Obama on Ferguson: 'Now is the time for peace'

President Barack Obama expressed concern Thursday about the “violent turn” in Ferguson, Mo., saying “now is the time for healing” following days of protests after a fatal police shooting.
“Now is the time for peace and calm on the streets of Ferguson,” Obama said from Martha’s Vineyard, where he is vacationing. “Now is the time for an open and transparent process to see that justice is done.”
