Michael Brown family statement on Ferguson grand jury decision

"We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions.

While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.

Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera.

We respectfully ask that you please keep your protests peaceful. Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction.

Let's not just make noise, let's make a difference."

Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown, Sr.

Parents of Michael Brown, Jr.

I'm wondering why the national media which is covering all things Micheal Brown seems to be ignoring this aspect of the story. Thankfully the local St. Louis media is covering that aspect. Here is a report from on the store owners claims by KTVI, a St Louis television station.
