FERGUSON, Mo. – It has been five years since Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson. In that time, Ferguson has grown as a city. The mayor has said he doesn’t want the anniversary to reopen any scabs. Instead, he hopes the city will continue toward growing stronger together.

As Fox 2’s Katherine Hessel reports, there are several events planned for the anniversary in Ferguson and across St. Louis County.

9 a.m. - Michael Brown Sr. will ask for his son’s case to be reopened. St. Louis County Justice Center in Clayton

11 a.m. - Memorial service Canfield Drive

11:55 a.m. - Moment of silence Canfield Drive

1 p.m. - Community Day Celebration, Sponsored by “The Chosen for Change Foundation” Ferguson Empowerment Center

10 a.m. - National Conference of Ending Violence in America Beloved Community United Methodist Church

9 a.m. - Advocacy Gathering hosted by the “Center for Social Empowerment” St. Stephens Episcopal Church on North Clay

Why not? There is probably a rebuilt part of the city to burn again.

The local TV KDKA (CBS) news in Pittsburgh mentioned this on their morning broadcast. Gay boy news bimbo said:"when Michael Brown Supposedly attacked the officer." Man,the news is hard to watch.

Remembering a petty thug who caused his own demise...his parents never gave a damn about him when he was alive...that was the genesis of Brown’s problems and ultimate death...now mb is a cash cow...

"9 a.m. - Michael Brown Sr. will ask for his son’s case to be reopened."

Yes! I agree. They should reopen it - and get ALL the facts out, especially that video of Brown jr. in the store. Be careful what you wish for, Michael Brown Sr. You just might get it.

The left will take this opportunity to express their collective regret for perpetuating a LIE.

And let's not forget the One who made the lies possible, the chief architect and founder of Black Li{v}es Matter:

Barack Hussein Obama, ummm....ummmmmm......UMMMMMMMMMM!

Another feather in his legacy cap!

How about calling out the fire department for a commemorative street wash-down?

This is part of what is wrong in America.

Yes. And 99% of "that" demographic still thinks O'Bummer was the greatest president in history.

How can a sane nation allow such people to vote?

On any of these....he could have made a different judgement call, and prevented his ‘end’.

I think postponed is a better scenario.

He should have had even more bullets in him. Thief, drug addict and assaulter of convenience store clerks and police officers.

The community is better off without him.

I wish to move back to America. I am looking for an outcrop of what’s left to aim for.

Maybe the media can send their reporters in so they can get mugged as well.

Why would the mayor want to mix union-thug politics in with his racism?

Not to mention that not one but two or more federal investigations into the incident cleared Officer Wilson of any wrongdoing in his actions.


And those investigations occurred during the Obama administration, so nobody can say that biased or racist Trump people working there somehow whitewashed the investigations.
