Celeb News: "Katy Perry and others lied about Ferguson"

Quote:

On Wednesday, Breitbart News editor-at-large Ben Shapiro released a new video delving into the grand jury testimony in the case of Officer Darren Wilson – and finding that “the community of Ferguson, Missouri did make this problem up.” Shapiro points out that celebrities have rushed to Twitter and the microphones to perpetuate those lies:
[E]vidence has never stopped people like Cher, who tweeted, “Something must b done 2 protect innocent young blk men.” Or Moby, who tweeted that “Darren Wilson chased Michael Brown and murdered him.” Or Serena Williams, who tweeted, “Wow. Just wow. Shameful. What will it take???” Or Katy Perry, who said, “praying for an equal America,” or Macklemore, who said “No justice,” and tried to block the I-5 in Seattle.

I don't know what to think about this situation but I've been barely following it. It's like half of the population thinks it was just self defense and the other half thinks it's murder. My brain hurts just thinking about it.

I think he believes that the victim is wrongly being defended since he "robbed a store and wasn't necessarily innocent."

Unfortunately Mike Brown never robbed a store, the footage was not him nor in the same month as his arrest (whoever it was), and Mike Brown was stopped for JAY WALKING
And he was shot 148 (possibly 35?) feet away

the #lotus is going through rough conditions. Well soon emerge

I hate when politics get involved in situations like this. You get two sides that will do anything to discredit the other and prove they're right no matter what.

He's obviously just using celebrities for views, it's sleazy when you have a situation like this.

I'm never one to defend Katy, but "Breitbart News" is a crazy Tea Party propaganda organization, who is racist as all get out, and they have absolutely no credibility. The fact that a thread was made with this as the source is comparable to using some random blog or a celebrity trash magazine who uses "sources close to the star", etc. This is just absurd.

Doesn't seem to be taken seriously. Just the case of current events+pop stars mentioned makes it relevant enough to be posted here, therefore making us discuss the situation

Boom clap, the sound of #racism
