Obama, pictured on Wednesday, made his first remarks on Ferguson police's racial discrimination. President Obama said the type of racial discrimination found in Ferguson, Missouri, is not unique to that police department, and he cast law enforcement reform as a chief struggle for today's civil rights movement. Obama said improving civil rights and civil liberties with police is one of the areas that 'requires collective action and mobilization' 50 years after pivotal civil rights marches brought change to the country. The president made his first remarks about this week's Justice Department report of racial bias in Ferguson, which found officers routinely discriminating against blacks by using excessive force. The Justice Department refused to prosecute Ferguson cop Darren Wilson despite compiling a 350,000-page report on racial profiling in the Missouri city which 'led to' him fatally shooting unarmed black teen Michael Brown on August 9, 2014. 'I don't think that is typical of what happens across the country, but it's not an isolated incident,' Obama told The Joe Madison Radio Show on Sirius XM radio's Urban View channel. 'I think that there are circumstances in which trust between communities and law enforcement have broken down, and individuals or entire departments may not have the training or the accountability to make sure that they're protecting and serving all people and not just some.' Obama's interview was to preview his trip Saturday to Selma, Alabama, where he plans to speak from the Edmund Pettus Bridge, where white police officers beat civil rights protesters on March 7, 1965. Obama last visited Selma in 2007, when he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination and spoke about the responsibility of those who came after the civil rights generation of the '60s to carry on the struggle. It was a theme he reiterated ahead of his return visit. In another interview with radio host Tom Joyner, Obama said that despite the progress in race relations over the past 50 years, the Justice Department findings about Ferguson show that civil rights 'is an unfinished project.' 'There is work to be done right now,' he said. On Friday, Obama was kicking off the weekend's 50th anniversary with a town hall meeting at South Carolina's Benedict College, a historically black college. The White House said Obama plans to speak about efforts young people made throughout history to expand opportunity. Obama's visit to Columbia is his first trip to South Carolina as president. Obama has just two other states to reach his goal of traveling to all 50 in office - South Dakota and Utah. Catalyst: The Justice Department began the civil rights investigation following the August shooting of Michael Brown (left), an unarmed black 18-year-old, by white police officer Darren Wilson (right) The Justice Department report of bias in Ferguson that came out this week revealed that 88 per cent of people against whom police used excessive force were African-American (a protester pictured on August 15 last year during a demonstration)

Obama, som föreställdes på onsdag, gjorde sina första kommentarer om Fergusonpolisens rasdiskriminering. President Obama sade att den typ av rasdiskriminering som finns i Ferguson, Missouri, inte är unik för den polismyndigheten, och han kastade brottsbekämpande reformer som en huvudkamp för dagens medborgarrättsrörelse. Obama sade att förbättra medborgerliga rättigheter och medborgerliga fri- och rättigheter med polis är ett av de områden som "kräver kollektiva åtgärder och mobilisering" 50 år efter centrala medborgarrättsmarscher förde förändring till landet. Presidenten gjorde sina första kommentarer om veckans justitiedepartements rapport om rasfördomar i Ferguson, som fann officerare rutinmässigt diskriminera mot svarta genom att använda överdrivet våld. Justitiedepartementet vägrade att åtala Ferguson-polisen Darren Wilson trots att han sammanställde en 350.000 sidor lång rapport om rasprofilering i Missouri stad som "ledde till" honom dödligt skjuta obeväpnad svart tonåring Michael Brown den 9 augusti 2014. "Jag tror inte att det är typiskt för vad som händer över hela landet, men det är inte en isolerad händelse," Obama berättade The Joe Madison Radio Show på Sirius XM radio Urban View kanal. "Jag tror att det finns omständigheter där förtroendet mellan samhällen och brottsbekämpning har brutit samman, och individer eller hela avdelningar kanske inte har utbildning eller ansvarsskyldighet för att se till att de skyddar och tjänar alla människor och inte bara vissa." Obamas intervju var att förhandsgranska sin resa lördag till Selma, Alabama, där han planerar att tala från Edmund Pettusbron, där vita poliser slog medborgarrättsdemonstranter den 7 mars 1965. Obama besökte senast Selma 2007, när han kandiderade till demokraternas presidentval och talade om ansvaret för dem som kom efter 60-talets medborgarrättsgeneration att fortsätta kampen. Det var ett tema som han upprepade inför sitt återbesök. I en annan intervju med radiovärden Tom Joyner, Obama sade att trots framstegen i rasrelationer under de senaste 50 åren, justitiedepartementet resultat om Ferguson visar att medborgerliga rättigheter "är ett oavslutat projekt. " "Det finns arbete att göra just nu, sade han. I fredags sparkade Obama igång helgens 50-årsjubileum med ett rådhusmöte på South Carolinas Benedict College, ett historiskt svart college. Vita huset sade Obama planerar att tala om insatser ungdomar gjort genom historien för att utöka möjligheter. Obamas besök i Columbia är hans första resa till South Carolina som president. Obama har bara två andra delstater för att nå sitt mål att resa till alla 50 i ämbetet - South Dakota och Utah. Katalysator: Justitiedepartementet inledde civilrättsutredningen efter augustiskjutningen av Michael Brown (vänster), en obeväpnad svart 18-åring, av vit polis Darren Wilson (höger) Justitiedepartementets rapport om partiskhet i Ferguson som kom ut denna vecka avslöjade att 88 procent av de personer mot vilka polisen använde överdrivet våld var afroamerikaner (en demonstranter som föreställdes den 15 augusti förra året under en demonstration) Här är en sammanfattning av höjdpunkterna för denna artikel:
