Black Lives Matter Minneapolis has apologized on its Facebook page after sharing photos of a man who officials say hanged himself in a city park.
The post had sparked social media speculation that the man in the photo was black and that his hands were tied behind his back. Michael Bringle was white.
On the group's page Tuesday night, Black Lives Matter Minneapolis says it retracted its earlier statements after "more information came out & Mr.Bringle's family came forward." The group says "it became clear that this was an unfortunate incident caused by mental illness."
St. Paul police say a passerby discovered the 50-year-old Bringle hanging from a tree early Tuesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police and relatives of a Minnesota man who officials say hanged himself in a city park want the public to stop sharing photos of his death that have sparked social media speculation that he was the victim of a hate crime.
St. Paul police say a passerby discovered 50-year-old Michael Bringle hanging from a tree early Tuesday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports a Facebook post that featured a photo of Bringle included speculation that the man was black and that his hands were tied behind his back. Bringle was white.
The post has been shared thousands of times.
The Ramsey County medical examiner says there's no evidence the death was anything other than a suicide. St. Paul Police Sgt. Mike Ernster called the post disgusting.
Bringle's sister, Kelly Brown-Rozowski, said at a press conference that her brother should be remembered as a kind person and the rumors only compounded their tragedy.

Just drop the agenda, mainstream media. This country would be much more united and peaceful if they would stop making up all these problems and antagonism that we do not actually have.

LOL! Says our number one birther nut!!!
Now that's funny shit right there!
A hollow apology is to easy. It is like the commercial LBJ ran against Barry Goldwater the depicted him as a crazy wanting to start WW III with footage of the atomic tests and putting out a bald faced lie then later putting out and apology says "Sorry the commercial was a lie we just decided would be fun to make we did not actually mean it to be taken as true" Johnson the media darling got away with it just like the BLM is the media darling and gets away with these lies with no consequences because the next lie they put out will also be take seriously by the talking heads. "Hands Up Don't Shoot"
While I am not saying there have not been abuses of power and they should be dealt with and the responsible parties be prosecuted including cops and politics.
There are just as many non white hate groups as white hate groups.
A hate group is a hate group! The media seems to only recognize white groups.
Remember that the democrats are the authors of the Jim Crow laws and desegregation was implemented by Eisenhower but Johnson (a big time racist redneck hick from Stonewall TX) took the credit for it because it got votes.
BLM wants violence for it own purposes, they do not give a shit about black lives or any other life. They care about green to line their pockets just like any other political movement.
All lives matter and ANY murder by definition is a hate crime and should be dealt with the same way: public execution.
I am weary of the bullshit spewing from the electronic talking heads who sit in their offices or studios on college campuses or office building with massive security forces protecting their worthless ignorant rhetoric spouting mouths.

One bit of advice given to me my a college professor is "always use two books: because books lie. If two books agree then you're probably on the right path."
With Journalism this started with the over-reliance on Reuters and Associated Press feeds. Somewhere along the way MSM (and we) forgot how to do real journalism and verify facts. Nowadays MSM seems content to shiver gossip and infotainment on us. Are they made that we don't buy newspapers anymore? The Internet has been disruptive to them and they are amidst and paradigm shift without a clutch. Or that's how I think Groucho might have put it.
I admit to getting sucked into BLM, too. I think it is possible some groups did not like that the discussion on the left was switching from race to class so the BLM boogie man could have been invented. I see the line of reasoning that not race but breakdown of the family post-LBJ's Great Society.
Those who call out people as being racist and those who are actual racists have something in common. They both have egos that are in control of them, and have an insatiable need to label something that is much larger than that person's comprehension. This means the ones who repeatedly label others racist, aren't any better than a racist. True story.
