st. louis rams put their hands over their heads in a don't shoot pose right before their game against the oakland raiders. >> well h that is just wrong. why would anyone surrender to the raiders?

st. louis rams. what is so remarkable is they might as well have come out with a flying saucer attached to all of their heads in solidarity of michael brown being transported to venus on a flying saucer. because that happened as much as that happened. and that's according to grand jury testimony. that's according to witnesses. they are using his accomplice in the robbery that was with him at the time. who also claim that michael brown was shot in the back. and for some reason, the media attaches to these narratives

st. louis county police association took issue with that on monday. rams officials met with two police groups here in the st. louis area yesterday and after that is when all of this started to kind of unravel. spokesperson for the st. louis county police department says that the chief operating officer of the rams had apologized and then we went back to the rams, they said that an apology didn't take place and then what was interesting is the st. louis county police department on its twitter feed then put out the definition of an apology writing "apology, expression of regret for not being able to do something." so all of this kind of taking on a bizarre tone as this situation between the rams and various police organizations here in the st. louis area reaches another level, but as we mentioned, the nfl is not going to take any action with these players, and the team's coach says that the players won't be disciplined either. >> they're exercising their right to free speech. they will not be disciplined by the club nor will they be disciplined by the nation

st. louis rams protest. st. olice called the rams players' hands up protest in support of ferguson protesters tasteless, offensive, and inflammatory. the st. louis police chief claims the rams official apologized, but the team is denying any apology was made. this shows the deep division and why so many people are looking for an outlet. do you have any problem with this outlet? >> absolutely not. it's interesting whether or not an apology was made. it's emblematic through the own lens of how they understand the world and this is just another example of that kind of miscommunication. >> chuck? >> i don't know, rev. i don't know. i'm just saying there's a time to protest and make political statements and there's a time not to. i don't know. >> i think it's curious -- that was very good. it's cure whious that the police department is spending so much time on the perfectly reasonable protest and, you know, of the rams because haven't they got enough to deal with? i.e., their police force. 50 police officers, white, t

st. louis rams. you have the players in front of the nation and many around the world who are watching that game and a few of them put their arms in the air to show solidarity with their community. you have the police officers union coming out and aggressively saying, this was wrong. why would they do it? again and again, michael brown's side of the story, they say, has been disproven? were you shocked that they would come out and say that? >> was i shocked that the police officers would say that? >> yeah. >> definitely. i thought they hired a publicist. didn't they hire some pr firm to help them navigate this water? that's just another misstep in a series of misstems. don't forget, if you read the grand jury witness testimony, what you found was several people. most of the people who testify said that officer wilson shot michael brown when his hands were in the air. so while it's true that the criminal justice system may not have indicted officer wilson, that doesn't erase the fact that people said
