FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) β The Rev. Al Sharpton says healing won’t begin in Ferguson, Missouri, until families of police shooting victims receive justice.
Sharpton told parishioners at the Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Ferguson that this weekend’s resignation of Officer Darren Wilson did not patch the wounds.
Wilson fatally shot unarmed teenager Michael Brown in a Ferguson street after the two scuffled inside Wilson’s police SUV. Last Monday the grand jury refused to bring charges against Wilson.
In church on Sunday, Sharpton told parishioners not to give up, but to keep struggling to prevent future incidents.
Outside the church following Sharpton’s message, congregants said they’re trusting God that Brown’s death can help produce racial progress.
