Redskins Run Onto Field Before Game with Hands Up for Michael Brown

Redskins Run Onto Field Before Game with Hands Up for Michael Brown « CBS DC:
"From nearly 1,000 miles away, several Redskins players used the Monday Night Football stage to draw attention to the situation that has been unfolding in Ferguson, Missouri by running onto FedExField with their hands up in the air.
Ferguson is where unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed by a white police officer on Aug. 9.
Witnesses have said he was not aggressive toward the officer and had his hands raised above his head before he was shot.
As a result, the words “hands up, don’t shoot” have become a rallying cry of protesters, both in Ferguson and online.
Following Washington’s win against Cleveland, WNEW learned the idea for the gesture came from safety Brandon Meriweather and cornerback DeAngelo Hall.
“We just want to show our supporters what’s going on in St. Louis,” Meriweather said.
“We just wanted to show support.”
“That could have been any one of us,” said free safety Ryan Clark. 
“That could have been any one of our brothers, our cousins… 
When you get an opportunity to make a statement, and be more than a football player, it’s good.”"
