Missouri Police Investigating Michael Brown's Stepfather for Incitement 
------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Police in Missouri say the stepfather of Michael Brown is under
investigation for potential incitement. A video taken just after the
grand jury decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for Brown's
death shows Louis Head in an emotional outburst. He is seen saying,
"Burn this bleep down." Police say they are looking into Head's comments
as part of a probe into acts of vandalism and arson that torched 12
buildings the night of the grand jury decision. Brown's mother, Leslie
Mc Spadden, has said her husband was speaking from a place of raw anger
and should not be judged for his emotional reaction in the moment.
