In the heat of the immediate riots following the decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson last Monday, Michael Brown’s stepfather, Louis Head, was caught on tape screaming “burn this bitch down.”
And on Tuesday, multiple media outlets reported that Head is now under investigation by the Ferguson police department to determine if he was trying to incite a riot through his actions.
“You remember that was right after the decision was announced, it was very emotional,” Brown family attorney Benjamin Crump said Monday night on CNN regarding Head’s comments. “It’s indefensible, it’s not appropriate in any way, we don’t condone people acting on emotion calling for people to do irresponsible things.”
