I'm sure it's been mentioned but MSNBC's website has had a few very good write ups and some good coverage of everything going on.

Mayor needs to shut up on CNN.
Mayor looks like he is way out of his league.
If you can't handle an interview then make statements.

This mayor sure gives me confidence..wow.
Why it's like the whole situation can be summed up in one video. He doesn't know what happened but he is sure the police were justified.

30%? I'm expecting mostly empty reprimands and sympathy, but I could be surprised
I say yes about 51%

Ferguson Mayor.
He's confused, lacks knowledge of facts, and trying to justifies the arrest of Reporters.
Ferguson's. He's talking about the anonymous thing.

It's only 11:18am Central. Expect some outlandish police brutality by 6pm. No.

Missouri has a failure to identify law, the arrests were actually valid because they refused to identify.
not expecting much, but it would be fantastic if he wholly and completely condemned the actions of the police.
You saw what happened to Eric Cantor, right? His constituents thought he was going to support immigration reform, so they threw him out of office. You're right, most Americans support immigration reform. Most Americans also support better gun control, but do you see anything getting done on that front? Nope. The gerrymandered districts and hard right wingers has stalled legislation for years, why would they come together on this issue? Republicans are always "tough on crime" and if a GOP politician decided to get a little "softer" on crime, he'd be out just like Cantor.

Vince McMahon has a better chance of saying something with real worth than Obama does.

So valid that they let them go without letting them know why they got arrested! p

They did identify. They had their media badges and showed them.
And they also let them go without telling them why they were arrested.

The news articles I have been reading stated the reason for the initial detention was a failure to identify, and the final charge was trespass. I would argue the initial detention was valid, and there was good reason to believe there was criminal trespass. McDonalds is not a place you can set up your own personal business.

The mayor telling her she was wrong, then she asks him if he's going on record, and responds with "lolidk I want there. I'm spending more time here with you than I am getting answers."
Holy shit that guy.
Holy shit that guy.
According to the reporters when they were arrested they were wearing their press credentials and told them they were reporters, so no.

Link to Obama's stream?
From what I've heard, it sounds like the police were the ones who failed to identify themselves to the journalists they were arresting.

Which is why the final charge was not failure to identify. That was merely the reason for the arrest. The charge was actually trespass.

Presser hasn't started yet, right?
c'mon man. You're really believing the polices account?
One showed them his lanyard, the other asked why he needed to identify and they arrested both.
But really, tresspassing... at fucking mcdonalds where they were customers? Get real.
what is this in reference to?
Vinnie Mac would make the town all honorary ECW champs.

Are you saying the GOP can just throw Obama out of office just like that? Lol it doesn't work like that.
I'd also like to think most Democrats would not throw Obama out for speaking more candidly on this sort of situation, but what do I know I'm more or less non-partisan.
