Ferguson police investigating Michael Brown's stepdad for inciting a riot

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson told Sean Hannity last night that everyone involved in the vandalizing and looting that followed the grand jury's decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson will be brought to justice — including Michael Brown's stepfather, Louis Head.

Head could be held responsible for inciting a riot, Mediaite reports, after footage of him screaming "Burn this motherf--ker down! Burn this bitch down!" aired on CNN in the wake of the grand jury decision. When asked about the remarks, Jackson responded that the police department is pursuing the comments. Watch the full clip of Jackson on Hannity at Mediaite.
