There is a new video circulating FB and some other social networks. In it is a beating of an older man by what people say is Michael Brown. The video is NOT MIKE BROWN and it has been proven while FB attempted to get ahold of the video and ban it from their servers. Unfortunately several copies were made while racists run around the net republishing the video to spread their hate. You should know right now - taking part in this activity is illegal. ============================= Origins: On 9 December 2014, a Facebook user named Shawn Spall posted a video purporting to be footage of Mike Brown (the teenager shot and killed by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri) brutally assaulting a much older man over the theft of a backpack. The source of the video was not disclosed by its original poster, and later the same day that user either removed or restricted the video after it had been shared tens of thousands of times. Subsequently, several copies (with explicit language) of the video were re-posted to YouTube (as seen in the Example block above). After the originally circulated clip was deleted by its original poster, users who had shared the video mistakenly assumed it had been deliberately deleted by Facebook in an attempt to conceal the truth: WOW FACEBOOK TOOK DOWN THE PRIVATE HOME VIDEO I HAD ON MY PAGE OF MIKE BROWN BEATING AN OLD MAN AND ROBBING HIM OF HIS BACKPACK! ITS HAS MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED OFF EVERYONES PAGE THAT SHARED IT. I REMEMBER OVER 30,000 SHARES AS OF YESTERDAY AROUND 5PM CST WHEN i FIRST SHARED IT. WE NEED TO ASK OURSELVES, WHY WOULD FACEBOOK WANT THIS KID TO BE SEEN AS A MARTYR? WHY WOULD THEY SENSOR THIS INFORMATION? WE ARE BOMBARDED EVERYDAY BY JIHAD VIDEOS AND STUPID PET TRICKS BUT WE CANT SHOW THE TRUTH ABOUT A PUNK THAT IS BEING HELD AS A CIVIL RIGHTS HERO? YOU SUCK FACEBOOK!!!! However, when a person removes or restricts content that was once publicly available, all shared copies are subject to the new restriction. As such, the original poster (and not Facebook) was responsible for the videos disappearance, and he provided no explanation for its sudden removal. Still images taken from the grainy video suggested the individual depicted was not Brown. Mike Brown stood at between 64 and 65, and even at 18 was uncommonly tall among American men. The person depicted in the circulating footage does not appear to be nearly as tall as Brown was, by a good margin. ======================= AGAIN - the video IS NOT MIKE BROWN and taking part in these lies and promotion of this video is ILLEGAL ======================= When you people attempt to spread lies, hate and racism - YOU should get your facts straight and you should know that, in such a volatile case you are taking part in something very illegal.
