Obama urges police to respect protesters in Ferguson, Missouri
FERGUSON Mo./EDGARTOWN Mass. (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama called on police Thursday to respect demonstrators in Ferguson, Missouri, in an attempt to defuse tensions after four nights of often-violent protests over the police killing of an unarmed black teenager.
'There is no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protesters or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their first amendment rights," he told the press from Edgartown, Massachusetts, near where he is vacationing with his family.
simply disgusting that our leader is defending vandals and looters. this country is going to end up in another civil war
Fueling racial tension? I'm pretty sure the police did that when they killee an innocent black teen and proceeded to deny citizens their rights and treat them like animals. With the amount of equipment being used, you'd think it was a war zone.
They have a right to peacefully protest and record police actions. The looting and violence needs to be handled but from what I heard most of it has been peaceful

How is he "FUELING" racial tension. I am pretty sure it is fueled by the police. They killed an innocent man and left him dead on the street for four hours. They are throwing tear gas and rubber bullets to peace protesters. There is a photo of a police officer CASUALLY MACING an 8 year old black girl who was protesting.
He actually did. The OP just failed to mention that. Also, that only happened one day and it was not even residents of Ferguson. The residents are doing peaceful rallies and are getting tear gassed. Even the MISSOURI SENATOR said she was tear gassed in a peaceful rally.
