Brown’s relative sorry for remarks

Facing possible criminal charges, Michael Brown’s stepfather apologised for his angry comments on the streets of Ferguson after a grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who fatally shot his stepson.

Officials are looking into Louis Head’s comments as part of a broader investigation into the arson, vandalism, and looting that followed the November 24 grand jury announcement, said St Louis County Police . Twelve commercial buildings were destroyed by fire.

Brown, 18, who was black and unarmed, was killed on August 9 by Darren Wilson, who is white. Wilson, who resigned from the Ferguson department last weekend, had told the grand jury his life was being threatened, but some witnesses said Brown was trying to surrender.
