REPORT: President Didn't Watch St. Louis County Prosecutor's Announcement... .......................................................................................................................................... CBS News reports that Obama did not watch St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch’s announcement, but his aides did and briefed him. It was the fifth time Obama addressed Brown’s death. In a late-night statement from the White House, Obama said it was understandable that some Americans would be “deeply disappointed — even angered” that police officer Darren Wilson wasn’t indicted. Yet he echoed Brown’s parents in calling for any protests to be peaceful, saying that their wishes should be honored as they grieve their son. At the same time, Obama sought to dispel the notion that race relations have deteriorated, the protests in Ferguson notwithstanding. He called for Americans to turn their attention to ways to bring police and their communities closer together. “That won’t be done by throwing bottles. That won’t be done by smashing car windows. That won’t be done by using this as an excuse to vandalize property,” Obama said. “It certainly won’t be done by hurting anybody.” Yet the scene playing out in suburban Missouri, just minutes after the grand jury’s announcement, stood in stark contrast to Obama’s calls for calm. As Obama spoke live from the White House briefing room, television networks showed Obama on one side of the screen, and violent demonstrations in Ferguson on the other. More than 80 people were arrested in Ferguson and St. Louis. “This is not just an issue for Ferguson, this is an issue for America,” Obama said. “There are still problems, and communities of color aren’t just making this up.” The Justice Department is conducting a separate investigation into possible civil rights violations that could result in federal charges. Attorney General Eric Holder called Brown’s death a “tragedy” and said federal investigators were taking pains not to jump to conclusions. “While constructive efforts are under way in Ferguson and communities nationwide, far more must be done to create enduring trust,” Holder said. The uproar sparked by Brown’s death has challenged Obama to find constructive, measured ways to address the deep racial tensions exposed by the incident without alienating law enforcement or casting undue blame amid ongoing investigations. In 2012, Obama spoke passionately after the death of teenager Trayvon Martin, telling the public that “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
