[font size="3"]Rams, police differ on apology story for players' Ferguson protest[/font]

December 2, 2014
by Lindsay H. Jones

St. Louis County police and the Rams are at odds Monday night over whether a team official apologized for the "hands up-don't shoot" gesture performed by five players before Sunday's game.

Neither law enforcement officials nor Kevin Demoff, the Rams' executive vice president and chief operations officer, dispute that Demoff reached out to St. Louis area police officials on Monday, a day after five Rams players made the famous gesture during pregame introductions. The content of those conversations, and the semantics of Demoff's words, are up for debate.

Demoff told the St. Louis Post-Dispatchthat he did not apologize for the players' actions, but that he "regretted any offense their officers may have taken."

"We do believe it is possible to both support our players' First Amendment rights and support the efforts of local law enforcement as our community begins to heal," Demoff told the paper late Monday.

In an email to USA TODAY Sports on Monday night, St. Louis County police spokesman Brian Schellman said Chief Jon Belmar "believed it to be an apology."

"Demoff further stated 'I regretted any offense the officer's may have taken.' Even though Mr. Demoff stated he never apologized, the Chief believed it to be an apology and the Chief sent the email to police staff to let them know about the call, after he told Mr. Demoff he would share his sentiments with his staff," Schellman said.

St. Louis Rams, Police Disagree Over 'Apology' for Players' Ferguson Gesture

snip//

St. Louis Rams official spoke with local police officials Monday, after five players from the team entered their home field Sunday with their arms raised, showing support for nearby Ferguson – a gesture that drew ire from law enforcement. But Rams Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff and police officials disagree over whether Demoff’s efforts marked an apology.

Demoff says he did not apologize for the players’ actions.

"In those conversations, I expressed regret that players actions were construed negatively against law enforcement," Demoff told ESPN.com.

"At no time in any of the conversations did I apologize for the actions of our players," Demoff added. " do believe it is possible to support both our players' first amendment rights and the efforts of local law enforcement to make this a better community."

Demoff’s statement was spurned by St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar sending an email to staff Monday, alerting them of Demoff’s “apology.”

You know, the police should be apologizing ... to the African-American community.

Where's the outrage over that!

The Outrage is in our streets..
