This is powerful.

This is powerful.

There’s outrage across America at the moment after a grand jury in Ferguson did not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown in August.

Brown, who was a teenager, was unarmed when he was shot and killed after a clash with police in Ferguson on August 9.

Hip Hop duo Run The Jewels (Killer Mike and El-P) performed just a few miles from Ferguson at the Ready Room in St. Louis last night and the performance became very emotional.

Killer Mike took the mic and delivered a speech outlining his outrage while also offering his support to Brown’s family.

The whole thing was a little too much for the rapper as he broke down in tears at various points.
