A grand jury has decided that police officer Darren Wilson will not face charges for shooting dead unarmed teenager Michael Brown.
After months of waiting, the decision was finally made public late on Monday as the St Louis suburb of Ferguson braced for protests following months of unrest in a case which has become a flash point for race relations in the U.S.
A jury of seven men and five women delivered the verdict that Wilson, a white officer, should not be indicted for shooting the black teen six times on August 9.
Michael Brown's mother collapsed in tears as the verdict was announced - as the victim's stepfather screamed 'Burn this [expletive] down'.
Meanwhile, Wilson's attorneys issued a statement in which he thanked 'those who have stood by his side throughout the process'.
As the news filtered out, violent scenes emerged on the streets of Ferguson, as protesters began throwing rocks and bottles at police in riot gear...

Drama Queen.
Sounds a bit fishy....lots of theatre.
Such a shame, Mrs. Brown. Did she finally realize that she raised a thug criminal?
Imagine how the Brown and Goldman families felt. Their children were innocent.
She already knew what the verdict was. The family was told hours ago. (or so I’ve heard).
So much for the "restraint" the Brown family asked from everyone else.
Collapsed as she saw the visions of a huge settlement slipping through her hands.
” The U.S. Attorney General and president have both urged police to show restraint in dealing with demonstrators...”
Show restraint ... shoot looters only once?
Were they playing James Brown at the time and did someone bring her a cape?
So much for the "no matter what, the family wants peace and calm" meme, eh? LOL
All the world’s a stage...
“...new Cadillac with the spinning wheels...”
...and leopard-skin seats with a ghetto-pink paint job and fuzzy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror.
THe mother and the father probably knows that her son’s behavior led directly to this death, but rather than accepting that, they have to save face for the president and all the folks just itching to destroy, rather than build. Their apple of a son did not fall far from their parental tree. That is a tragedy.
Hope she doesn’t beat up on Grandma, again, over this outcome.
bhahahaha
