   Throw his dumb black ass in jail for inciting a riot and   
   destruction of private property.   
      
   ST. LOUIS (AP) — Police are investigating Michael Brown's   
   stepfather for angry comments on the streets of Ferguson after a   
   grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who fatally   
   shot his stepson, a spokesman said Tuesday.   
      
   Officials want to talk to Louis Head about his comments as part   
   of a broader investigation into the arson, vandalism and looting   
   that followed the Nov. 24 grand jury announcement, St. Louis   
   County Police spokesman Brian Schellman said. Twelve commercial   
   buildings were destroyed by fire.   
      
   Brown, 18, who was black and unarmed, was killed Aug. 9 by   
   Darren Wilson, who is white. Wilson, who resigned from the   
   Ferguson department last weekend, had told the grand jury his   
   life was being threatened, but some witnesses said Brown was   
   trying to surrender.   
      
   Video widely circulated after last week's grand jury   
   announcement shows Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, on top of a   
   car and breaking down as the decision blares over a stereo.   
   Head, her husband, comforts her then yells angry comments,   
   including "Burn this bitch down!"   
      
   Family attorney Benjamin Crump has called the reaction "raw   
   emotion," but "completely inappropriate." He did not immediately   
   return messages seeking comment Tuesday.   
      
   Head has not yet been interviewed by police, and there is no   
   timetable for when the investigation will be complete, Schellman   
   said. He declined to discuss what specific charges Head could   
   face. A message left with a spokesman for St. Louis County   
   Prosecutor Bob McCulloch was not immediately returned.   
      
   Ferguson Police spokesman Jeff Small said that department is not   
   conducting a separate investigation of Head.   
      
   Most of the violence occurred in the first two days after the   
   announcement. Peaceful protests have continued, including one   
   Tuesday involving students who walked out of classes from three   
   Ferguson-area high schools.   
      
   The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that teachers joined the   
   students and the Ferguson-Florissant School District provided   
   buses to pick them up and return them to classes by mid-   
   afternoon. It was their first day back in class after   
   Thanksgiving break was extended a day due to bad weather Monday,   
   when similar walkouts were staged across the country.   
      
   While daytime protests continue, nighttime demonstrations have   
   waned. There were 124 arrests in Ferguson in the five days   
   following the grand jury announcement, but none since Friday.   
      
   As a result, police and the National Guard are scaling back.   
   Schellman said county officers are no longer working 12-hour   
   shifts, though a small contingent will remain posted at night   
   outside Ferguson police headquarters, which has been a focal   
   point for protest gatherings.   
      
   Gov. Jay Nixon also announced Tuesday that the National Guard   
   has completed duties in the city of St. Louis and is reducing   
   its presence — which peaked at about 2,200 guard members — in   
   Ferguson and elsewhere in St. Louis County. Still, nearly 1,300   
   remain in the region. Nixon also said the Missouri State Highway   
   Patrol will continue to work with local police.
