Ferguson, Mo. police Chief Tom Jackson said Tuesday that his department is investigating whether the stepfather of Michael Brown intended to incite a riot after a grand jury decided not to indict the white police officer who fatally shot the unarmed teenager.
The New York Times had published video last week that showed Brown’s stepfather, Louis Head, consoling Brown’s weeping mother, Lesley McSpadden, before turning to the crowd around him and yelling “Burn this motherfucker down! Burn this bitch down!”
About 25 structures in Ferguson, including at least 14 businesses, were set ablaze in the widespread unrest that followed the announcement.
Jackson said police have been interviewing people who were with Head the night the grand jury decision was announced and intend to speak with Head himself soon, according to CNN. No charges have been filed.
The news outlet had not reached Head for comment.
“Ferguson, Mo. police Chief Tom Jackson said Tuesday that his department is investigating whether the stepfather of Michael Brown intended to incite a riot…”
We can all take comfort knowing that should he be subject to a grand jury presentment, the prosecutor will make certain they hear all the evidence.
Yeah, right.
You can bet that McCulloch will indict him with or without a Grand Jury.
they killed his family, and now they want to go after him for being upset about it…how much injustice must a man face before he’s allowed to be upset about it? #freedom
Of course they are, because black people.
Nothing could possibly be better designed to calm the unrest in Ferguson than lynching Brown’s stepdad, right?
Teatroll Rosetta Stone says: “That’ll teach 'em. We’re gonna make an example out of this dirty fucking n-bomb and scare them all back into their hovels. Sometimes you gotta just remind the uppity sons of bitches who their betters are.”
And before I forget:
Guess which way the mostly white grand jury will vote on THIS one.
Guess…
Edit: In fact, I’ll be surprised if they even bother with one.
