Dorian Johnson is dead.

Who, you ask, is Dorian Johnson? Johnson was the man with Big Mike Brown, the "gentle giant" who beat up a store clerk to steal some cigars then assaulted Officer Daron Wilson in Ferguson Mo., leading to his Brown's shooting death and massive rioting that kicked off the Black Lives Matter movement in 2014.

Johnson was shot to death in the same neighborhood as Brown. (If  Ferguson is such a black-hating hellhole why didn't Johnson move out?)

Johnson was a terrible witness whose story changed every time he told it, yet it was his claim Brown was surrendering and said "hands up - don't shoot" that became the motto of the BLM rioters. The fact is he did NOT have his hands up; he punched officer Wilson in the face through the open window of his squad car and then tried to grab his gun. Failing that (and the discharge of the firearm in the car) he retreated a few steps and turned around. Since Johnson was sneaking up behind Officer Wilson the poor outnumbered policeman had little choice but shoot.

A crowd gathered immediately and the crime scene became so unsafe the coroner's meatwagon refused to enter, and so Brown's body laid in the street for several hours. This was, of course, spun to say they had so little respect for Brown they just let him lie like a dog. The fact is the sitauation was far too dangerous with an angry mob milling about; the police made the right call.

So this should illustrate to everyone that Johnson and Brown were not innocent victims but thugs who thought they could get away with assaulting a cop.
