FERGUSON, Missouri It has been a month and a day since Michael Brown was shot and killed, his body left for hours in the street like strange, fallen fruit for his loved ones and neighbors to wail over.
Protests, riots and violent clashes with the police have slowly cooled in the St. Louis suburb, but Browns family continues to languish under the weight of an uncertain investigation and the burden of mourning the death of their 18-year-old son both privately and publicly.
Each day it seems to get worse for them, Anthony Gray, a family attorney, told msnbc. Because each day or each event or turn of events it just seems to just take the dagger and drive it even deeper in the heart of this mother and the father.
At least a half-dozen witnesses have come forward and given the media and local and federal investigators accounts of what they saw the Saturday afternoon in which a Ferguson police officer fired nearly a dozen rounds at Brown.
One was just feet away. Others were pulling into driveways, standing outside of their apartments or working nearby.
Each has given a similar account of the shooting, saying that there was a struggle at the officers car, then gunshots trailing Brown as he attempted to run away. At some point, nearly all of them say, Brown turned with his hands up in surrender. The officer kept firing, they say.
A Grand Jury is currently hearing evidence in the case and mulling whether or not the police officer, six-year veteran Darren Wilson, should be indicted in the killing....

Where’s the article about the family of the Army colonel who got killed in Afghanistan aching one month later?
“Michael Browns family aching “
But a large settlement might help to soothe the pain.
Two words:
1: Trymaine
2: Lee
Bias (sadly) explained, methinks...
Did you mean the major general or someone else?
I’m waiting for confirmation of reports that the cop sustained noteworthy...if not serious...injuries during the encounter.I’m also waiting for confirmation of reports that GG had a serious juvenile record.If either one of those two reports are confirmed I’ll be pretty convinced it was justified.If both of them prove true I’ll be unshakably convinced it was justified.
That wouldn't be the same Billie Holiday who spent huge sums on heroin,would it?
No just till Election Day.
There are several versions of “Strange Fruit” available on YouTube. The last one, recorded on TV a few years before her death, shows her voice to be almost gone. Heroin is a harsh mistress.
You’ll wait forever the way things are going:

His death did deprive them of the monthly visitors day!!!
What they’re aching for is the M O N E Y.
When is PAYDAY?!
If your son is killed, it may hurt more to think that he was killed wantonly because of his race. It’s theoretically possible in this case, but I think the weight of the evidence does not support this theory. But the race hustlers become rich and famous by making it a racial issue.
“...his body left for hours in the street like strange, fallen fruit for his loved ones and neighbors to wail over.”
Do they mean the punk that had just man-handled a store clerk and stole some cigars? Shame he couldn’t just load up his ‘blunts’and chillax with his homies.
I think it’s a shame for a young man die. In this case, no doubt he would have become a great rapper, or cure cancer, perhaps invent a perpetual motion machine...
PS - When do they get their M O N E Y ?
It’s hard to keep up the myth.
Heroin is the greates thing ever. Heroin is the worst thing ever. In the opinion of herion addicts.
Don’t raise your kids to be violent thugs, “Trymaine” (WTF kind of name is that?), and they won’t likely wind up dead in the gutter. Live like a thug, die like a thug.
