As readers will recall, the black martyr, Michael Brown, committed strong-arm robbery after getting stoned;  then proceeded to walk down the middle of a busy street with his lying (hands up, don't shoot) accomplice;  when a policeman asked them to move to the sidewalk, Brown assaulted the officer and tried to steal the officer's gun;  in the struggle the gun discharged in the officer's car;  then Brown left the car and ran away only to come back and charge the officer;  Brown was shot.

After the incident, the officer had to go into hiding because of numerous death threats;  later, after an investigation which revealed the above-noted facts, it was determined that the officer acted lawfully.

The "protests" referred to in this column also included rioting where black mobs looted and burned numerous stores.

Brown has become one of the many "martyrs" of BLM as well as figures like Colin Kaepernick.
