Why Obama won’t give the Ferguson speech his supporters want

President Obama's statement,
delivered moments after St. Louis
County Prosecutor Bob
McCulloch rendered the grand
jury's verdict , was a plea for calm.
It was steady and evenhanded.
Obama recognized the fear and
anger of both sides. He called for
calm. He argued that the two sides

"Nobody needs good policing more
than poor communities with high
crime rates," he said. And, in doing,
he disappointed many who had
hoped to hear something more
impassioned, more outraged, from
the president:

See Amaechi
