'I don't want words, I want action' says mother of US teen shot dead by cop

The parents of the black teenager gunned down by police in Ferguson, Missouri, have rejected an apology by the city's top cop, saying he should be sacked and the white officer who shot their son arrested.

Michael Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, said "Yes" when asked if Chief Tom Jackson should be fired, and his father, Michael, said rather than an apology, they would rather see Officer Darren Wilson arrested for the death of their 18-year-old son on August 9, which sparked widespread rioting.
