Has to do with Professor Gates and Cambrige Police.....?

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/07...

There's the actual police report of the incident. It clearly shows the facts of the case and maybe now Obama will read it before opening his mouth about the police being stupid. Hopefully Obama does read it, apologizes and retracts his statement. He won't however, since Gates is a dear friend of his. But it's very obvious that Professor Gates deserved to be arrested. Sgt. Crowley gave him several chances to calm down and he did not take advantage of them. The charges should not have been dropped against Gates.

I know there isn't much of a question here, I just wanted to hear some people's opinions on the actual report.

    Thank you from posting this.

    Unfortunately most folks will just read the media headline of "white cop arrests black man for going in his own house".

    It would seem that the only racial profiling that occurred here, was a white police officer being profiled by a black bigot.

    Pity the students who have sat under this bigoted professor's teaching. And pity the country that has to endure 4 years of a clearly bigoted president.

    All in the same breath, practically, Obama admits that he doesn't have all the facts, BUT that the Cambridge police acted stupidly because it's a fact that cops too frequently arrest Latinos and blacks.

    I thought that only bigots painted whole groups with broad generalizations.

    WoW! That's almost as stupid as Hillary "misremembering" whether or not she and her daughter had walked through a hail of bullets.

    No, Obama's statement is definitely stupider, because he's the President of the United States. Hillary was only trying to be the president when she misspoke.

    I hope Obama offers an apology as well.

    I won't hold my breath.

    I feel that same way, i mean hopefully Obama does take back his words, and if you have read further about this Rev. Al Sharpton has came out and has said the officer is a racist, honestly im my OWN opinion i think Al sharpton is the BIGGEST racist i have ever seen speak, every time a black male is accused of something by the white man he is considered a racist. Also what is he good for, he only gets his fix on coming out and bashing on white people for being racist. Have you ever seen a white person complain about a black officer accusing him of a crime just because he's white? i don't think so. Now answer me this, would this of made the news if a black officer had arrested a white person had supposably broke into a house? i think not. So in the end the officer did his part and Obama needs to open his eyes and realize that he needs to find the details of the situation before he opens his big mouth

    wow, if i were the cop i would be bringing suit against him for slander.. he made a complete scene and kept going. and going. the charges should not have been dropped. it is if it was all planned by him to make a scene for no reason. you do not treat people like that. but it seems he felt above the cop and the cop deserved to be treated that way for doing his job. you would not expect such a "learned" man to behave in such a way. and this idiot is teaching young students LOVELY

    The only 2 who have shown their ignorance are Gates and Obama.
