Fact checkers dispute the claim Michael Brown was murdered. FactCheck: "Wrong" https://www.factcheck.org/2019/08/harris-warren-wrong-about-brown-shooting/ Washington Post: "4 Pinocchios" https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/08/13/harris-warren-ignore-doj-report-claim-that-michael-brown-was-murdered/ The DOJ concluded officer Wilson acted in self defense. See pages 80-82 in the report. https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/04/doj_report_on_shooting_of_michael_brown_1.pdf The county prosecutor also investigated but did not charge. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/us/michael-brown-darren-wilson-ferguson.html
