The lawyer representing Michael Brown‘s family has blasted the teen’s stepfather for urging protesters to “burn this bitch down” after a grand jury failed to indict Officer Darren Wilson.

​Call​ing ​Louis ​Head’s ​inflammatory comments “indefensible” and “not appropriate in any way​,”​ family attorney Benjamin Crump told CNN, “We don’t condone people acting on emotion calling for people to do irresponsible things at all​.”

“And so we want his family, his mother and father’s message to come across louder than anybody who might be associated with them,” the lawyer said. “And they can’t control what others do. They can control what they pray for.”

Head sparked outrage last week after he was videotaped shouting “Burn this motherf***er down” and “Burn this bitch down” just moments after the ​grand ​jury decision to not indict Wilson was released.

​Head finally owned up to his controversial comments on Wednesday — apologizing for his actions and admitting that “emotions got the best of me.”

“I was so angry and full of raw emotions, as so many others were, and granted, I screamed out words that I shouldn’t have screamed in the heat of the moment,” Head said in a statement obtained by CNN.

“It was wrong, and I humbly apologize to all of those who read my pain and anger as a true desire for what I want for our community.”

Despite admitting he was wrong, Head made it clear that he feels the grand jury’s decision was ultimately what led to violent protests.

“But to place blame solely on me for the conditions of our community, and country, after the grand jury decision goes way too far and is as wrong as the decision itself,” his statement said. “To declare a state of emergency and send a message of war, and not peace, before a grand jury decision was announced is also wrong.”

“In the end, I’ve lived in this community for a long time,” he added. “The last thing I truly wanted was to see it go up in flames. In spite of my frustration, it really hurt to see that.”

Authorities in the St. Louis suburb are trying to figure out whether they should charge Head for inciting a riot Nov. 24 after his controversial comments sparked widespread criticism across the country.
