The tweets discuss the controversial case of Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. The tweets highlight that Brown had robbed a convenience store and attacked the officer, with some claiming he attempted to take the officer's gun, resulting in gunpowder residue on his hand. The Obama-era Department of Justice (DOJ) investigated the incident and concluded that the shooting was justified. The tweets criticize the NAACP and others for portraying Brown as a victim, suggesting that such portrayals exacerbate racial tensions. Michael Brown would have been 28 today, and Darren Wilson, the officer involved, was never indicted.
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
Michael Brown was a thug who robbed a grocery store and attacked the police officer who showed up by going for his firearm. Obama’s own Justice Department found the officer’s shooting to be completely justified. He had it coming, and posting a picture of the barely literate… https://t.co/KBmMrjKmgG
Hey @NAACP, why don’t you celebrate a genuine black man of character and accomplishment instead of a thief who initiated a fight with police and reached for an officer’s gun. Also, the Obama DOJ determined that the police response was warranted. https://t.co/5FusyPpx4L
'Black people continue to be targeted by police who view us as a threat.' He said, defending a young black man who was killed while violently assaulting a police officer after violently assaulting a shop owner he was stealing from. https://t.co/VHAcnyBlkU
Michael Brown, on film, brutally assaulted a shop owner he was stealing from, then assaulted a police officer who defended himself. How do you imagine you'll reduce the image of black men as a threat by turning a violent man into a martyr simply because he was black? https://t.co/VHAcnyBlkU

Michael Brown robbed a store and then reached for an officer’s weapon. LIFE HACK: If you don’t want to leave a police encounter in a body bag, don’t reach for a weapon. Better yet, don’t commit a robbery to begin with. https://t.co/muHG5GkcKN
But instead he chose to steal from a convenience store and then, per multiple independent forensic reports including one from the Obama DOJ, was proven to have gone for a cop's gun while trying to murder a cop resulting in gunpowder residue on his hand. Have you tweeted for… https://t.co/v98rxuPp38

Michael Brown robbed swisher sweets from a convenience store, assaulted a police officer, tried to steal his gun, charged at him before being shot and killed, and "Hands up don't shoot" was determined to be a lie by Eric Holder's DOJ. https://t.co/9hiYbwXkDk
Criminal Michael Brown authored his own demise when he attacked a police officer. For the @NAACP to be suggesting that he is a victim of violence and not a perpetrator of it is an unconscionable act of anti-white racism. Shame on them. https://t.co/89gnlHrtnC
Michael Brown should be 28 today. And 1—Darren Wilson STILL not indicted 2—DW’s police report STILL blank 3—STILL a local cover-up 4—DOJ report still a copy & paste of #3 5—That used fake witnesses (like #40) 6—Ignored ONLY real-time witnesses “He fucking had his hands up!” 👇 https://t.co/mgGxNsvM6y
This is deranged and needlessly ramps up racial tensions. The shooting was justified according to the evidence. This case was always filled with lies, such as the claim Brown had his hands up, or that he was shot in the back. Both false. The Obama-era DOJ investigated this and… https://t.co/nf5o7XOIc1
This is deranged and needlessly ramps up racial tensions. This case was always filled with lies, such as the claim Brown had his hands up, or that he was shot in the back. Both false. The Obama-era DOJ investigated this and concluded the same. Stop trying to divide us along… https://t.co/nf5o7XOIc1
Michael Brown made a series of choices. He chose to rob a convenience store. He chose to attack the cop who tried to arrest him after he robbed the convenience store. Few killings have been as exhaustively investigated. His death was justified. https://t.co/xvoB3fHUsQ
