Full Title: Ferguson unveils permanent Michael Brown memorial plaque to be drilled into the road where he was shot dead on the day he would have turned 19

Michael Brown Sr unveiled steel and gold plaque on what would have been his son's 19th birthday

He acknowledged the makeshift memorial of toys and flowers was a safety hazard and helped to remove it

The mayor told crowds the plaque will be drilled into the road as they resurface Canfield Drive

Brown was shot dead on August 9 by white police officer Darren Wilson and sparked Black Lives Matter movement

A permanent plaque has been unveiled to honor Michael Brown, the black 18-year-old who was shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson last August.

The steel and gold plate will be drilled into the road on Canfield Drive where Brown was shot, replacing a makeshift memorial of flowers and toys, which had become a safety hazard.

It features an engraving of the teenager in his graduation mortar board, with a message that his family 'would like the memory of Michael Brown to be a happy one.'

I don't think I'm supposed to defecate in public.

What will the plaque say? "Criminal thug attacked an LEO and was shot dead here"

The lessons blacks teach their children:

"if you commit 2 felonies in 10 minutes including attacking a police officer, you might come to a bad end."

"If you are arrested 30+ times, sooner or later things are not going to turn out well for you."

"Gentle Giant"

"hands up, don't shoot"

"It's ALL whitey's fault"

We now honor and revere criminals with great pride.

They do. I don't.

I’ll save some of my neighbor’s dog leavings to decorate the plaque.
