FERGUSON!!!
Am sure by now you all have heard about the almighty Ferguson verdict. Anyways the Grand Jury decided not to convict the policeman who shot dead African American unarmed teen, Michael Brown. So... here's what his parents had to say about the verdict.
After spending months appealing for calm, Micheal Brown's family could not hide their anger last night when it was announced that the grand jury had decided not to charge Officer Darren Wilson.
Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, stood sobbing and screaming on top of a car with her husband and friends outside Ferguson police department.
She wore a button pinned to her chest that read 'Indict Now and a white hat with a photo of her son which called for 'Justice for Mike Brown.'
'They wrong!' she yelled, pointing toward the police station. 'You all know, you're all wrong!'
Although she wore sunglasses, her anger and devastation were clear as tears ran down her face.
'Everybody wants me to be calm. You know what them bullets did to my son!'
'They still don't care!' she screamed as she threw her arms in frustration. 'They never going to care!'
She then buried her face in her the chest of the victim's stepfather, Louis Head, who wore a t-shirt reading: 'I am Mike Brown.'
He turned around to the incensed crowd and screamed: 'Burn this b**** down'.
As the roaring crowd began to surge forward, the pair were both whisked away by supporters.
McSpadden had found out the news in a hotel room where she waited with her family and their attorney.
