St. Louis (CNN) -- The funeral of slain Ferguson, Missouri, teenager Michael Brown was a celebration of his life, a search for meaning in his death and a battle cry to change policing in America.
The Rev. Al Sharpton delivered one of two eulogies during the service, and he had sharp words for those who looted stores and rioted after the teenager was shot.
"You don't understand that Michael Brown does not want to be remembered for a riot. He wants to be remembered as the one that made America deal with how we're going to police in the United States."

..."Michael was a big guy, but he was a kind, gentle soul, and before he left this Earth, the day that he was killed, he was out spreading the word of Jesus Christ," a family friend said.
By robbing a store, assaulting a store clerk then attacking a policeman?
Not the same Jesus I know...

Maybe he was spreading the word of the local MS13 leader, Jesus Christobal Garcia.

Saint Michael’s rap “songs” are online for anyone to hear, and I can assure you that they do not proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It would be nice if there was a call for respecting the property of others and maybe for encouraging an end to the gimmedat attitude.

I’m wondering what their bullet point list of “changes” to the society would be...
They probably really haven’t thought about it.

What kind of social change are we talking about? Not robbing stores or doing drugs, getting through school and getting a job, that kind of social change? Men marrying women and staying there to raise the children kind of social change?

What exposed this whole thing as the farce it is, is when the store robbery video came out and they complained “the cops are trying to make him look bad.”

Does “Social Change” mean being allowed to rob and assault?
