How many times does someone have to lie to you before you call them a liar?

How many times does someone have to lie to you before you call them a liar?

One? Five? Twenty?

It seems like many Americans are okay being lied to over and over and over again.

Here’s just one example.

Michael Brown was a young black teenager—a “gentle giant”—who, on August 9th, 2014, during a routine police stop in Ferguson, Missouri, raised his hands and pleaded for his life as he looked down the barrel of racist white police officer Darren Wilson’s gun. Brown famously held his hands up and yelled, “don’t shoot,” before he turned and ran.

Wilson shot him six times in the back, killing him, dead.

If you bought that, you bought a lie.
