Pharrell
Williams has spoken out on Micheal Brown’s case but unlike other Black
figures, he is singing a different tone..He told Ebony Magazine he
wasn’t happy about people overlooking the fact that the late Micheal’s
attitude was bully-ish ..Following the decision, Pharrell tweeted: ‘I’m heartbroken over the news of no indictment in Ferguson. Let’s all pray for peace’.
However, many fans slammed him for being two-sided and called him a sell-out.
EBONY: Did you see the video allegedly showing Michael Brown stealing from a convenience store minutes before his death?
WILLIAMS: It looked
very bully-ish; that in itself I had a problem with. Not with the kid,
but with whatever happened in his life for him to arrive at a place where that behavior is OK. Why aren’t we talking about that?
I believe that
Ferguson officer should be punished and serve time. He used excessive
force on a human being who was merely a child. He was a baby, man. The
boy was walking in the middle of the street when the police supposedly
told him to “get the f–k on the sidewalk.” If you don’t listen to
that, after just having pushed a storeowner, you’re asking for
trouble. But you’re not asking to be killed. Some of these youth feel
hunted and preyed upon, and that’s why that officer needs to be
punished.
Police released this
surveillance camera footage, reportedly showing Michael Brown grabbing a
convenience store owner shortly before he was stopped by Officer Darren
Wilson and eventually shot dead
