Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson, who was at the center of the controversy surrounding the fatal police shooting in August of unarmed black teen Michael Brown, released a video today in which he apologized to the family of the victim.
"I'm truly sorry for the loss of your son. I'm also sorry that it took so long to remove Michael from the street," Jackson said of the four hours it took authorities to remove the body of the 18-year-old.
The death of Brown sparked days of sometimes violent protest.
