protesters upset at Michael Brown's death.
The St. Louis Police
Officers Association says it's "profoundly disappointed" with those
football players who sent a silent but strong message before playing
Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.
Stedman Bailey, Tavon
Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt walked onto the field
and raised their palms in the air, demonstrating the "hands up, don't
shoot" gesture that protesters in Ferguson have been using for months.
Some say that Michael
Brown, an unarmed black teenager, had his arms up when a white police
officer, Darren Wilson, shot him to death August 9 in Ferguson, a St.
Louis suburb. Wilson and others say Brown was not trying to surrender
and in fact was attacking Wilson.
