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.”

Im listening oddly enough to a live feed of the Ferguson Police Scanner Feed//

bottle and fireworks at the front of the Ferguson PD...again...
on the arrests mentioned:
:”He says at this time he doesn’t have totals for property damages, burglaries, thefts, and arsons because it will take some time to compile....
I can imagine
But we all know that Obama is a habitual liar.
BTW, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period.
Hah. Even that wasn't his.

...Everything you see, everything you ear or wear, your car, your housing – you didn’t make any of these things. We don’t produce these things as individuals. We produce socially. We have a division of work in the United States, and in the whole world for that matter. People in one part of the world make things which people in another part of the world use...
Re: “President Obama warned protesters that “nothing of significance, nothing of benefit results from destructive acts.”
So, what are you doing to stop it, Mr President?
Telling a rioter to “stay the course” only means one thing. Keep rioting.
Community Organizer = Communist Agitator
As a ‘community organizer’ this kind of behavior (or the implied threat thereof) was the source of his power.
According to this article, 61 arrests have been made:
But, that is not enough!
These criminals need to come to understand that lawless behavior will not be tolerated. But, in order to send that message, LEO bosses (IOW, feckless politicians!) have to toughen up and be willing to enforce the law!
I don’t see that happening.
Burning down your neighbors business isn’t much of a useful threat. It’s dumb as hell.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Sorry, Barry. You OWN those rioters. You’ll wear them like a stinking dead albatross around your neck for the rest of your disgraceful tenure in an office you should never have been in even as a tourist.
They’re his useful idiots.
rage against AUTHORITY...
broken families ...broken homes...
broken window
This is your legacy you marxist bastard, own it.
My first response was about the headline. Now I see true to form that he really just wants to race bait some more and turn in the vote for Democrats. SHAME ON HIM.
Shame on me for taking his statement at face value at first. I know better.
WHY would he have SYMPATHY when they are doing what he asked them to do...”STAY THE COURSE”!!! He LOVES what’s happening.
More like, it didn’t destroy Martha’s Vineyard, The White House, or my home in Illinois, it’s only worth calling it wrong. To be honest though, if the state wanted federal aid, they would have to ask for it.
however, redistributive looting is not only condoned but promoted.
That which others have is really yours if you have the guts to take it.
