that he should is unacceptable. i thought that the police chief was going to resign last week along with the mayor with the press conference that we saw right here on your show last week. so this is not really a surprise but it's long overdue. >> the mayor says he is not planning on resigning. the police chief has resigned. the lieutenant colonel will assume the duties as acting chief of police while the city of ferguson undertakes what is described as a nationwide search for a new chief of police. tom fuentes, you are a former fbi assistant director. is it time to do in ferguson what was done in neighboring jennings missouri dissolve the police force there? >> i think that people that ask for that should be careful what they ask for. that means there will be no more local control over policing of that town. if it goes to st. louis county they will have to contact the chief of st. louis county sheriff's office to determine what kind of policing.
