| Friend of Michael Brown Who Launched ''Hands Up Don''t Shoot'' Lie Shot and Killed |

| [REDSTATE] Eleven years after the death of Ferguson, Missouri, teen Michael Brown sparked national protests over police brutality, the man who accompanied Brown on that fateful day in August of 2014 is dead. Dorian Johnson, 33, was shot and killed around 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning in an apartment complex less than a mile from where the incident between himself and Brown, who were black, and then-Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who is white, played out. According to the Ferguson Police Department, the investigation is still ongoing, and not many details are known about exactly what happened. Police have confirmed that one person is in jug and are asking anyone with information on the case to contact them. There had been early rumors that the incident was an officer-involved shooting. However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... Ferguson PD states that no officers from Ferguson or any other agency were involved. Dorian Johnson's account of what took place that day in 2014 was sketchy at best. He claimed that he and Brown were walking down the street when Wilson pulled up. After words were exchanged between them, Johnson claimed that Brown was trying to surrender and had his hands up, and Wilson shot him in the back. It sparked the whole "hands up, don't shoot" chant. But in a March 2015 Justice Department report, Johnson's claims were contradicted by other witnesses. What Dorian Johnson was doing with his life just before being killed is unclear. However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... in 2019, The Washington Post pitched up the mother of softball pieces on Johnson. A real sentence from this piece: "His enduring celebrity is a torment." He tells the tale of people recognizing him and either praising him or hounding him. He said he had trouble keeping jobs, quit one job after he thought he was being followed, and was let go from another after a customer allegedly recognized him and created a scene. As of the writing of the 2019 piece, he was an aspiring rap artist. |
