[PJMedia] Dorian Johnson, the man who helped ignite one of the most destructive hoaxes in modern American history, was gunned down on Sunday morning just a short walk from where his notorious lie was born. Johnson was the sidekick to Michael Brown on that fateful day in Ferguson, Mo., back in 2014. Johnson stepped into the spotlight with a tale destined to tear the country apart. His story of Brown throwing up his hands and crying, "Don’t shoot!" reverberated across the media landscape, sparking riots, police assassinations, and lit the fuse for the radical "Defund the Police" movement. Black Lives Matter used the tragedy to promote the narrative of systemic problems in policing, especially in minority neighborhoods, and it also promoted the idea that social programs could better use the billions of dollars governments spend on law enforcement.
Ferguson became the impetus for the notion that police funding, not criminal behavior, was the real problem. This narrative would grow into a full-blown movement, driving a wedge between public safety and leftist ideology.
It was all based on a lie.
