President Obama Begs Protesters in aftermath of Ferguson Verdict says anger is 'understandable'

President Obama addresses the outrage protesters following the Ferguson verdict not indicting the police officer.

Dispelling black activists' distrust for police 'won't be done by smashing car windows,' Obama said, as cable news screens showed windows being smashed and reporters warned of shots fired. 'There is no excuse for violence,' he said.

'Those who are only interested in violence and just want the problem to go away should realize that we have work to do here.'

 But shots rang out, looters rampaged and fires burned as he made his statement.
