President Obama Thursday addressed both the ongoing violence in Ferguson, Mo., and the situation in Iraq.

Taking time out of his vacation, Obama said now is the time for peace and reflection in Ferguson while saying it’s unacceptable for police to be using unnecessary violence against protestors. Obama also said there’s no excuse for looting and rioting.
