Michael Brown, who robbed swisher sweets from a convenience store and assaulted a police officer, was shot and killed after attempting to take the officer's gun. The phrase 'Hands up, don't shoot' was later determined to be false by the Department of Justice under Eric Holder. The incident led to widespread riots in 2014 and 2020, fueled by the belief that innocent black men were being murdered by police.

Michael Brown was a menace to society. He was a thief. He tried to take a gun from an officer. Go for someone’s weapon and odds are your ass is getting shot. Brown got what he deserved. Thankfully the officer survived the attack. https://t.co/j5rbCQpBVf
It’s tragic how Mike Brown got shot. It’s also tragic how he victimized other people which led to him getting shot. It’s also tragic how I once got bamboozled by the “hands up; don’t shoot” lie. I’ll be much more guarded in the future. https://t.co/MorLIqY8nI
