From the New York Daily News:
Wilson is former St. Louis police Officer Darren Wilson; Brown is Michael Brown.
“There is no excuse for people to be out there burning down people’s businesses, burning down police cars.”
Barkley also said that authorities got it right by not prosecuting Wilson, who shot 18-year-old Brown six times on Aug. 9 in a controversial incident that sparked nationwide protests while pushing Ferguson to the forefront of the country’s racial divide.
“The true story came out from the grand jury testimony,” Barkely said, adding that “three or four witnesses, who were black, said exactly what the cop [WILSON] said.”
Barkley’s stance will no doubt raise some chatter around the ever-talking TNT broadcaster.
