Well, there were certainly many witnesses to this! He can't claim he didn't yell it. He did loud and often and it got the crowd reacting, that's for sure!
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police are investigating Michael Brown's stepfather for angry comments on the streets of Ferguson after a grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who fatally shot his stepson, a spokesman said Tuesday.
Officials want to talk to Louis Head about his comments as part of a broader investigation into the arson, vandalism and looting that followed the Nov. 24 grand jury announcement, St. Louis County Police spokesman Brian Schellman said. Twelve commercial buildings were destroyed by fire.
Brown, 18, who was black and unarmed, was killed Aug. 9 by Darren Wilson, who is white. Wilson, who resigned from the Ferguson department last weekend, had told the grand jury his life was being threatened, but some witnesses said Brown was trying to surrender.
Video widely circulated after last week's grand jury announcement shows Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, on top of a car and breaking down as the decision blares over a stereo. Head, her husband, comforts her then yells angry comments, including "Burn this bitch down!"

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson told Sean Hannity last night that everyone involved in the vandalizing and looting that followed the grand jury's decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson will be brought to justice — including Michael Brown's stepfather, Louis Head.
Head could be held responsible for inciting a riot, Mediaite reports, after footage of him screaming "Burn this motherf--ker down! Burn this bitch down!" aired on CNN in the wake of the grand jury decision. When asked about the remarks, Jackson responded that the police department is pursuing the comments.
