Brown, an unarmed teen, was shot at least six times and killed by Darren Wilson, a Ferguson police officer.
“Anytime you get an opportunity to do something like that, it’s something that needs to be discussed, something that you truly need to believe,” veteran safety Ryan Clark told the Washington Post. “That could have been any one of us. That could have been any one of our brothers, our cousins, just anyone.”
