On Monday, President Barack Obama, along with his Cabinet, met with civil rights leaders about the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri,

According to CNN, the president called for a conversation to address the relationship between police officers and the communities they serve. After protests in Ferguson grew violent at times, Obama expressed that anger is not the answer to resolving America's law enforcement issue, which he deemed solvable.

According to the White House, the meeting focused on a review of the militarized equipment provided by federal government.

It was later announced that the federal government will spend $75 million on body cameras for law enforcement that could fund as many as 50,000 cameras for police officers, MSNC reports.

The president is expected to sign an executive order creating a "Task Force on 21st Century Policing" aimed at streamlining federal and local enforcement communication.

Although task forces are known to have little results, Obama told reporters that that will change.

"This time will be different because the president of the United States is deeply vested in making it different," he said, "In the two years I have remaining as president I am going to make sure we follow through."

After the meetings, Attorney General Eric Holder set out on a tour of the country beginning with a forum in Atlanta, Georgia, about Ferguson, Truth Revolt reports.

"The Justice Department's investigation into the shooting death of Michael Brown, as well as our investigation into allegations of unconstitutional policing patterns or practices by the Ferguson Police Department, remains ongoing and active," he said in the forum. "They have been rigorous and independent from the very beginning."

Protesters marched through the streets after a white Ferguson police officer killed an unarmed black teen. After weeks of protests for his arrest, a grand jury did not charge officer Darren Wilson, who said he feared for his life when he shot Michael Brown.
