A permanent plaque has been unveiled to honor Michael Brown, the black 18-year-old who was shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson last August.
The steel and gold plate will be drilled into the road on Canfield Drive where Brown was shot, replacing a makeshift memorial of flowers and toys, which had become a safety hazard.
It features an engraving of the teenager in his graduation mortar board, with a message that his family 'would like the memory of Michael Brown to be a happy one.'

Any of you FReepers happen by Ferguson Missouri, stop by and leave "something" at the gentle giants memorial.
This country is screwed. We now honor and revere criminals with great pride. Makes me ill.
Look at the bright side. He’s roasting in hell.
“Gentlemen, start your jackhammers!”
Does it, by an chance, show him grabbing the storekeeper by the neck just prior to this?
“It features an engraving of the teenager in his graduation mortar board, with a message that his family ‘would like the memory of Michael Brown to be a happy one.’”
One cannot just make up this stuff ...

Can beatification by Francis be far behind? “Saint Swisher of Sweets”
So it's sort of a reenactment?
“Does it, by an chance, show him grabbing the storekeeper by the neck just prior to this?”
Nah. that will be the symbol for the Michael Brown Community Service Award. i think the first awardee will be those sub animals in Baltimore..
I’ll leave him some whiskey. I’m going to strain it through my kidneys first...
LOL
I’ll leave a burger for him. It will be a big, warm sloppy patty without the buns.

The Myth of the Gentle Giant must not die!
It’s going to be drilled into the ground on the very spot where Brown was drilled into the ground.
Can beatification by Francis be far behind? “Saint Swisher of Sweets”

I say they put his ashes in the stolen cigar box and charge $5 for viewing.
The whole memorial thing is unseemly.Kind of like awarding a do-nothing The Nobel Peace Prize.
Hands up! Don’t park!
