St Louis Rams raise arms in solidarity with Ferguson protesters
Britt: I don't want the community to think we turned a blind eye
A number of black players for NFL franchise St Louis Rams raised their hands in solidarity with the Ferguson protesters before their match against the Oakland Raiders Sunday night.
Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt emerged first with their hands raised, followed by Jared Cook, Stedman Bailey and Chris Givens, who stood together with their teammates in the fog in compassion for Michael Brown who was fatally shot on August 9 by police officer Darren Wilson.
Brown was unarmed and witnesses say he had his hands up when Wilson — who resigned from the force on Saturday — shot him.
