An uneasy quiet settled over Ferguson, Missouri, on Saturday evening after another day without a decision from a grand jury on whether to bring charges against a white police officer for fatally shooting a black teen, 18-year-old Michael Brown.On Saturday, the dead teenager’s father, Michael Brown, and some of the family’s supporters handed out Thanksgiving turkeys to residents in the street where his son was gunned down. Many were surprised when he knocked on their doors."I had to come and just give back to the people," Brown told reporters. He wore a red T-shirt bearing a picture of his son’s face and the messages "Gone Too Soon" and "I Will always Love You.""Everyone is suffering over this," he added. "I just feel that this was needed, so I came back to make sure that people have a nice Thanksgiving."
