Officials say that there needs to be a more permanent memorial to the teen and objects in the street are a safety hazard. The items placed in the middle of the street were removed on Wednesday by Michael Brown Sr. and volunteers. They will be placed in storage by the Urban League. A paving project to improve Canfield Drive is slated to start soon. ed.Michael Brown’s father says a plaque will be placed in the sidewalk on Canfield Drive near where Michael Brown was shot and killed. Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III says a permanent place to remember Michael Brown may be set up near the Canfield Green Apartment complex.Canfield Drive is where Brown, who was black, was shot and killed by white police officer Darren Wilson, touching off often violent protests and a national “Black Lives Matter” movement. Wilson later resigned.

A fucking thug, and nothing more. This is the state of moral degradation in America now; you have police officers willing to torture and kill you so you can't fucking trust them, and people are so fucking wrapped up in identity politics that they can't recognise a criminal piece of shit when they see one.
His death is representative of a larger problem that's been plaguing their community when it comes to relations with the police.
He was murdered by a cop.
The autopsy said there were no signs of a struggle and that he was shot in the back.
His body had been autopsied three times — once each by St. Louis County police, a pathologist hired by Brown’s family and federal authorities. All found that Brown had been shot at least six times, including twice in the head but not in the back.

Quote from: challengerX on May 21, 2015, 06:44:46 PMThe autopsy said there were no signs of a struggle and that he was shot in the back.What? Both of those claims are false. Brown's DNA was found both on Wilson's gun and the thigh of his pants, material on Brown's hands are consistent with his reaching for the gun and blood/tissue from Brown found on the exterior of the driver's side of Wilson's patrol car which is indicative of a struggle. The autopsies also showed he was shot six times, but not once in the back: QuoteHis body had been autopsied three times — once each by St. Louis County police, a pathologist hired by Brown’s family and federal authorities.

Dead criminals get memorials now? I thought you had to be someone of national value or something.

It was a historic.

It was a historic.Even so, it's commemorating people who robbed banks at gunpoint. Brown robbed a shop and then got into that altercation which resulted in his death, petty shit really when they are compared but it's still memorialising a criminal.

Both the county, federal and independent autopsies confirmed he was shot in the head, not the back. It helps if you actually read up on the case and remove your biases for a solitary second.I've read up on it plenty. It helps if you don't believe everything you read in the news.
