The Rev. Al Sharpton is expected to hold a four-day tribute for the death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson at the end of this month.
Sharpton will be in the Missouri town from October 31 to November 4 in reference to the four hours that the teenager's body was left lying on the street.
Sharpton is leading a wave of outcry after a Friday report suggested that investigators do not have enough evidence to charge a police officer over the shooting of Michael Brown.
Details revealed by the New York Times included the first account of the shooting to come from Darren Wilson - who says he struggled with Brown in his squad car and shot the teen when he grabbed for his gun.
Experts told the paper that they believe investigators do not have the evidence to prosecute Wilson on federal civil rights charges - meaning a grand jury could soon decide Wilson should not be tried over the killing.
In his own version of events, the police officer told a grand jury he opened fire because the teenager was attacking him and he feared for his life.
Wilson insists Brown viciously launched through the window of his police car, punching and scratching him repeatedly.
Police officers are generally given more scope for lethal force if they reasonably believe that their life is in imminent danger.
Eventually, Wilson said, he pulled his gun from the holster on his right hip, fired two shots, and one hit Brown's arm - leaving his blood smeared inside the car and on his uniform....

There have been quite a few cops who've been killed by their own gun after some nut grabbed it and used it on the cop. Brown was probably trying to do the same thing.
I think so too.
When you attack the police, sometimes YOU DIE.
It should read Al Sharpton Returns to draw attention to Al Sharpton.
xlnt
Rev-em-up Sharpton.
Another day without a peep from Jesse. One would think he’d be in front of the cameras when Louise et al were cleared.
I think he’s working the Liberian/Ebola/racism angle right now in Dallas.
Well, it IS Halloween. You kind of expect ghouls to show up around this time of year.
Al Sharpton is returning to Ferguson for four days in order to draw national attention to Al Sharpton.
Does anyone here believe Sharpton is even literate? Honestly, I’m not sure he can even read...even at a 5th grade level.
Every word in the title after “national attention” is superfluous.
Nah, he’s just coming to make sure the proper “monuments” to St Blunt and St Skittles are built, and that as many Whiteys and LEOs are sacrificed upon the Altar of Racism. Aloha Snack-Bar!
LOLMAO!
He was a mite bigger than 292lbs. He could have fed a small African village to 1-2 months.
His polyester track suit and gold chain medallion were pure sartorial genius. Made a helluva target; surprised no one capped his ass.
What kind of mother would name her son “Unarmed Teenager”?
Of course they will ... they're part of the same leftist machine.
