Witnesses at the time claimed Brown had his hands up when he was shot and killed by Officer Darren Wilson, leading to the "Hands up, don't shoot" mantra that marked protests at the time. However, subsequent investigations, including by the Obama administration's Department of Justice, revealed corroborated Wilson's account of the story that he acted in self-defense when he killed Brown.

Conservative commentators on social media also recalled a different narrative about Brown’s death nearly 10 years ago.
