Interview of Michael Brown's parents

I chose to analyse the reaction of Michael Brown's parents to the Darren Wilson interview. This is the video reaction by The Young Turks. They are angry at Darren Wilson for what he did and they insist that they only want change. They are angry that he claimed to have a clear conscience and the reaction of Ferguson, not having anyone give their condolences. They claim that they had been disrespected by the people. When he said that he had a clear conscience they make the point that how could anyone have a clear conscience after killing someone, even after an accidental death. And the reaction to the body, leaving it there for 4 hours, to a point where the organs couldn't be donated.

They make the point that for everyone else this will fade out of the news cycle, for her and and his father this will haunt them for the rest of their lives. TYT state that they are very critical of the jury in the trial and refer to previous examples of white policeman being allowed to walk after killing a black person. Such as the Trayvon Martin shooting. the video shows that TYT are very critical of the justice system, showing that there are obvious injustices that take place and they happen far too regularly. This is very typical of this news organisation, who are typically very honest and upfront about their opinions on these kind of matters.

Many people have shown support for Michael Brown after the no charge verdict, including the St Louis Rams, who had 5 Black players walk out of the tunnel with their arms in the 'hands up dont shoot' position. There has been calls for an apology and a punishment for those players, but, the NFL will take no action against them.
