      The same folks who spread misinformation about Jazmine Barnes being killed by a white guy earlier this year are spreading conspiracies about Joshua Brown's murder and it's amazing how many people are falling for it.

      The idea that Dallas PD is behind this would mean Dallas PD arranged a fake drug deal worth upwards of $30k, then arranged a fake shoot-out in which both Brown and one of the assailants were shot, then arranged a fake confession at the hospital from one of the assailants. ....

      I have no opinion on the Brown case pending further investigation but you really should read up on the long & elaborate history of police corruption in America. Here's on entry point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampart_scandal …

          Or just look back two years ago and the Gun Task Force in Baltimore. To disregard all of this is to reveal how much one isn't a journalist or careful thinker, just a feckless toady for demagogues. https://news.baltimoresun.com/cops-and-robbers/part-one/ …
