we need to accept that this decision

29:10

was the grand juries to make. There are

29:12

Americans who agree with it, and they are

29:14

Americans who are deeply disappointed, even

29:17

angry. It's an understandable

29:19

reaction, but I join Michael's

29:22

parents in asking anyone who protests

29:24

this decision to do so peacefully.

29:27

This is not the end of this though. There is a Justice Department

29:29

investigation and there could be a civil

29:31

suit.

29:39

Michael Brown supporters were holding out hope

29:41

that Obama's Justice Department would charge

29:43

Officer Wilson with a federal crime in the coming

29:46

months. Surely a black president

29:48

and his black Attorney General would indict the

29:50

white officer. But when Attorney General

29:52

Eric Holder released the DOJ's findings

29:55

in early March twenty fifteen, those

29:57

hopes were also dashed.

29:59

Nearly seven months of passed since

30:01

the shooting death of eighteen year old Michael

30:03

Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. That

30:06

tragic incident provoked widespread

30:08

demonstrations and starred really

30:10

strong emotions from those in the

30:12

Ferguson area and around our nation.

30:15

It also prompted a federal investigation

30:17

by the United States Department of Justice,

30:20

with the Criminal Section of our Civil

30:22

Rights Division, the United States Attorney's

30:24

Office for the Eastern District of Missouri,

30:27

as well as the FBI, seeking to

30:29

determine whether this shooting violated

30:31

federal civil rights law. Now,

30:34

the promise that I made, the

30:36

promise that I made when I went to Ferguson and

30:39

at the time that we launched our investigation,

30:41

was not that we would arrive at a particular

30:43

outcome, but rather that we would

30:45

pursue the facts wherever they led. Our

30:48

investigation has been both fair and

30:51

rigorous from the start. It

30:53

has proceeded independently of the local

30:55

investigation that concluded in November,

30:58

and it has been this

31:01

morning. The Justice Department announced

31:03

the conclusion of our investigation and

31:05

released a comprehensive eighty seven

31:08

page report documenting our

31:10

findings and our conclusions that

31:12

the facts do not support the filing

31:14

of criminal charges against Officer Darren

31:17

Wilson in this case, Michael

31:20

Brown's death, though a tragedy,

31:22

did not involve prosecutable conduct

31:25

on the part of Officer Wilson.

31:27

I concur with the investigative

31:30

team's judgment and the determination

31:32

about our inability to meet the required

31:34

federal standard.

31:36

The DOJ report, along with the Saint

31:38

Louis Grand jury documents, showed that

31:40

the most reliable witnesses, along with the

31:42

forensic evidence, painted a much different

31:44

picture of the death of Michael Brown than

31:47

that promoted by the media. The

31:49

evidence made clear that Darren Wilson was

31:51

justified in using lethal force. On

31:55

August nineth, twenty fourteen, at about

31:57

eleven to fifty three am local time,

32:00

Michael Brown and Dorian Johnson walked

32:02

into Ferguson Market and Liquor, a

32:04

local convenience store. Surveillance

32:06

cameras caught Michael stealing several packages

32:09

of cigarillos, a short, narrow cigar

32:11

about the size of a cigarette, commonly

32:13

hollowed out and filled with marijuana. Michael

32:16

Brown's autopsy would later show he had

32:18

marijuana in his system. When the

32:20

store clerk tried stopping him, Michael

32:22

used his physical size to intimidate the clerk,

32:24

ultimately shoving him out of the way. Shortly

32:27

after the altercation, a witness

32:29

called nine one one, and a dispatch call

32:31

went out over the Ferguson Police radio announcing

32:34

as stealing in progress.

32:36

Okay, we're taking a stealing in progress

32:38

from ninety.

32:38

One oh one was Florisa.

32:40

Nine one zero one was Florida.

32:42

Last subject maybe leaving the business at the

32:44

time.

32:45

Stand by for further.

32:47

An officer twenty five, not Darren Wilson,

32:49

responded to.

32:50

The dispatch, Um clear, I'm right

32:52

here.

32:53

A few seconds later, the dispatcher provided

32:56

more detail.

32:57

Twenty five it's going to be a blackmail and a white

32:59

T shirt. He's running toward quick trip.

33:01

He took a whole box of Swisher cigars.

33:05

Black male, white T shirt.

33:07

That's affirmative, she said.

33:08

He just walked out of the store.

33:10

Roughly four minutes later, another dispatcher

33:13

gives a more detailed description of one of

33:15

the suspects.

33:16

You with another male who's

33:18

got a red cardinal's head, white T shirt, yellow

33:21

socks and chancy shorts. He's walking up

33:23

back to them.

33:24

At the time, Officer Darren Wilson was

33:26

riding solo.

33:27

Actually on my way to go get lunch.

33:29

That's Darren Wilson. Over the

33:31

Ferguson Police radio, Officer Wilson

33:33

asks Officer twenty five and Officer twenty

33:35

two if they need him.

33:37

Twenty one to twenty five or twenty two.

33:40

Moments later, an officer broadcast that the

33:42

suspects disappeared.

33:43

Disappeared into the woodwork.

33:46

Especially really, I couldn't hear him.

33:49

Do you think that they disappeared?

33:53

Then, at roughly twelve oh two pm,

33:55

Officer Wilson sees two individuals.

33:58

I saw them walking in the mill of the street, single

34:00

file on the double yellow

34:02

line. I had stopped in front of them and let them walk up towards

34:04

me. And as they walked up, I had asked Dorian

34:07

Johnson, who was the first one to walk on the sidewalk,

34:10

and his reply was, well, we're almost to our destination.

34:13

And I was like, okay, Well, what's wrong with the sidewalk,

34:16

And then as he passed, he just kept walking ignoring. That

34:18

is when Michael Brown came next, and

34:22

he had exchanged some explicit

34:24

words with me. He had said what

34:27

you have to say. And when I looked at

34:29

him, you know, as law enforcement always trained

34:31

to look at people's hands, at the hands or what will hurt

34:33

you, and I noticed that is right hand

34:36

was full of cigarettes, and it kind

34:38

of all clicked then, you know the call I had heard. I

34:40

was in the city of where they were going. Cigarettes

34:44

were in his hand. Dorian Johnson was wearing

34:46

a black shirt, and that's

34:48

when it hit me that these were the suspects from that stealing.

34:51

So Officer Wilson got back on the police radio

34:53

and asked for.

34:54

Assistance twenty

34:56

one.

34:56

Put me on Canfield with two and send me.

34:58

To her car.

35:00

Michael continued walking down the middle of the

35:02

road.

35:02

I then put the car reverse and I backed up

35:05

just past them and kind of blocked the street

35:07

and them off.

35:08

Officer Wilson positioned his vehicle at an

35:10

angle in an attempt to block them from escaping

35:12

and protect the scene from oncoming traffic.

35:15

And I'd gone to open the door and gather the car. And

35:17

when I did so, as I opened the door, I said,

35:19

hey, come here for a minute. And

35:21

that's when he turned and said, what are you going

35:23

to do about it? And slammed my door shut on me.

35:26

I again taken aback because I've never

35:28

been trapped in my car. I used my door

35:30

to try and push him back and yelled him to get

35:32

back, and again he just pushed the door shut and just

35:34

stares at me. He stares at me, and he's like almost

35:37

over top of me. Luckily, he was trying to intimidate

35:39

me. And as I looked back at MA, all sudden

35:41

punches start flying. He threw the first one that hit

35:43

me in the left side of my face.

35:45

The Saint Louis County Prosecutor highlighted

35:47

swelling on Officer Wilson's face.

35:49

Officer Wilson also had a medical

35:52

examination which indicated some swelling

35:54

and redness to his face.

35:56

And then I don't know what or how

35:58

many hit me after that. I just know those a barrage of

36:00

swinging and grabbing and pulling

36:03

for about ten seconds. I had reached

36:05

out my window of my right hand to grab

36:07

onto his forearm because I was going to try and move

36:10

him back and get out of the car to where I'm no longer trapped.

36:12

And when I felt I just felt the immense power that he had.

36:14

I mean, the way I've described it as it was

36:16

like a five year old hold onto Hokogan. That's just how

36:18

big this man was. He was very large,

36:21

very powerful man.

36:22

Michael Brown had roughly eighty pounds

36:24

in Officer Wilson and the advantage of standing

36:27

outside of the car while the officer was

36:29

sitting trapped in his suv.

36:31

And then as I'm holding him, I see him coming back

36:33

around with his left hand and it's in the shape

36:35

like this, and it comes through the window

36:37

and just a solid punch to the right side of my face.

36:39

I mean, the next thing it was how do I survive? I didn't know if

36:41

I'd be able to withstand another hit like that. I

36:44

mean, he's you hear all the time. One punch

36:46

and someone gets knocked out. And if I'm knocked out, then

36:48

what happens to me? Because then I can't defend myself

36:50

at all. So that was my fear, as if he hits

36:52

me again, will I be conscious after that hit

36:54

to still defend myself.

36:56

In the moment. Officer Wilson said, his training

36:58

just overrode everything. He first

37:00

thought to mace Michael, but he was too close

37:03

and wrisked, incapacitating himself as well.

37:05

The only thing he had left was his firearm, so

37:08

while blocking his face, he withdrew his

37:10

pistol.

37:10

And when I said, I said, get back or I'm going to shoot you. And

37:13

then his response immediately he grabbed the

37:15

top of my gun. And when he grabbed it, he said,

37:17

you're too much a shoot me. And when he

37:19

did that, he had twisted and put it down into

37:21

my hip and had the barrel dug into the

37:23

crease of my and my left hip.

37:26

And while he's doing that, I can feel his hand

37:29

trying to come over my hand and get inside the trigger

37:31

guard and try and shoot me with my own gun,

37:33

And at that point I envisioned a bullet going

37:35

into my leg.

37:36

The two struggled with the gun.

37:38

I didn't have enough strength to pull the gun up, and

37:40

with just one hand, I couldn't maneuver

37:42

it. So I took my left elbow and locked it

37:44

into the back of my seat and I just pushed

37:46

as hard as I could, like this with both my arms and

37:48

I ended up getting it to slide up my leg towards my

37:51

knee, and when it got to you know,

37:53

fully outreached, I had noticed it

37:55

was lined up with a silhouette of his body, and

37:57

that's when I pulled the trigger for the first time.

38:00

Didn't go off.

38:00

The gun was actually being jammed

38:03

by his hand on top of the firearm. I believe

38:05

his finger was blocking the hammer from striking the slide.

38:08

So I tried again and again, another click,

38:10

and this time I this has to work,

38:13

Aughise, I'm you know, I'm gonna be dead. He's gonna get

38:15

this gun away from me. Something's gonna happen, and I'm

38:17

gonna be dead. So I pull a third time and it

38:19

finally goes off. It went into the door. And

38:21

when it went into the door, my window I had been rolled down,

38:23

so the glass from the window then exploded

38:25

out from the door, and when it exploded,

38:28

I just remember seeing a big chunk of glass come over my hand

38:30

and I see blood on my hand, and I

38:32

didn't know what it was from originally, you know,

38:34

later I found out it was actually his blood because I wasn't cut.

38:37

An investigation into the shooting would

38:39

later determine that the blood was Michael Brown's,

38:42

As the Saint Louis County Prosecutor explained.

38:44

The vehicle and Officer Wilson's

38:47

clothing and equipment were examined by various

38:49

technicians and scientists. Mister

38:51

Brown's blood and or DNA

38:54

were located on the outside of the driver's

38:56

door. His blood and DNA

38:58

were also frowned on the outside of the

39:01

left rear passenger door of

39:03

the police vehicle. Mister Brown's

39:05

blood or DNA was found on the inside

39:07

of the driver's door, the upper

39:10

left thigh of Officer Wilson's pant

39:12

leg, the front collar of Officer

39:14

Wilson's shirt, and on Officer

39:16

Wilson's weapon. It should be noted

39:18

that the three separate autopsies were

39:20

conducted, one by Saint Louis

39:22

County Medical Examiner's office, one

39:25

by a private pathologist, and

39:27

one by the Department of Defense Armed

39:29

Forces Medical Examiner. The

39:31

results of all three autopsies are consistent

39:34

with one another in all significant

39:36

respects. Mister Brown had a

39:38

gunshot. Gray's wound of the right hand

39:40

of the right thumb. The path

39:43

of that bullet is away from the tip of the hand

39:45

soot consistent with a

39:48

close range gunshot was

39:51

present inside that wound.

39:53

The shot, leaving the residue on his hand, was

39:55

the first time that Officer Wilson had ever discharged

39:58

his weapon in a confrontation. The

40:00

bullet was found lodged inside Officer

40:02

Wilson's vehicle, as noted by

40:04

the Saint Louis prosecutor, also corroborating

40:07

Wilson's account.

40:08

Additionally, a bullet fired from

40:10

Officer Wilson's weapon was located

40:13

inside the driver's door. The

40:15

shot was fired from inside the vehicle,

40:17

striking the door in a downward angle

40:20

at the arm rest.

40:21

But after the glass flies over, I

40:24

look at him and he kind of backs up about six

40:26

inches to a foot, and it

40:28

kind of startled both of us. We were both

40:30

in shock. That's all I I mean, that's it

40:33

was shocking him to pull it, but it was also at the same

40:35

time, it was shocking that this was the only option

40:37

I had. After I look at him, he's kind of shocked.

40:39

He gets even angrier, his aggression,

40:41

his face the intensity just increases and

40:44

he comes back in at me again. And

40:46

when he comes back in, I just blocked my face again

40:48

and I put my gun up and try to shoot. Well,

40:50

it doesn't shoot that time either.

40:52

His gun jammed again.

40:53

Training just kicked in. I never even thought about this. Just

40:56

your gun jam's a racket. You get a new round in there.

40:59

And when I did that, I was looking

41:01

at him. I was just like racket, expecting

41:03

another hit. And I put my gun up and fired. And

41:06

after I fired that shot, I look over. He

41:08

starts to run and I see the dust cloud behind him,

41:10

and I'm like, okay.

41:11

I missed.

41:11

That was the round didn't hit him.

41:14

Then I go to exit my car, and

41:16

when I'm getting out, I use my walkie and I say shots

41:19

fired. Some more cars and I start

41:21

chasing after Michael Brown. My goal wasn't

41:23

to arrest him. My goal was to maintain visual on

41:25

him. I knew I had backup on the way.

41:27

After a few feet of chase, Michael Brown

41:29

stopped. Officer Wilson said

41:31

he thought the young man was going to get on the ground,

41:34

but he didn't.

41:35

When he stopped, he turned and faced me, and

41:38

the stutter stuff that you sometimes see, like when people start

41:40

to run and they kind of did the hop and then go. He

41:43

does that, and as he does that, his right hand immediately

41:46

goes into his waistband and his left hand

41:48

is a fist at his side and he starts

41:50

charging me.

41:50

As reported by the media, a grand

41:52

jury witness claimed to see the same thing.

41:55

Said a witness, dang, if that kid didn't

41:57

start running at the cop like a football player,

41:59

head down again.

42:01

Darren Wilson, My initial thought was, is

42:03

there a weapon in there? Is there a knife?

42:05

Is there a brick? At what's in their wiser

42:07

hand going there? Or taught to

42:09

let me see your hands. At that time, I gave

42:12

myself another mental check. You can I

42:14

shoot this guy? You know can't legally

42:16

can I? And the question I answered

42:18

myself was I have to. If I

42:20

don't, he will kill me if he gets to me. He's

42:22

ario overpowered me once after

42:25

he's coming at me, and I decided to shoot. I fired a

42:27

series of shots and paused.

42:30

A local resident was chatting on a phone

42:33

app and the service recorded these shots.

42:35

You are pretty.

42:39

I noticed at least one of them hit him. I don't know where,

42:41

but I saw his body kind of just flinch a little.

42:44

And after that I paused and I again yelled,

42:46

you know, stopped ye on the ground, giving him

42:49

the opportunity to stop, and

42:51

he ignored all the commands and he just kept running. And

42:54

so after he kept running again, I shot

42:56

another series of shots, and at least one of those hit him

42:58

because I saw the flinch and he stopped.

43:02

I stopped, correct I stopped, and I said, you know,

43:04

galling around, galling round. Well, this time he's about fifteen

43:06

feet away, so I start backpeddling because

43:08

he's just getting too close and he's still not stopping.

43:11

Officer Wilson said the shots didn't seem to be

43:13

phasing Michael Brown.

43:14

And he was looking through me. And as

43:17

he gets to that fifteen feet after I fired the second

43:19

round of shots, he gets about eight to ten

43:21

feet and as he does that, he kind of starts laying fordle

43:23

He's going to tackle me, And eight to ten feet

43:25

is close. I mean, if he's going

43:27

to tackle me, he's going to tackle me at that point, and

43:29

I looked down my barrel of my gun and

43:32

I fired and what I saw was his head and that's where it went.

43:34

Just okay.

43:37

I get within seconds of the

43:39

last shot. Officer Wilson's backup arrived.

43:42

According to the evidence, they were on site

43:44

in less than ninety seconds from when Officer

43:46

Wilson first radioed for backup. That's

43:49

how quick the altercation escalated.

43:52

Michael Brown was hit with at least six shots,

43:54

all from the front, and the trajectory

43:56

of the head shot indicated that his head

43:58

was angled down, suggesting that he was

44:01

either charging or falling. The

44:03

location of the shots all from the front,

44:05

contradicted several of the key witnesses,

44:08

including Dorian Johnson, who claimed Michael

44:10

Brown was initially shot from.

44:11

Behind and I'm looking on wats' an officer,

44:14

he's pursawing my friend. Now that he fired

44:16

another shot.

44:17

It struck my.

44:18

Friend in the back.

44:19

Some of the shell casings were found within

44:21

a few feet of Michael's body, which

44:23

aligned with Officer Wilson's account that Michael

44:25

got close to him by the final shots.

44:28

But it was this cell phone evidence that would

44:30

show the hands up, don't shoot narrative

44:32

being fabricated real time.

Welcome back to red pilled America. The

45:00

evidence in the case clearly corroborated

45:02

officer Wilson's claim that he shot Michael

45:04

Brown in self defense, but it

45:06

was the cell phone evidence that would show the hands

45:09

up, don't shoot narrative being fabricated.

45:11

Real time onlookers

45:17

who admitted they hadn't witnessed the shooting

45:19

began spreading it throughout the gathering crowd.

45:21

Dead boy, laugh

45:24

from first killed for no reason?

45:26

No thanks,

45:29

I killed that boy, phen you

45:33

talking from firework?

45:35

I heard not this time in the day.

45:38

I'm in a bathroom in a swer You're not. What

45:41

do

45:44

you think?

45:45

Do you see anything that would have caused the

45:47

at They shocked that boy because they wanted to.

45:58

That's up man, the

46:00

Sadie Haight's hands up.

46:01

And nerd though to get out.

46:03

I don't know. I when I heard the gut gus

46:05

shot from m I

46:09

knew something happened. It's too early in the day.

46:12

Police killed them. Police killed

46:14

from Yeah, sady ate his

46:16

hands up and everything.

46:17

It still shot.

46:18

He fell on the ground and stood over and shouting from the.

46:23

Several so called witnesses would also

46:25

later admit that they never actually saw the

46:27

shooting.

46:28

Thousands of pages of documents made public

46:30

turn up several examples of testimony

46:32

with little to no credibility. Witness

46:35

twenty two, whose testimony was

46:37

at first damaging to officer Wilson, admitted

46:40

she lied when pressed by investigators,

46:42

eventually telling the Grand jury quote,

46:45

I just felt like I want to be part of something

46:48

I didn't see what I told the FBI.

46:51

The information in the final DOJ report

46:53

was so damning and coming from the Obama

46:56

administration, they did it forced a high

46:58

profile, longtime proponent the hands

47:00

Up, Don't Shoot hoax, a Washington Post

47:02

reporter to write an op ed admitting

47:04

that it was built on a lie.

47:06

The column is titled hands Up, Don't Shoot?

47:09

Was Built on a Lie, and Washington

47:11

Post opinion writer Jonathan k Part calls

47:13

it the hardest piece he's ever had

47:15

to write. In it, he confronts

47:17

what he calls two uncomfortable truths

47:20

exposed by the Justice Department's extensive

47:22

investigation into last summer's shooting

47:24

of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri,

47:27

the Uncomfortable Truths. He identifies

47:29

first that Michael Brown never surrendered

47:32

with his hands up, and second that

47:34

Officer Darren Wilson was justified

47:37

in shooting him. Jonathan k Part

47:39

joins me. Now, and Jonathan, one of

47:41

the things you write is that what the

47:43

Justice Department found made you ill.

47:46

Why don't you explain?

47:47

Well, there were three things that made me ill. One

47:50

was reading there in black and white that Michael

47:52

Brown and Darren Wilson fought

47:54

inside the officer's suv. The

47:57

second thing was reading

47:59

again in black that DNA evidence

48:01

and ballistics evidence shows that

48:04

Darren Wilson and Michael Brown fought

48:06

over his gun. And the third

48:09

was reading the various witness statements,

48:11

matching those up with DNA evidence

48:14

and the ballistics evidence, and

48:16

finding out with certainty that

48:19

Michael Brown never had his hands up

48:21

in surrender, didn't say don't

48:24

shoot, and in fact

48:26

was moving towards Officer

48:29

Wilson. Putting all of that together

48:32

is what made me ill.

48:53

The narrative that the media had weaved

48:55

was a lie, but

48:59

it didn't matter to a growing new movement.

49:04

Immediately after the Saint Louis County investigation,

49:07

This movement continued to use the mantra

49:09

along with another rallying cry.

49:18

When the DOJ finally concluded that Michael

49:20

Brown was not shot while surrendering, the

49:23

movement just shifted as one of its

49:25

major media supporters admitted.

49:27

The movement moved from hands up, Don't

49:29

Shoot to Black Lives Matter.

49:32

And with that, the Black Lives Matter movement

49:34

had arrived and it was built on a

49:36

lie. Knowing this, how

49:39

did it spread nationally? And

49:41

more importantly, what is BLM's

49:44

goal. We'll answer those questions

49:46

and more on the next installment of Red
