With Ferguson, Missouri, bracing for a second night of violence and vandalism in the wake of the grand jury decision, President Obama warned protesters that “nothing of significance, nothing of benefit results from destructive acts.”
“I’ve never seen a civil rights law or a health care bill or an immigration bill result because a car got burned,” Obama said at an afternoon event in Chicago today originally scheduled to promote his recent immigration action. "It happened because people vote. It happened because people mobilized. It happened because people organized.”
he president, who was briefed earlier today on the situation in Ferguson by Attorney General Eric Holder, said a grand jury decision not to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown should be respected. But he said frustration over real or perceived police injustice was legitimate and needs to be addressed.
“I have no sympathy at all for destroying your own communities. But for the overwhelming majority of people who just feel frustrated and pain, because they get a sense that maybe some communities aren't treated fairly or some individuals aren't seen as worthy as others, I understand that,” Obama said. “And I want to work with you, and I want to move forward with you. Your president will be right there with you."
Obama said a series of regional meetings between federal, state and local law enforcement officials and community and faith leaders would begin next week. They will be focused on “building trust” between communities and policy, and developing strategies to “make sure that law enforcement is fair.”

Unless its done by the government...
What a liar!
He’s the very one that incited the riots by telling the insurgents to “stay the course.”
If he doesn’t have any sympathy for the looters and rioters, he needs to get out there on the front lines, help the cops and give orders to shoot.
Liar.
President Pants on Fire. He has no problem with this mayhem, but has to say otherwise.
I don’t like them burning dead bodies at the scene of the “gentle giant’s” demise either, Barry.
The federal government is injecting itself into EVERYTHING.
Local and state officials have got to stand up and tell the Feds to back off.
“Organization” is helped by Obama”Phones”—Barry Soetoro handed the “free” phones out years ago for JUST such an occasion.
Obama mis calculated and over reached to manufacture a disaster in Ferguson.
Now he is desperate to cover up his involvement and hide from the tragic consequences of his irresponsible and disastrous actions to stir up trouble in Ferguson
Can’t wait until the specialty team he had stage shootings all over the nation to rouse the anti-gun grab crowd goes whistleblower on him and tells us what they did to set them up...if they weren’t given a burn notice that s.
The feckless fool on the hill, the feckless fool, the liar on the hill, the liar, liar...
dear Barry
you repugnant dumb schmuck
weve had about enough
sincerely
M.M
last nights damage.....YOU OWE SOMEBODY!
He’s actually telling the truth for a rare exception to his otherwise near-perfect record. He couldn’t care less about them, in fact, if a few got killed he and his party could possibly get 100-500 Dem votes for every charred corpse.
The cynicism with which he treats Blacks is positively Machiavellian. He knows he/they will always have the Black vote and there is no amount of abuse on the face of the earth that might change that in any meaningful way. And that, too, isn’t his fault, like everything else in the s**tstorm swirling around him.
Uh huh. Riiiiiight.
