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.'

Ferguson people have the nation’s worst case yet of “white guilt”.

This could be done pretty easily in a black and white silhouette.

If that brings God no joy, why should it bring you joy?

Unless you are on the side that recruited him to that hell, that is.

I think that every worthless thug, criminal, etc, should be memorialized by a permanent marker so that we would all be aware of HOW DAMNED MANY OF THESE ANIMALS WERE PERVADING OUR SOCIETY.

When was a death sentence passed down from a tribunal here? I must have missed it.

You know how the justification is to “stop” — to “kill” is not in it, though that may be an unfortunate side effect.

Would they built a statue if he would have killed the cop?
