Officer Darren Wilson was not indicted yesterday in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, resulting in unrest among the citizens of Ferguson, MO, and the rest the nation. On the day Michael Brown died, Illinois-native and Bar/None Records musician Ezra Furman wrote a song entitled “Ferguson’s Burning” in response. Today, after the verdict was announced, Furman re-posted his song, along with this comment:
“Outraged after yesterday’s verdict, I offer my song again:
http://youtu.be/WrOZSwkDbigNote: please do not comment telling me that Darren Wilson is innocent. I know there is a chance that that is true. I consider it a very slim chance. Even if he is innocent there are many, many other cops that are guilty of the same crime of which he is accused.”
The song is available for download for free off of soundcloud:
