Schieffer protesting
CBS News Face the Nation anchor Bob Schieffer comments on protests this week, "it's obvious there is a serious disconnect between the police and African Americans in many communities, and it is in all of our interests to fix that. Demonstrations are understandable. It's what we do in America, and they can be an effective way to illustrate a grievance. But we must never forget the most effective way to affect change is the next step -- to vote."
