Ferguson & St. Louis, MO -- Deaths and Protests

[HairOfTheDog]

Takin' It to the Street.......and the Field

Glad the game didn't get cancelled yesterday and the event was peaceful.

Before Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders, several Rams players—including receivers Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt—showed their support by doing the "hands up, don't shoot" signal that has become popular among protesters.



Public Statement of Disapproval from the St. Louis Police:
The St. Louis Police Officers Association is profoundly disappointed with the members of the St. Louis Rams football team who chose to ignore the mountains of evidence released from the St. Louis County Grand Jury this week and engage in a display that police officers around the nation found tasteless, offensive and inflammatory.

NFL Responses:
NFL Vice President of Communications Brian McCarthy said the league will not discipline the St. Louis Rams players who showed support for Ferguson on Sunday, per CNN's Rachel Nichols.

As well, the Rams organization will not fine the players, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
