The President is about to speak, will he apologize to Cambridge Police Dept. and Sgt. James Crowley?Should he?

If Crowley's version is to be believed, why were charges dropped?

I just watched the 'Press Conference' of the Cambridge Police Dept.

What a sorry bunch!

Arrogant and wilfully ignorant of what actually happens in the streets. But that's okay, they were mostly old and white. (That's allowed, no, that's normal)

After this idiot cop, (Gates) got his 'suspect' to identify himself, he should have thanked the 'suspect' and left.

Instead, he chose to teach an 'uppity black man' a lesson.

Heads are going to roll.

This thing isn't over yet.

If Gates were white, and Crowley a black cop, Crowley would have been suspended while 'investigations were being held'.

This thing isn't over yet.

And by the reaction of most conservatives here and in the media, you guys have just driven the few 'minority group members' that might have supported your party away.

Cops are civil servants, and should act that way.

Yes he owes him an apology. He should have gotten the facts before he commented. Actually I would hope that he has more pressing things to do than get involved in such a minor, barely news item. Say " I'm sorry" then move on to something important.

I think he should man up and apologize . I cant tell the future he just may do that or not . He would be a wise man if he did . If he does then what will you all think ? Would it still be a lose lose situation for him ? If so then what would be the point ?

He sure knows how to apologize for the rest of us.

No! He should just stay out of it!

No more meddling

EDIT - well, look at that! He did apologize. And he did it with class. Hopefully we can all put this to bed now.

Maybe he will apologize to Asians in LA.... when blacks were pissed off at White cops but were too lazy to walk a couple blocks to White neighborhoods so blacks instead burn Asian stores

Obama temporarily forgot how to apologize.

This frequently exercised skill of his will probably return when Obama visits Tehran or Mumbasa

He should apologize to Sg. Crowley, but he won't.

He is too arrogant to apologize. Of course he should.

the other day it was the police,,,,,yesterday he called the guy who pitched a perfect game....he should just keep his mouth shut as often as possible.....it's too much....make him go away....

this police comment could cause a race war.....
