WASHINGTON, DC — In response to the decision of the Ferguson Grand Jury not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04) released the following statement:

“The grief and frustration of the American people is justified and understandable, especially as we struggle to address the highly polarized relationship between law enforcement and young black men. The unnecessary loss of Michael Brown’s young life should urge all Americans to recommit to reconciliation during this dark time. As we reflect on the grand jury’s decision, let us move toward honoring the dignity and value of Michael’s life. The Brown family continues to be in my thoughts and prayers.”
