Obama admits racial discrimination in US amid Ferguson protests

 

According to Press TV, Obama said on Monday night, “The fact is, in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. Some of this is the result of the legacy of racial discrimination in this country.”

The US president added, “There are issues in which the law too often feels it is being applied in discriminatory fashion.”

President Obama said that the recent protests are “an understandable reaction,” noting that he joined “Michael’s parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully.”

He also asked police to show “restraint in managing peaceful protests” occurring across the country and police “need to work with the community, not against the community.”
