First, the split screen on MSNBC is inappropriate. Second, Ferguson's corrupt pd should be getting scolded right now, not the protesters.

It would have been better to just not say anything.

split screen is showing all hell breaking loose. Obama did not choose the right moment to make this speech.

Never an excuse for violence - while the violence is going on.

In light of the degree of corruption at the Local, State & Federal level, Mr President, not many believe that statement.
Rule of law depends on wealth, race, and level of society one exists at.

Rule of Law failed Michael Brown.
