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 whateverhappened in his life for him to arrive at a place where that behavior is OK. Why aren’t we talking about that?
But he insisted he believed the officer should be punished.He said……….
I believe that Ferguson officer should be punished and serve time. He used excessive force on ahuman 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
