i think it has created another opportunity for us in st. louiso actually begin looking at the relationship between the police department and communities of color throughout the metropolitan area. we've had some meetings this morning with justice department officials to talk about this opportunity for training, better communication, changing the culture of policing throughout st. louis county. we think it's an extraordinary opportunity to move this region, this county to another level. >> if what happened in ferguson has already started those local and regional discussions, that you just described, talking about policing in a broader way, the relationship of the police to the communities they serve, does that make it less important that the federal government does a broader review of the ferguson police department? they do have the power to come in and put ferguson pd under federal investigation on civil rights grounds? do you think that's a moot issue if it's being handled locally? >> i don't think it's a moot issue at all. thomas jefferson said

us today as well as the leaders in this region. we appreciate the stress you have been under. we also went to thank our great friends in st. louis. lways deeply involved in the community and willing to assist us in any way, and i thank him for the excellent leadership he provided in this region. i want to thank everybody for joining us. that me go through with what we have done today and then we will hear from a couple folks and take questions. this morning i was briefed by city officials on the events of yesterday evening and morning. i also spoke this morning with edesident obama who convey his concern and her appreciation in our efforts to resolve it. i took a moment to visit the scene this morning where earlier this week a young man, a man not much younger than my own sons, bosses like. i appreciate the opportunity to speak with and hear from members of the neighborhood directly affected by the events of the last six days. they told me they want a community that is helping and happy and take. s to want their street be free from intimidation. they want to be treated with respect. today my message to the people of ferguson is th
