Mike Brown the 18 year old unarmed teen, who was executed by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer was laid to rest yesterday, in an emotional and moving service attended by over two thousand mourners.

In a rousing speech, the Rev. Al Sharpton reminded mourners that 18-year-old Brown “should be in his second week of college.” And described how Brown’s body was left on the street for hours after he was killed “like nobody cared about him, like he didn’t have any loved ones, like his life value didn’t matter.”

“We’re required in his name to change this country,” Sharpton said to cheers. “Justice is going to come! Justice is going to come! Justice is going to come!”

The vast majority of mourners at the Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church were African-American and many said they were deeply moved by the funeral.

Brown’s stepmother shared how Mike told her a month before he was gunned down in the streets that he kept dreaming about death.

“I’ve been dreaming of death, seeing pictures of death, seeing pictures of bloody sheets hanging on clotheslines” ‘That touched me” his stepmom said. “That’s what it was like when he was laying there on the street (after being shot). He prophesized his own death.”

Right now, a St. Louis County grand jury is considering whether to charge the white officer with a crime. Wilson, 28, has not been seen since the killing and has made no statements.

    1. I caught the Don Lemon interview of Ms. McSpadden, Trayvon’s mother and Sean Bell’s mother. Heart wrenching.

      Saw that one. I was crying then I became angry. Once Mike walked away from that car, he wasn’t a threat. If you can’t chase down a 300lb boy, you ain’t fit for duty. Tazer him, heck hit him with the baton but to shoot him AT LEAST six times?! No. I’m not here for that. When will it end?

        He was there. I heard some audio of activists telling him that he’s not welcome, because he’s only been riding around in his limo. They told him that he didn’t come to march. He just came to be seen.

  32. Feel terrible for his mother and for all of his family. This type of thing needs to be stopped for good and I truly hope we see some legislation that is going to stop police from gunning down our people for no reason AND hold them crimanlly accountable when/if they do.

  35. • “We can’t have a fit. We’ve got to have a movement,” the Rev. Al Sharpton says, calling not for short-term protests but a long-term effort to change attitudes and laws.

    • Sharpton speaks of recent incidents of police violence in America, saying that “it’s time to deal with policing. We are not the haters, we’re the healers.”

  38. We should be outraged when someone is murdered period. But if we can’t understand why folks are protesting a COP killing a boy in the street and his body lying in the street. I’m sorry. Can’t help you.

  39. “Blackness was never about being a gangster or a thug. Blackness was no matter how low we was pushed down, we rose up anyhow.

    Blackness was never surrendering our pursuit of excellence. It was when it was against the law to go to some schools, we built black colleges… we never gave up.

    Now, in the 21st century, we get to where we got some positions of power. And you decide it ain’t black no more to be successful. Now you want to be a n—– and call your woman a ho. You’ve lost where you’ve come from.

    We’ve got to clean up our community so we can clean up the United States of America.”

    Rev. Bobblehead Al Sharpton 🙂
