Ferguson

On Tuesday, during a peaceful protest march to the St. Louis County prosecutor’s office in Clayton, Mo., the county seat of St. Louis County, demonstrators chanted “Don’t shoot!” and raised their hands over their heads in a pose that has been adopted by protesters who say Mr. Brown was shot while in a similar position.

President Obama, in his first comments about the shooting, called the death of Mr. Brown heartbreaking but urged residents to remain calm. “I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions,” the president said in statement Tuesday, “but as details unfold, I urge everyone in Ferguson, Mo., and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding.”

Yeah, I think that’s why they’re so pissed. They reflected and they understood.
