 Don Lemon Tries to Rewrite the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” Myth in Absurd Knock on Elon Musk  (VIDEO)

Earlier this week Elon Musk admitted on Twitter that “Hands up, Don’t shoot” was a myth pushed by the liberal media.

Elon rightly pointed out, “According to Obama’s DoJ the Ferguson shooting was unequivocally self-defense. so the Ferguson protests were – if you believe Obama’s DoJ – based on a false premise.”

This statement of fact caused CNN propagandist Don Lemon to suffer a meltdown on live TV.

Don Lemon somehow justified the lie by pointing out that a DOJ report on the Ferguson Police Department found that three offensive emails were sent out out by members of the police department to their friends in their extensive investigation.  At the time there were 74 employees at the Ferguson Police Department. Three sent out offensive emails. That is 4% of the police force. And Eric Holder used this to claim racism is endemic in the department.

Don Lemon repeated this lie again this week to defend the “hands up, don’t shoot” lie.

Lemon called the “hands up, don’t shoot” meme a righwing talking point.

CNN is actually promoting Don’s segment.

Oh, don’t forget, and CNN promoted the myth on their channnel!

“So remember, ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ after Ferguson became a nationwide protest symbol for police mistreatment of minorities. It was about more than the shooting of Michael Brown. It
