The Grand Jury’s decision in Ferguson, MO not to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of unarmed 18 year old Michael Brown Jr. sparked immediate protest around the country and unrest in Ferguson. Community leaders and activists are now calling for the Federal prosecution of Wilson on Civil Rights violations. And according to reports, the family of Michael Brown Jr. are also considering filing a Civil Suit against Wilson.
The unusual way in which St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch handled the case leads to a further erosion of trust of police and a system many in the black community say is unfair and unequal. ‘COMMUNITY VOICES’ host, Ron Holland explores the Grand Jury’s decision, the demonization of Michael Brown Jr. and whether police will ever be convicted for killing unarmed Black men.
