pies, mr. louis and mr. johnson, you have all raised concerns and raised issues and certainly issues that you have said the commissioners all have individualized and so many collective views on. i cannot say i agree with everything that was said here, but what i can say that we hear there are concerns. we are working very hard to address those concerns and we are always willing to listen. next item. city clerk: line item 3. chiefs reports, review activities. >> commissioners, public, i'm going defer most of my time to the presentation on the redistricting. i know there is a lot of people here that want to hear it. that said, we did unfortunately have two officers or actually unfortunately have two officers where they were convicted friday afternoon on felonies in federal court. you have paperwork in their packets where i'm requesting immediate termination. one of those officers has already resigned. the resignation is in there as well. i think it's important though that i do have assurance from the u.s. atto

louis county police say they are also investigating. no charges have been filed. police plan to interview mr. head and have already interviewed people who know him. brown's family attorney condemned the outburst when it happened and again on cnn overnight. >> it is not appropriate in any way. 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 around them. they can't control what others do. they can control what they pray for. >> reporter: the protests that night quickly turned destructive and violent with cars and buildin buildin buildings torched. meanwhile, the back and forth continues as the five st. louis rams players put up their hands in protest. the union quickly denounced the action and the rams reached out to the officers saying they, quote, regretted any offense taken and added, "the rams will continue to build on what has always been strong and valued relationships with local law enforcement and the greatest st. louis com

mr. mccullough last week. >> he's the st. louis county prosecutor.d, marc. >> wolf, i remind all the viewers in the case of rodney king, this was a federal investigation, indictment and successful prosecution after the state court proceedings failed. in another case here in new york, you have the very same thing, a federal investigation, which was successful in securing convictions of police officers after the state proceedings failed. and in the danzinger king case in new orleans, a federal prosecution took place by the justice department under eric holder, which led to a conviction. that case is certainly on appeal the u.s. circuit. but there is a pattern of the justice department being successful, not with standing the high bar that many talked about. so i think people, we all should respect, and i believe the attorney general is doing the absolute right thing by conducting a separate and independent investigation. and it's consistent with what the justice department has done in the past where state systems do not seem to be able to or unwilling t

you remember louis head is the stepfather of michael brown. telling people to burn this down. mr.since apologized for the comments saying he made them in a fit of rage. he was angry and he did not want to see this community burn down. in the meantime, we are also hearing from the governor of the state. jay nixon. you will remember he took heat on how he deployed the national guard after the rioting took place. take a listen. >> there are business owners who said if the national guard would have been there, my business would not have been burning down. the loss of property was significant. clearly. individual business owners, our hearts go out to them. when you put in context we did not have a single person shot or law enforcement or trooper or national guard members shot or weapons discharged in that difficult situation, had to make decision about life. >> reporter: in the aftermath of what happened in new york with eric garner, a handful of protesters in front of the police department. john and christine. >> bizarre and scary story from the middle east. an american teacher stabbe

louis county police are looking into this situation. they are interviewing people who know mr. head and we understand that they also plan to interview mr. head himself but you'll remember, we've heard from michael brown's attorneys. we've heard also from michael brown's mother all basically saying this was a moment of great frustration, of outrage in the moment of what we heard mr. head say was simply out of frustration. that's what we're hearing from them. but, again, an investigation is under way, jake. >> george how welell, thank you much. that video could play a role in whether the police decide to charge him or not. jeff roorda is the business manager for the st. louis police officer association and a st. louis representative. what else can police look at in deciding whether to charge anyone with incitement to riot. what are the other things besides the tape that police will be looking at? >> well, i think, jake, the standard at law is whether their actions actually resulted in rioting behavior, unlawful behavior. and as you pointed out, there's law enforcement authorities
