Michael Brown Sr. Speaks At Memorial Parade

But contrary to last july, if police skilled even pleasant strikes by having batons, draw air and latex bullet points in the effects of rioting and flammable that often rip apart the St. Louis commune of 21,000 people at large, this period of time cops saw gently but doesn’t speak up.

Several weekend events are planned to commemorate Brown’s death, Among them was a parade on Saturday led by Michael Brown Sr., starting at the memorial on Canfield Drive in Ferguson that marks the site where Brown was fatally shot by former officer Darren Wilson on August 9, 2014. Our city government has not become any more communicative.

On the eve of the anniversary of Michael Brown being shot and killed during a confrontation with a police officer, Brown’s father said Saturday that the family is still mourning the 18-year-old’s death.

In November, although, after a Missouri grand jury determined to not indict Wilson, automobiles have been vandalized, photographs fired and companies burned – together with her personal.

Brown and his closest supporters wore t-shirts bearing a print of a widely circulated photograph of his son wearing high school graduation robes. “I’m thinking, ‘My God, these people don’t even know me, ‘” Morris says.

The Ferguson police, she says, are making “constructive modifications” however “nothing occurs in a single day”. “There’s some families that have got justice off Michael Brown Jr’s legacy, and that helped them. No. We have got a variety of work to do, however this metropolis is shifting in the correct path, and I feel anybody who’s being goal and truthful can see that”. His death led to a wave of protests and riots that rippled out from the St Louis suburb across the US.

“Our job now is to listen”, Sergeant Fuller said. The shirts also featured the slogan “chosen for change”, which is also the name of a nonprofit foundation established by Brown in his son’s memory that aims to “empower youth and strengthen families”. They could be better. “No stupidity, so we can just have some kind of peace”.

While much of the spotlight last year was on black residents’ mistrust of the predominantly white police force, Davis says there are new fractures among white residents.

She was one of roughly 20 Ferguson residents interviewed in recent days who described themselves as wary of police.

Ms Walker said she was recently pulled over for speeding by a Ferguson police officer and was surprised when the officer seemed to go out of his way to be non-threatening and let her off with a warning.

But she still advises her 13-year-old stepson never to agitate a police officer for fear of what the officer might do.

The restrained response by Ferguson police served as an illustration of what city leaders said are their efforts to improve relations between the still majority-white police force and the city’s population, which is two-thirds black.
