The US Department of Justice on Friday told the Ferguson, Missouri, Police Department to order its officers to stop wearing bracelets in support of Darren Wilson, the Ferguson cop who shot and killed unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown on August 9, Reuters reported.


Ferguson residents reported police officers wearing “I am Darren Wilson” bracelets during protests in the St. Louis suburb. The bracelets “upset and agitated” demonstrators and “reinforce the very ‘us versus them’ mentality that many residents of Ferguson believe exists,” according to the Justice Department letter reviewed by Reuters.
