Former Navy SEAL Considers Bid for Missouri Governor

The Takeaway | Mar 10, 2015

Last week's damning Department of Justice report on the Ferguson police department has further exacerbated the leadership challenges faced by the local community. Ferguson's Municipal Court Judge Ronald Brockmeyer resigned after the report held him responsible for instituting additional and excessive fees for minor offenses.

The city's top court clerk was fired, as were two police officers responsible for sending racist emails. But the police chief remains in place, as does the city manager.

Meanwhile, Ferguson Mayor Jason Knowles says they are committed to change. But how do you build back trust between residents and those in power? One person who has a few ideas is Eric Greitens. A former Navy Seal and the author of a new book all about resilience, Greitens says that he's exploring a run for governor of Missouri as a Republican next year.
