In an interview with Robin Roberts for ABC News' Good Morning America, President Barack Obama urged protesters to pursue a "peaceful" approach to police reforms after two days of violent protests in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"I think it's important to separate out the pervasive sense of frustration among a lot of African-Americans about shootings of people and the sense that justice is not always color blind," he told Roberts.
Obama also noted the difference between those who have been protesting peacefully and those who have engaged in violence after the police-involved shooting of Keith Lamont Scott.
"The way we change the system requires to be able to reach out and engage the broader American community," he continued. "That requires being peaceful, that requires being thoughtful about what are the specific reforms you're looking for."
