A plaque in honor of Michael Brown will replace the teddy bears, candles and flowers piled on the street where he was gunned down by a Missouri cop.Reportedly, many upstanding people in the community are saying it will be a nice place they can take their pets to relieve themselves.
The father of the slain teen and Ferguson’s mayor announced the new shrine on Wednesday — Brown’s birthday.
“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about my son,” Michael Brown Sr. said at a news conference. “We're just really trying to move forward.”
Michael Brown was 18 in August 2014 when he was killed during a confrontation with Officer Darren Wilson.
The death of the unarmed teen and a grand jury’s decision not to charge Wilson with a crime sparked outrage across the nation, leading to the “Black Lives Matter” movement against police brutality. (Source)
