Some members of the Black Lives Matter movement tried to profit off the death of Michael Brown, according to his father.
Michael Brown, Sr. reaffirmed his opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement while speaking at Chattanooga State Community college Wednesday, reports the Times Free Press.
While some members of the Black Lives Matter movement had good intentions, Brown Sr. said that he saw some of them try to gain from his son’s death.
“I call them thieves in the night,” Brown Sr. told those gathered.
White Officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown Aug. 9, 2014. Department of Justice officials, along with prosecutors, determined that despite that “hands up, don’t shoot” narrative, Brown tried to grab Wilson’s gun. Wilson shot after Brown tried to charge him.
Black Lives Matter demonstrators marched through the streets, chanting, “no justice, no peace” and, “hands up, don’t shoot.” Some of the protests turned violent, with police launching tear gas at protesters who refused to move. Rioters responded by throwing Molovtov cocktails at officers.
Brown Sr. also criticized the riots, saying that they took the focus off of the loss he and the community felt after losing Brown.
“And when people start rioting and doing all this other stuff they got off focus of the death of my son and started focusing on the negativity, so that overpowered the loss that we went through as far as parents and in the community,” Brown Sr. said, speaking at East Tennessee State University Tuesday.
I think that's also what the Black store owners called the looters in Ferguson.
I guess he’s mad because he can’t profit from the fat thug’s death. They’re all disgusting.
So wasn’t the whole fam damily. Didn’t they have a shoving match around their merchandies booths? All the families who were terrorized by the “gentle giant” should sue for every penny.
Mr. Brown, please explain how the community was negatively impacted by the loss of your son? Is it because he can no longer commit strong arm petty theft of Swisher Sweets or beat the $hit out of police officers that are half his size?
Took him long enough. He sure let this s*** go.
How about Trump selling off / privatizing all federal land except military bases?
Close Down BLM interior dept
What kind of lawsuit(s) do the family have going?
B lack
L ibertine
M afia
For-profit rioters.
Smart don’t trickle down much in that family...
“Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” was a lie, it never happened.
The whole movement is based on that lie.
Michael Brown attacked a police officer. I would expect to get shot if I did that.
Here we go! I’ve been waiting for this to start.
translation - he is angling for his cut.
“...thieves in the night...”
No sh!t, Sherlock.
What a dumbass. I suspect he’s just pissed because BLM made boatloads of money from his son’s death while he didn’t profit as much as he expected.
He’s a terd and a douche. Somebody needs to cover him in dirt or drop him I to a port-a-potty because that’s what you are supposed to do with fecal matter.
He’s just figuring this out now? What a maroon. He’s just as deluded as BLM.
re: Lawsuits
Probably wrongful death, civil rights, mopery in the 3d degree
Brown Sr. already out of money?
Aw, too bad. You didn’t give a rip about your kid until after he was dead.
Now, because you couldn’t get out in front of the race hucksters and tell the truth, Ferguson is now ground zero for the social justice movement forever. Their police department is so depleted, they now lead the county in homicides.
Brown you and your ilk own this, you own Baltimore, you own Minneapolis, Dallas, Baton Rouge, and host of others.
And BLM will be back to North St. Louis County because the damnable lies told on social media this very eve, about another black man shot in the back, shot down by the racist police.
A black man who just shot another black man, a security officer doing his job.
