Five days after the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old fatally shot by a local police officer, President Obama joined state and national leaders in calling for changes to how police are dealing with protesters in Ferguson, Missouri, amid continued street clashes.
"I know that emotions are raw right now in Ferguson," President Obama said at a news conference this afternoon. "There is never excuse for violence against the police or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. ... There is also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail."
Obama's comments came as the FBI told ABC News that it issued a warning to police officers that a Black Panther leader was trying to incite violence against law enforcement in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis.

On the Second City Cop blog, a Chicago cop blog, that is being more frequently brought up as a solution to an untenable position.
Let me guess... The police should attack white people only and Obama get a cut from the loot. Communist and FSB services serve each other?
Ready for the “Fried Chicken” summit.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
Typical Obama. Does he have any reason to believe the police are “just throwing protesters in jail”?
If Obama had a son, he’d look like Michael Brown... or the looters.... or both.

Excessive force by the police or the looters?
I hope the local cops remember this bastard when the feds tell them to round everyone up and take them to the camps.
Whatever happened to waiting until all the facts are in?
I’m certain that he advised us to wait for the results of the investigation...Did he also decry the totally ridicculous violencs there? Did he happen to mention that private property was destroyed, personal and business merchandise was stolen by thugs....and yes, people may have been forced out of business because of his people rioting when said riots would gain them nothing....PATHETIC
community organizers don’t use facts
Why won’t one reporter ask Obama about the two thug shooting the infant in the face?
What a stupid, stupid man. Could he ever get a job in the real world? I mean, not without government help?
He’s waiting on the proper narrative. My guess is the cop goes under the bus. But that will make all government law enforcement look bad which is what they want to avoid.
Coming from someone who had Golfers Frisked
You know, the sad and sick irony of these riots is that the looting is going to hurt black business owners. The sad and sick irony of this is that, by extension, Obama essentially sided with hurting blacks by the looting by not condemning it also.
When you say, “Budweiser” you’ve said it all. Time for another beer summit?
I'm sure the DNC was calling the shots with the governor, just like they did with Blank-Oh during Katrina.
We need to convince Obama that the Kurds are “Black” and the Muslim Jihadists who are cutting their heads off are “White Republicans.”
That will motivate him
