“A white California man who told cops he’d been shot by a black man has confessed he made the entire story up and had actually fired the gun at himself.

Officers found Brent Thomas Posada suffering from gunshot wounds at his Redding home at 8:18 p.m. on Feb. 1.

The 34-year-old claimed a black man had approached him and pointed a gun at his head.

Posada alleged that, when he pushed the suspect’s arm to the side, the gun went off. A bullet struck him in the stomach, he added.”* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
