Killer Mike comments on Ferguson verdict

While several celebs have chosen to remain quiet about the grand jury decision not to indict Darren Wilson in the killing of unarmed teen Mike Brown, Atlanta rhymer Killer Mike spoke out just an hour after the decision was reached. Not only did he share his frustration with the situation, he did it while in St. Louis, MO., just a short distance away from Ferguson where protests turned violent almost immediately.

While performing at the Ready Room, Killer Mike sent out prayers to both the peaceful and more rowdy protesters who couldn't hold their anger in, saying he has two sons, ages 20 and 12, whose lives he feels are now in danger. Listening to his voice, you can tell the gifted rapper was on the verge of tears while discussing the injustices African-Americans continue to face, ending by saying it's "us against the motherfu**ing machine."
