Relations between St. Louis law enforcement and the St. Louis Rams have been cool of late, but this may help. Via the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
The St. Louis Rams presented a $50,000 donation before Thursday night’s game to The Backstoppers Inc., a charity that helps fallen police. The move comes after five players displayed a pre-game “hands up” gesture last month that offended many officers.
The team gave an equal amount to Reinvest North County to help small businesses and schools in Ferguson.
The Backstoppers also supports families of firefighters and EMS officers killed in the line of duty.
It is not an apology, but it might, in the long run, be better.
