unguarded. thanks to both of you being here. >> thank you. >> chris, you were at the game sunday and have pictures. what did you think as players ran out onto the field? >> first i didn't know exactly what kenny was doing. he stopped and put his hands up. hen i realized and said oh my goodness. they're putting their hands up. i thought it was a tremendous kind of gesture in terms of what they did. they stood in solidarity. i think what's unfortunate is it's seen they're completely taking sides rather than it being a surrender to progress saying one decision does not just clear everything up. we have to commit to moving forward. i think that's what the rams have been about from the beginning in supporting the ferguson community and moving forward. >> chris, this is what jared cook said to espn. he said "we haven't been able to

an american. what we saw the night of the announcement, the unrest, the looting, the burning, the violence, that wasn't right. that should never have happened and no one should make an excuse for it. but yeah, these are younger, mostly younger people who are feeling they're not being heard. they feel that mike brown did not get -- at least his family has not gotten a fair shot and they feel the officer should have been indicted. so the grand jury says that he should not be indicted. we have to abide by that, but these people have every right to protest. so if they want to do it, they want to do it. but justice has been served, many people just don't like the way it was served. >> john, now that darren wilson has resigned from the police department in ferguson, is the community calmer there? what is the latest on the ground feeling? >> well, the last few nights have been relatively peaceful. people are still waiting to see

substantive change that will make policing in every community in america be one that people can have faith in and trust in. so if he comes to ferguson, i'm sure they will receive him. but if not, they understand that he has the position where he can help make tremendous change that we've never seen before in the way -- but also with the grand jury system that i've said over and again is broken and needs to be indicted and changed so we will have police officers held accountable if they illegally kill young people of color. >> has the president been in direct touch with the brown family? >> no, the attorney general, eric holder, has been speaking on his behalf to the brown family. >> would it be appropriate if the president did come to ferguson for him to sit down with the brown family? i raise the question only because you're a lawyer, you

problems are and most importantly try to come up with concrete solutions that can move the ball forward. one of the most powerful things that happened today was i had the opportunity to meet with some young people, including a couple of young outstanding leaders from the ferguson community, britney and rasheem, who both served on the ferguson committee, live in the area and i think have been hearing from a lot of young people in that area. and what made me concerned was the degree to which they feel as if they are not heard or that the reality of what they experience has been denied, what made me greatly encouraged was how clear their voices were when they were heard and how constructive they are in wanting to solve these problems. and i think anybody who had a chance to listen to them here
