Their unarmed 18-year-old son, who was black, was fatally shot last month by Darren Wilson, who is white.

Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson offered an apology for Brown‘s body lying in the street for more than four hours. McSpadden said “yes” when asked whether Jackson should be fired.

The parents also expressed anger at Ferguson police who wore bracelets expressing support for Wilson. McSpadden says that lets her know “how they feel.”
