Imagine my surprise when I went to sign-in to Twitter today and one of the pictures rotating before I was able to login showed a bunch of people with their "hands up" in front of the St. Louis Gateway Arch.

"Hands Up, Don't Shoot …" Hadn't the Department of Justice's largely ignored report exonerating Officer Darren Wilson basically shown the whole Ferguson narrative of the "Gentle Giant" Michael Brown's final moments on earth to be a huge lie?

Why yes, yes it did.

Take a look at two incredible passages from the "Department of Justice Report Regarding the Criminal Investigation into the Shooting Death of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri Police Officer Darren Wilson," which showcases the absurd lies the mainstream media completely bought and then sold to the American people as the absolute truth of what occurred in Ferguson.

The first passage details "Witness 120" lying to the police about what happened in Ferguson, claiming Brown had his hands up and was "executed." Notice how the DOJ report uses actual physical evidence to dismiss as false a claim the media (I'm looking at you, CNN, New York Times and MSNBC) immediately ran with as truth:

Witness 120 initially told law enforcement that he saw Brown shot at point-blank range as he was on his knees with his hands up. Similar to Witness 138, Witness 120 subsequently acknowledged that he did not see Brown get shot but "assumed" he had been executed while on his knees with his hands up based on "common sense" and what others "in the community told [him.]" There is no witness who has stated that Brown had his hands up in surrender whose statement is otherwise consistent with the physical evidence.

Something tells me the DOJ or the St. Louis County prosecutor's office will not be looking to charge Witness 120 with perjury, though Witness 125 was offered immunity if she recanted a lie she told the FBI and SLCPD detective – a lie she told because she claimed "she wanted to be part of something":

When Witness 125 appeared at the St. Louis County Prosecutor's Office to testify before the county grand jury, she was accompanied by an attorney. Prior to her testimony, Witness 125 told the county prosecutors that she lied to the FBI and to SLCPD detectives. Witness 125 was then given immunity from federal prosecution for making material false statements to federal agents so long as she testified truthfully in the grand jury. She testified that she did not, in fact, witness any part of the incident, but claimed she did so because she wanted to be "part of something." She claimed that a friend in the community told her to tell the SLCPD and the FBI what her boyfriend saw, but to claim it as her own.

So a "friend in the community" told her to lie to federal authorities about Brown having his hands in the air when Wilson shot him, all because she "wanted to be part of something."

And now, when I try and log into Twitter, I'm confronted with an image of hundreds of people with their hands raised to the heavens, falsely paying homage to a martyr completely created by outright lies from "witnesses" whose fabrications could have sent an innocent man to jail.

Worse, the media bought those lies and were instrumental in perpetuating this false narrative in Ferguson and throughout the country, which has led to an incredible drop in real estate value for homeowners in the city and an exodus of businesses (K-Mart, Big Lots and Toys R Us).

But it's not just confronted with the gratuitous lie of "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" when logging on to Twitter; every Twitter user in America will potentially see this emotionally charged image before they log on – an image motivated entirely by a lie, kept alive by people who truly don't care about truth but are instead influenced by a desire for revenge.

Read what one person told the New York Times:

"To me, he had his hands up," said Michael T. McPhearson, co-chairman of the Don't Shoot Coalition in St. Louis. "It doesn't change it for me."

It should be noted the New York Times bylined piece (by Jack Healy, Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Vivian Yee) included this shocking quote in the fourth paragraph, attempting to still keep alive a small tinder of doubt regarding "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" so that it can ignite Ferguson all over again: "The Justice Department said it may not have happened that way."

Sorry.

The Justice Department report is quite clear that it didn't happen the way the New York Times writers imagine it to have happened. Brown charged at Wilson, attempted to get the latter's gun and, if successful, likely would have murder him.

End of story.

But, Twitter seems to be in the same boat as the New York Times, leaving the door of doubt open on the story of "Hands Up, Don't Shoot," seemingly hoping someone kicks it back open to ignite another round of hostilities.

To stop the lies, join me in demanding Twitter remove the image of "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" from the sign-on screen a user views before logging on to the site.

It needs to come down.

Immediately.

It's time former Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson got some justice for once.
