The father of Michael Brown is making a plea for peace, regardless of whether the grand jury decides to charge the Ferguson police officer who fatally shot his unarmed son.

Michael Brown Sr. has posted a video online saying that he, his family and the St. Louis region are still hurting. But, Brown says, « hurting others or destroying property is not the answer. »

Michael Brown was 18 when he was killed by Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson following an altercation on Aug. 9.

The grand jury decision is expected soon.

The video was a public service announcement produced by the group STL Forward, a website trying to unite the St. Louis region following the unrest that followed the shooting.
