Yes. They actually did this.

Because Michael Brown = lynching.

Mike Brown was shot dead in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9, 2014.



Michael Brown robbed a local Ferguson convenience store shortly before his death. Then Brown smashed police officer Darren Wilson in the face, severely injuring Wilson, before he was shot dead.

Today Ferguson protesters took time off from work and held a mock lynching.



Because police brutality = modern day lynching.
