President Obama Responds to Ferguson Grand Jury Decision

President Obama holds a series of meetings with community leaders and cabinet members, specifically to look at how police work with people.

While we were away during Thanksgiving break, a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri announced that no charges would be filed against Darren Wilson, the white police officer who shot an unarmed African American teenager during a dispute.

In meetings this week, President Obama said he plans to issue an executive order to create a task force which will look into policing in the 21st century.

That would include the use of officers wearing cameras on their uniforms.
