st. louis county police chief later acknowledged yeah, we probably shouldn't have been using rifle scopesto check out the crowd. that maybe wasn't the best idea. so, i mean, you know, just the way this was handled i think is something that's going to be subject of a report out of the justice department. an after-action report looking at what they did and what they could have done better. i don't think like a lot of other cities that were able to prepare for a planned event. when something pops up like this, that's something they need to figure out how to take care of. >> so it wasn't the fact that what went down in ferguson is what brought to the attention of most of americans the fact that we have overmilitarized our police departments and that led directly to the president's decision today? >> i think that's only a part of it. over-militarization is one thing, but the attitude behind that is another. when you're in your own becomeackyard and you feel like you're the enemy. and the attitude makes that even worse or compounds that fact i think that would make anyone tense and frustrated.
