The parents of Michael Brown, the unarmed man whom a Ferguson, Mo.,
police officer shot and killed last August, have filed a civil
lawsuit against the city, along with former police chief Thomas
Jackson and Darren Wilson, the now-former officer who shot Brown, 18.
.
The lawsuit was filed by Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden at
the St. Louis County Courthouse Thursday morning. It says Wilson
"unjustifiably shot and killed" Brown, using "an unnecessary and
unreasonable" amount of force.
.
You can read the lawsuit at the St. Louis Public Radio site; it says
Jackson was responsible for hiring, training and supervising Wilson.

Citing the Ferguson Police Department's internal culture, Brown family
attorney Benjamin Crump said that an event like Brown's death should
have been predictable.
.
"To this day, we still don't believe that the shooter of an unarmed
18-year-old teenager has never been cross-examined," Brown said after
the lawsuit was filed.
.
He said the family has been seeking a "thorough independent review"
in which Wilson could possibly be challenged.
