hospital despite very serious nature of their wounds. the 41-year-old officer from the st. louis county police department was shot in his right shoulder. the bullet exited out his back. that 32-year-old officer from webster grove was shot around the cheek and the bullet is still in his head. harris, back to you. >> mike tobin with very latest in ferguson missouri. mike, thank you very much. we'll bring it out to the couch now. lou, i will start with you. what is going on here in ferguson, missouri, is not happening in a vacuum. i mentioned resignations in the police department and previous statements by attorney general arick holder looking at dismantling that department. your thoughts? >> plainly there are some forces at work here so many people who deserve considerable blame for fomenting an environment like this in which this could occur. chief among those in my opinion are the president of the united states and the attorney general and the way which they handled this community's crisis.
