Black officer at scholar's home supports arrest

Don't get what? You said, "He said from what he knew, they acted stupidly." That's not what he said, he did not say from what he knew, he said "it's fair to say.........that the Cambridge police acted stupidly..." there's a big difference.

He wasn't arrested for trying to get into his own house he was arrested for going fruit loops on them and the still photos support that he did just that.

LOL @ "man-up"

Of course Gates would accept. Maybe the officer will too, I doubt it though.

I didn't quote it exactly..."I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that"....then said they acted stupidly. They did, that's what I believe.

I never said he was arrested for trying to enter his own house, but the police were called because he was trying to get in his own house. Then arrested on a BS disorderly conduct charge(which was dropped) because the cop had his ass up in the air.

The still photos? There's one 1 that I have ever seen from the incident, that doesn't support anything, still photos hardly would support that claim..let alone only 1 of them.

That's manning up, being a man about something...not pouting because Obama hurt his feelings, btw Obama said they BOTH overreacted.

It's none of Obama's business. The president should not involve himself in such matters.

He was brought into it, this happened over a week ago and he hadn't said one word...he was asked the question the night before last and gave his answer.

and he could have and should have reserved comment.

He was asked the question by one of his supporters from the Chicago press. He was 'brought into it' because he wanted to be 'brought into it'.

Some more conspiracy theory bull****? Thought we grew up.

Conspiracy???? How would that be considered conspiracy? He stuck his nose somewhere it did not belong. He talks about hope and change and the only change he has done in this instance is cause a divide. Not a smart thing to do.

So he planted this supporter to ask this question, so he could express his feelings on it a week later? LMAO

Well this lady happens to work for the Chicago Sun Times(fact) and Rupert Murdoch happens to own the Chicago Sun Times(fact). So I say Murdoch planted this reporter to ask the question to make Obama look bad(BS) See how stupid that sounds? Though parts of it are actually backed up by fact, it's bull**** just like the other bull**** claim.

I don't know if there was a conspiracy, could have been for all we know. No matter what though, Obama looked like an idiot in front of the world. GOOD JOB ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
