Original Note:
After the death of Michael Brown in 2014, "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" became a refrain in protests of police violence. While investigation showed Brown's hands were not up when he was shot, he was unarmed. The US Justice Department criticized the police response to protests. https://www.npr.org/2015/08/08/430411141/whether-history-or-hype-hands-up-dont-shoot-endures https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf
