A grand jury has decided that police officer Darren Wilson will not face charges for shooting dead unarmed teenager Michael Brown.
After months of waiting, the decision was finally made public late on Monday as the St Louis suburb of Ferguson braced for protests following months of unrest in a case which has become a flash point for race relations in the U.S.
A jury of seven men and five women delivered the verdict that Wilson, a white officer, should not be indicted for shooting the black teen six times on August 9.
Michael Brown's mother collapsed in tears as the verdict was announced - as the victim's stepfather screamed 'Burn this [expletive] down'.
Meanwhile, Wilson's attorneys issued a statement in which he thanked 'those who have stood by his side throughout the process'.

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt
Scamming welfare checks and mixing up “Purple Drank”?
I hate it when things don’t go my way too.....however, I tend to get on with life and STFU.

These “People” are nothing more than hooligans..and people wonder why race relations are so bad..look around, look who is looting, guess what..they are NOT white!! That is because white people don’t riot..the same ones that you see looting Sprint stores and burning down Walgreens wouldnt know who Michael Brown was from a hole in the wall..just like with Rodney King, these same looters would say “Who?” if asked if they are doing this for Michael Brown
Sorry my mistake :-)
Ma’am and Sir, the crowd led you down the garden path and fed you a bunch of baloney you were so eager to believe.
Why don’t you hang it up on lies, for once.
Funny how the rioters conveniently forget this side of their beloved “martyr.”
What are you talking about.This has nothing to do with the Black Churches.
Has she copyrighted her kid’s name for merchandising yet, the way Sybrina Fulton did for Saint Skittles?

What’s wrong is your raising of a drug smoking over large and threatening thug who eventually committed suicide by cop after strong arming a store clerk 40% his size.
Oh well another future prison rat off the public tab!
A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing?
I saw Black Ministers on tv all day, they talked about praying for an indictment of a innocent man.
The black Church supports abortion and a host of other anti Christian positions...THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIAN PERIOD.
This has everything to do with the black Church, they trampled on their rich Christian heritage back in the 60`s, they spat on Jesus when they embraced the anti Christian Democrat party.
Besides remember this nasty fight between Michael Brown's mother and grandmother over the sales of "I am Michael Brown T-shirts? She wasted no time getting a patent on that little racket. Goes to show the sh!t doesn't fall far from the bat.
Is there “a white church”?
Maybe Herman’s Hermits should record a remake.
“Mrs. Brown you had a thug for a son.....”
exactly...and the next person that says ...oh these people that did the damage are out of towners...what a lie
Not sure what they are asking for...sounds like they want to make crime legal
I am speaking of the ALL Black Church...once you support abortion you become non Christian
I say the very same thing about liberal Catholics and liberal protestants etc
Black Conservative Christians do NOT attend the ALL BLACK non Christian Churches.
Any church that votes democrat is a non Christian Church,period
Once a Church supports abortion they spit on Christ and its really just a social club were you meet on Sunday
