Michael Brown's father's words at his funeral: ‘I couldn’t protect you but we love you’

Michael Brown's father's words at his funeral: ‘I couldn’t protect you but we love you’ Anger smoldered Monday in St. Louis during the memorial service for the 18-year-old gunned down by a Ferguson, Mo., police officer. ‘We will chant Mike's name, and it's gonna shake the heavens,’ one cousin said.

Two weeks after Michael Brown was gunned down by a police officer, thousands turned out Monday to bid him farewell.

And the anger over the way Brown died continued to smolder in the sanctuary of the St. Louis church as his cousins poured out their grief.

“I still have anger in my heart,” Bernard Ewing told the mourners. “I still have revenge on my heart.”

Another cousin, Cal Brown, said the slain 18-year-old “was a kind, gentle guy.”

“One day he told his family the world would know his name," he said. “He did not know he was offering up a divine prophecy.”

Cousin Eric Davis said one day there will be justice for Brown.

Hmm...Why do I get the impression that what we got here is racists protesting racism? Blacks kill blacks: Perfectly OK. White kills black, most possibly once again out of self defense and we get the major freak out and Sharpton in the spotlight.

If you’d have taught him not to rob & steal and obey the orders of those in authority, he’d be on his way to Vatterott College to learn heating & air conditioning, pops.

President Obama sending three White House officials to Michael Brown’s funeral

I think I just threwup in my mouth a little.

These people are just going to damn the facts and pretend this was an innocent kid gunned down by a murderous cop.

Mass delusion like this is an ominous sign.

A kind, gentle guy who tosses storekeepers around like ragdolls in order to get enough Swisher Sweets to pack a butt-load of blunts.

We’re gonna miss him...

“Gunned down”.....yea, that will help calm things down.

He could have protected him if he had raised him right. Spare the rod and spoil the child. Then he gets shot.

These people aren't reading the right books......

and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

These are the same people who vote for the likes of Marion Barry and don’t see anything wrong with it. And don’t see anything wrong with Sharpton.

It is unfortunate that Mike Brown, SR. didn’t have a talk with Mike Brown, JR. and tell him that being the ‘muscle’ for his ‘gang buddies’ could get him killed.

Wonder if St Mike’s dad spent most Sunday’s with him, in this church. Sad time to go to church with your kid.

The longer the narrative persists (and grows) the worse it will be should it collapse.

If the physical evidence points to Brown charging the police officer, it’s going to present a very difficult choice for a lot of people ...

“A kind, gentle guy who tosses storekeepers around like ragdolls-————”

I wonder if anyone has questioned this man again,and other merchants in the area, to see if Little Mikie ever stole from them prior to this incident.

He was probably well known in the area.

“Mass delusion like this is an ominous sign.”

Mass delusion is nothing new. It does seem to be coming more common though. Just look at all the Blacks that voted for Obama. Pretty much the entire Democrat platform is built on delusion.

At least they didn't claim he was unarmed.

When two individuals are fighting to get a weapon BOTH are deemed to be in possession of the weapon. Hence, Brown was ARMED.

Exactly. Some good parenting might have saved him. People have kids, then let them raise themselves. Or worse, they let the government raise them.

A child needs a mother and a father who take an active interest in him, nurture him and teach him right and wrong. It also helps if God is part of that nurturing too.

I said when Trayvon was killed that it seemed like his parents didn't really care about him until after he died. I'm beginning to think that's what happened here and is happening all over. Otherwise, I doubt these parents would be telling the world what a saint their child was.
