President Obama responded to the unrest in Ferguson Tuesday by calling for calm in remarks that drew a strict contrast to his more impassioned speech last year on the killing of Trayvon Martin. Obama condemned the destruction of property by some protesters in Ferguson.

President Obama: “I have no sympathy at all for — for destroying your own communities. But for the overwhelming majority of people who just feel frustrated and pained because they get a sense that maybe some communities aren’t treated fairly or some individuals aren’t seen as worthy as others, I understand that, and I want to work with you, and I want to move forward with you. Your president will be right there with you.”
