Ferguson PD Chief: ‘Pursuing’ Investigation Into Whether Brown Stepdad Incited Riot

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson told Sean Hannity tonight that the police department is “pursuing” an investigation into whether explosive comments by Michael Brown‘s stepfather incited a riot. You may recall that Louis Head had a rather angry reaction to the Ferguson grand jury decision, screaming “Burn this motherfucker down! Burn this bitch down!”

In a segment focused on prosecuting people who vandalized and caused chaos in Ferguson last week, Hannity asked Jackson, “Do you believe those comments should be pursued? Is that inciting a riot?” Jackson said, “We are pursuing those comments.”

Hannity also asked about finding and arresting everyone who vandalized and looted that night. Jackson assured that everyone responsible for destruction will be brought to justice.
