MSNBC ‘Hands Up’ Segment with Eugene Robinson Gets Awkward (Mediaite)

A Morning Joe discussion of whether Michael Brown had his hands up during the altercation with Ferguson officer Darren Wilson that led to his shooting death got awkward Tuesday morning, when cohost Mika Brzezinski asked Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson whether he was providing a specific, perhaps untruthful answer to avoid offending people.

“I don’t believe there’s anything in the record, certainly not in the forensic evidence, that precludes the possibility that he had his hands up at some point when he was approaching the officer,” Robinson said.
