ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday approved a settlement in the wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the parents of Michael Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old, whose fatal shooting by a white police officer nearly three years ago in Ferguson, Missouri, set off months of protests.

Financial terms of the settlement approved by U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber were not disclosed. Anthony Gray, the attorney for Brown's parents, declined comment, as did Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III.

They'll blow ALL of it within 2 years. This IS sickening, though. Disgusting, pathetic, outrageous and downright nauseating. Michael Brown assaulted a police officer and tried to take his firearm. I guess if you're a white cop you're supposed to allow a large black man to steal your weapon and KILL YOU with it?

WTF and I hope Michael ISN'T resting in peace, the filthy thug that he was.

How about if Michael Brown’s family pays a settlement to the police officer he was trying to disarm and kill when he was shot and all of Brown’s other victims of thugishness, like the store owner he pushed around, since that was caused by his lousy upbringing?

That money will go like a brush fire in a drought.

They'll buy a $2 million house and five $200k cars in the first week.

Rob a store, try to kill a cop, and your family ends up rich. That was Obama’s America.

They should not have given a plug nickel to that “family” of a dirtbag criminal. Disgusting.

Insane.

Unarmed my foot. His massive hands, attached to his massive body that reached into the police vehicle, were his weapon.

Yep.

I find it hard to believe that the Obama administration did not have their finger on the scale in this settlement.

whatever the amount is...if it must be paid...first deduction the price of all that destruction to the city and thievery...

it was the Brown family and their cohorts who enticed the rioters to burn down stores and loot...

compensate the store owners and others first..
