Obama urges calm in Ferguson amid grand jury decision

President Barack Obama urged the people of Ferguson, Missouri, on Monday to react peacefully to a grand jury's decision not to indict a white policeman in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen, and for police to show restraint. Obama spoke in the White House briefing room shortly after a county prosecutor announced the grand jury's decision regarding the Aug. 9 shooting that set off weeks of sometimes violent protests in the St. Louis suburb and highlighted racial tensions in the community.
