Michael Brown’s Father Calls Darren Wilson a ‘Murderer’

Michael Brown‘s parents sat down today for a CNN interview that aired tonight, and Sunny Hostin brought up how Officer Darren Wilson said in his interview with ABC News that he has a “clear conscience” about shooting Brown and would have done it the same way all over again. She asked Brown’s father for his response.

Michael Brown Sr. said, rather bluntly, “He’s a murderer.”

“If he was conscious of what he was doing, I mean he, he understood his actions,” Brown explained. “He understood exactly what he was doing. You know, he didn’t have a second thought, a pushback thought or nothing. He was intending to kill someone.”

And he really objected to Wilson saying the situation would have gone down differently had his son been white. If Michael Brown was white, his father said, the officer wouldn’t have even confronted him in the first place.
