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?
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 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
Exactly d way he handle d shop owner was quite disturbing, though sad he lost his life. Juz wish dis black kids wil learn to live responsibly n stop acting d victims alwaz.
ReplyDeleteGina i am disappointed and angry at ur comments knowing that u have 3 beautiful kids!whatever happened does that warrant death? And i want evryone to know that these incidence at the store are not in anyway related or was the course for the shooting!the stupid police man was the real bully!the shop owner that was pushed by brown never said anything or reported to anyone but days later when he heard that brown was shot he tried to be nossy and took the recording in his store to go and show the police, and the police for being crooked that they are now tried to paint brown in a bad image as a result of incidence that where never related! Just pray never to fall victim of racist American police who hate blacks for no reason!Travel and see the wickedness against blacks and u will see that ur views will change!

Eyaa dnt ave to say wat y want u want to hear, we r all entitled to our own opinion n like I said earlier, sad he died. Didt juz comment for commenting sake, watched d whole thing live for months. Was even mor upset than u can imagine but after d video was released, my views changed. it's clear d boy in question had anger issues, probably d way he reacted whn d shop owner asked him to pay for d stuffs him n his friend took forcefully wtout payment, was d same way he reacted to d police man or even worse which resulted to d shooting. No sane officer wil go about killing innocent citizen for promotion. I'm a die hard fan of black cultural heritage n all it represent but pls whn we see smthing wrong let's b honest n say it d way it is, instead of giving excuses n adding sentiment to everythn.
DeleteGina u r 100% correct. Wit such a video of late brown grabbin a shop owner lyk dat shows us d exact attitude of d boy. Yea, sori he died dat way but his attitude hs no remark of innocency over his death. @yankeebased pls I'll lyk 2 know wat job u r doin out dere, ur comment ws kinda sentimental tho

I am black and I am tired of the way we blacks have decided to be sentimental about this issue. I'm sorry the Michael had to die from this issue. But I don't see why the officer should be persecuted. Let's be real the no1 rule for crimals and non criminal is that you don't punch a cop. You just don't. He is cop not a random citizen even criminals give in to cops except they want to be killed. This kid for one reason or the other physically abused a cop a cop. If the shot that was made while the boy was physically abusing the cop had killed him would our opinions have been different. Wouldn't his death at that moment been based on self defense.
DeleteOk that shot didn't kill him. So Michael decided to flee. The cop went after him told him to stop While pointing his gun at him. Micheal stopped turned back to face the cop now here is what determines why and why he shouldn't be killed. According to eye witnesses when Michael turned he had his hands up according to the cop he didn't. According to the cop when Michael turned he charged towards him and he started shooting at him.
The truth is no matter how many eye witnesses claim he has his hands up or what the cops says. It all boils down to what forensics proves and from the forensic evidence Michael body was 130m away from the cops car but the trail of his could be found as far as 25ft from the car. Forensic proves that Michael ran as far as 25ft before turning and making his way back to the cop to have his dead body 130m closer to the car. The fact is we can't say for certain wether Michael had is hands up or he was charging towards the cop. One thing for sure is he was heading back towards the cop and he was shot dead. (Keep in mind cops are rigorously trained to bring down a target that they feel could be a treat) the cop is justified at shooting Michael when he was attacking him in the car and justified when
Micheal turned his back and headed towards the cop.
If only Michael had listened and obeyed the cop I'm sure he would still be alive today. I'm sorry he had to die. But the Michael is not clean enough for me to agree that justice wasn't served in this case.
*trail of his blood could be found 25ft
Deletehisssss u didn't make any sense at all! Nonsense!

Anon 00:27 Ofcos he/she didn't make any sense bcos people like you will never be logical in your reasoning. You always want to play the race card. Next time a cop works up to you plz don't hesitate to punch him okay and after try fleeing and when you get killed the living will protest and even burn churches for you. Goodluck with that
DeleteAnon 00:009 I completely support you. Every time we play race card. Even when its not necessary. The boy was truant. And black Americans like to "stunt" for police. Its wrong. If a police or any one at all with a gun says stop, for the life of me, just fucking stop. Now they are vandalising peoples shop including black peoples shop all in the name of protests...please! I know white guys can feel superior at times but please the brown guy made a mistake
DeleteHe should make up his mind
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I'd just keep shut.
ReplyDeleteHehe! What you just said reminded me of late Joan Rivers,she said the same thing too on her show one time. Anyways as for pharrell where do you really stand? Pick a side and stop actting two faced. As for young brown,lord bless your soul and rest in peace,amen!
Delete@face of mpn he not picking a stand makes him a critical thinker......you should not be biased. Both Michael and the cop made wrong choices. May his soul rest in peace.
DeleteShEh. He is already dead...let his soul. RIP
ReplyDeleteThats so serious!

These black americans that are so violent and act all stupid should pls get a life!people who were victimized in the hands of white people and are suppose to come together to fight the oppression,yet,they play into the hands of the white by continually selling cracks,dodging schools,killing eachoda,behaving like thugs.how can they be taken seriously when they kill eachoda like fowls and no witness would come out in case of bn labeled a snitch.black people should wake up n command respect.did micheal deserve to die??hell no!does the office deserve to be punished?hell yeah!
ReplyDeleteMay his soul RIP anytin apart from dat is their own cup of zobo
ReplyDeletePharrell is right.. Watch d video n c what the boy did in d shop
ReplyDeletethe late kid was a wicked bully, but that shouldn't be a reason for his killing.He was a bad kid with bad upbringing.
ReplyDeleteOMO OBA
No matter how this issue is flogged and squeezed, justice has been served according to their law. We just have to pray and hope that others learn from this and try to avoid the mistakes that were made from both ends(even though sh*ts like this keep happening).
ReplyDelete*Nonny*
I Dont know why people are just pushing this issue that is very clear...the kid got what he wanted..Period..Blacks in america are just on the side of the boy just because he's black and policeman is white..they turn a blind eye to what is on the ground and trying to make it a case of racism..He's an arrogant kid with no common sense...I think the kid is used to bullying pple and getting his way and don't know that doesn't apply when you are facing a man with a gun pointed at you...
ReplyDeleteLook at them acting as though they give a rat ass about the kid...they wouldn't have being so concerned if it was a black thug or man who shoot him...Mtcheeew..

Mr/ms 9ja born Yankee based. I see you have been brain washed by the African American and jumped on the general wagon of every issue being a racist issue congratulations on that. Don't get me wrong racism exist in America as well as every other part of the world.
ReplyDeleteBut before you choose to pick the race card as ur weapon why don't you look at an issue logically. The issue of Eric garner and the guy that was shot while working with his girlfriend( I'm guessing you are referring to the one in Brooklyn) are both cases of excessive use of force and mistaken discharge both cops are going to face the law governing there action.
Now back to the race issue. I love the spirit you have in fighting for the black skin. But you choosing to be hateful on white and not trying look at what the root of this could be. Ain't you sad and heartbroken that the highest crime rate in the country per race is the black race. Ain't you sad that when you go to projects houses blacks fill up the place or you go to school and less blacks in them.
Now ask yourself this question are we the only race in America? Why are the Chinese or Arabs not topping the crime rate in the country? why are Asians Arabs Chinese dominating wall str or Silicon Valley?, I have met a lot of blacks and I get disappointed that the don't dream beyond certain dream and unrealistic dreams. When I see a hard working black guess who they are immigrants.
We blacks need to start commanding respect. We need to start dominating colleges, tech industry medical industry. We need to prove that slavery ended Years ago. We are not the lower race we are race that chooses to command respect and not look for the white man to put our blames on. Rather than blame the white man. Why don't we be true to ourselves educate our black kids to go to college, be independent, why don't we empower them. This is a long definite solution to embark on rather than expecting the law to be bent for us
I am Nigerian born and Ive worked hard with Gods help to get to where I am. I've never been a victim of racism but I've been discriminated against twice for being African guess by who: two black Americans. What card should I play? The black card to a black?
