Black Friday was put on hold in Ferguson this week thanks to protesters gathers in support of Michael Brown and his family.
Brown, who was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer after the 290 pound, 18 year-old rushed the officer, Darren Wilson.
Wilson was acquitted of wrongdoing in the case, setting off riots and protests that continued through Thanksgiving weekend.
