    Default Michael Brown's family response to grand jury

    "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.

    Really?

    That sounds a LOT different than what the Father said:

    Quote Michael Brown's stepfather at rally: 'Burn this bitch down!'
    (CNN) -- Michael Brown's stepfather consoled the dead teen's distraught mother after Monday's controversial grand jury announcement and then turned to the crowd of demonstrators, saying, "Burn this motherf---er down" and "Burn this bitch down," according to a New York Times video.
    The comments by Brown's stepfather, Louis Head, came shortly before an eruption of rage by some protesters over the decision not to indict police Officer Darren Wilson in the August shooting death of 18-year-old Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
    A row of businesses on West Florissant Avenue, a major thoroughfare in the St. Louis suburb, was engulfed in flames Monday night. Police cars and vehicles at a nearby dealership were turned into fireballs. There were so many blazes that firefighters couldn't reach every one.
    In The New York Times video, Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, is visible in the crowd Monday night in Ferguson.
    McSpadden speaks to the crowd briefly, saying she has lived in the community her whole life and never experienced anything like this.
    "I don't do nothing to nobody," she said, crying uncontrollably and placing her hands over her face. Head comforts her before his outburst.
    Shouts of "F--- the police" can be heard from the crowd.

    divide and conquer , even between the parents ... the PTB love this kind of crisis ... controlling the talk around the water cooler at work ... This is harsh but it's reality , He reaped what he had sown ... cause and effect ...
