***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
And they wouldn't treat a white man same way..
still wont bring back the dead, and doesn't justify what the murderers/police did.....
5.9m is way too small. They can do better than that.
Still not enough to cover their loss!!! But at least they accepted their wrong doing
They shouldn't have settled so low.
At least 20mn!
$5.9M won't bring him back to life....it's a pity the way the blacks are been treated in US...
Police cruelty everywhere...RIP man.

Again, while na,
See his fine eyes
Money cannot buy back a life. What was shown on the news about this man's passing could have been avoided. God is wonderful. Hopefully, Mr Brown will get the ultimate gift of going to heaven where there is no pain. Amen.
Instead of obama shud focus on d discrimination blacks are facing in america..he is forcing homosexuality on africa countries..African americans are soo dumb I swear, Martin luther's dream hasn't come 2 pass yet cuz obama is jst wastin his time..Dis assault of police on blacks skyrocketted under obama's tenure and he is doin nutin abt it..wat a shame..
our police dey learn in terms of wickedness for where US police dey
