Last night, almost everyone I personally know was in front of their television or on social media waiting for the indictment verdict against Officer Darren Wilson for shooting the unarmed teenager, Michael Brown.
The longer the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch spoke about the case, the more obvious it seemed that Officer Darren Wilson would go free.
Once the verdict was confirmed, many people took to social media to express their thoughts including celebrities. Here are a few Celebrity Tweets and their reaction to the verdict last night:
Pray for #STL #pray for peace #pray for black males-every child is someone's baby! #MikeBrown #Ferguson http://t.co/Z9TTOAWIwq

Even without indictment of Darren Wilson, we can fight racism, poverty & predatory government. #Ferguson. #MikeBrown. http://t.co/PQkVIENbv0

Obama: "the law too often feels like it's being applied in a discriminatory fashion." #MikeBrown #Ferguson

The actions of the #Ferguson police dept in the hours after #MikeBrown was killed played a major role in the protests.

Everyone in #Ferguson isn't in the streets. There's some people who are so angry they will use any reason to be destructive. #BreaksMyHeart

We must work together to stop the unnecessary loss of young men of color. Justice was not served in Ferguson.
