Personally, I was hoping this incident would blow over quickly, as I have tremendous respect for Henry Louis Gates. We grew up about one mile from each other, but in separate worlds. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. President Obama leaped into the fray at his news conference yesterday when he stated that the Cambridge Police acted "stupidly" in arresting Gates for disorderly conduct. Obama may claim to be the great unifier, but he seems to be playing with a full deck of race cards and little knowledge of the facts of the case. You can decide for yourself with the help a few links:Here's the police report. Here's a perspective on Obama's comment. And here's the arresting officer's position.
I think all three need a session in the time out chair. Separated, of course.
