The ''Fergusen riots''' were one of several [[Marxist]]-inspired uprisings during the [[Obama administraion]].
==Facts==
In the early afternoon of August 9, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri, a city on the outskirts of St. Louis a young black man, Michael Brown was killed by a police officer. Wilson received a call on his radio that a local convenience store had been robbed. He saw two men walking in the middle of a nearby street who met the description of the store thieves. Wilson drove up to them. When he asked the two men to move to the sidewalk, one of the men, Michael Brown, refused. Wilson then attempted to get out of his car, but Brown blocked the door, punching the officer through the open window. Brown tried to grab Wilson’s gun and a struggle ensued. Wilson managed to fire his gun, wounding Brown in
the hand.
After being shot in the hand, Brown ran away from the police car. Wilson got out of the vehicle and pursued him. Brown then suddenly turned and charged Officer Wilson. One witness described the encounter which closely fits the forensic evidence:
{{quotebox|“[Brown] ran towards the officer, full charge. The officer fired several shots at him and… Mike Brown continuously came forward in the charging motion... And when he stopped, that's when the officer ceased fire... When he charged once more, the officer returned fire with, I would say… three to four shots. And that's when Mike Brown finally collapsed."}}
The Brown family’s own medical expert, respected pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, conceded this point. The wounds Brown suffered were consistent with Brown charging toward Wilson, not running away. Brown did not raise his hands above his head and shout, “Hands up. Don’t shoot” as the Black Lives Matter [[urban legend]] claims.
==(nvestigtions===
Federal investigators from the Obama Department of Justice found no credible evidence that Brown ever raised his hands in a “don’t shoot” gesture—or in any way heeded the officer’s commands for him to surrender. The federal report concluded that
{{quotebox|“…witnesses who originally stated Brown had his hands up in surrender recanted their original accounts, admitting that they did not witness the shooting or parts of it…”}}
Investigators also concluded Brown never uttered the phrase. The Obama administration report further states:
{{quotebox|“The media has widely reported that there is witness testimony that Brown said ‘don’t shoot’ as he held his hands above his head. In fact, our investigation did not reveal any eyewitness who stated that Brown said ‘don’t shoot.’”}}
According to witnesses deemed credible by investigators, a [[Grand Jury]], and even eventually the [[United States Department of Justice]] Civil Rights Division, 18 year old Michael Brown was shot 6 times and killed by Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson, MO Police Dept. after Brown assaulted the Officer with a punch to the face from a standing position through the police vehicle window, and attempted to wrest control of the Officer's [[firearm]]. Brown was the main suspect in a strong arm [[robbery]] that occurred moments earlier. Brown was unarmed, and his body lay in the street as Police conducted an investigation lasting several hours.

==Marxist organizing==
Anarchist and top [[Occupy Wall Street]] organizer [[Lisa Fithian]], who orchestrated the 1999 Seattle World Trade Organization riots, trained Ferguson protesters. Fithian says “create crisis, because crisis is that edge where change is possible.”
Fithian echoes Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the creators of the infamous [[Cloward-Piven Crisis Strategy]], who spent decades attempting to provoke poor, inner-city blacks to riot, because as Cloward said, poor people advance only “when the rest of society is afraid of them.”
Rasheen Aldridge was a leader of the Ferguson protests. He has participated in numerous Communist Party USA events in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Another prominent Communist Party member active in BLM protests is Michael McPhearson, who leads the Don’t Shoot Coalition.
[[Carl Davidson]] and Pat Fry, co-chairs of the [[Committees of Correspondence of Democratic Socialism]] (CCDS), exploited the [[revolution]]ary atmosphere of the Ferguson riots to create an eight-point plan for “Left Unity” demanding “a common aspiration for [[socialism]].”<ref>https://www.aim.org/special-report/reds-exploiting-blacks-the-roots-of-black-lives-matter/</ref> The pro-[[China]] [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]] (now Liberation Road) and its allies claim to have brought nearly 10,000 activists into [[St. Louis]], Missouri, to swell the ranks of the rioters.

==Hand up don't shoot myth==
The "Hands up, don't shoot" myth originated with Brown’s companion, Dorian Johnson, immediately after the shooting. Witnesses described him saying, “The police shot my friend and his hands were up.” And the phrase spread quickly throughout the neighborhood, morphing into “Hands up. Don’t shoot.” It was picked up and amplified by the [[CNN]] and other [[fake news]] media outlets and became an anthem for [[Marxist]] activists and [[Black Lives Matter communist organization]].
