Actually, it appears from this photo that Gates was already cuffed in the front while he was still on the porch with the white officer, and the black officer was down on the sidewalk.

The White House tried Thursday to calm a hubbub over President Barack Obama's comments about a white police officer's arrest of a black scholar near Boston, saying Obama was not calling the officer "stupid."

“Obviously what the president said or meant to say is not what you misunderstood him to say, because in fact he didn’t say anything of the sort at all.
Or you’re racists.”

They also acted in a caucasian manner, and I’m not saying they’re caucasians.
You could be PRESIDENT!!!
I guess "Stupid is as stupid does" is passe.
That’s what I said to hubby last night, He should not be giving his opinion. Shame on him
Maybe we need to come to the realization that our country is full of black a@@holes...including our President.

Clearly Gates did not observe these simple rules.

Yeah, the stupid one was Obama.
This surprises some people?
I’m not the smartest guy in the world but I knew when he was running for president that:
He’s a racist
He’s a Marxist
He’s an amateur
He’s a local thug , conman at best
That he will try to destroy America and rebuild it in a radical ,leftist image.
He is a Muslim sympathizer
He hates traditional American values.
So what’s the big surprise here?
Who knows?
But, 0bama, for all his claims to not know the details,
sure stated that it was the white officer that cuffed
the proff behind his back and that the black officer
listened and showed mercy and cuffed him in front.
Now, why would good ol’ post-racial Barry make up stuff
like this out of thin air? Could there be some reason
that he’s perpetuating this story theme?
The only appropriate response would have been “that is a local matter and you’ll have to take it up with the folks in Cambridge”.
Too late. He really stepped in it this time.
zero wants his civil force to lead the charge. Just as soon as he gets them trained. Wonder where the recruits are now? Bet they’re working out of ACORN’s offices.
I believe one of them was standing outside of a polling place in PA last November.
Of course not. He was calling him a racist because he responded to a crime call of a house being broken by two black guys. The house happened to be owned by a black man. So instead of getting praise for doing his duty, he was insulted.
Maybe on second thought the cop was stupid, he should have walked away since it was a black on black crime.
But on third thought, if the police didn't respond, they would have been accused of racism. So it's racism if you do and racism if you don't. I love it when a plan comes togther.
Gates hould have THANKED the cops!!!
See, this is why I never watch 0bama’s press conferences, I prefer to wait a couple of days for them to tell me “what he actually meant”.
You didn’t miss anything. My husband and I couldn’t understand what he was talking about. Even Bill O’Reilly said he didn’t even know what Obama said. Robert Gibbs trying to explain what Obama meant is laughable.
They cuffed him in the standard manner until he calmed down a little and claimed that he couldn’t walk without his cane. At that point, they recuffed in front and got the cane for him. His ‘handicap’ doesn’t seem to be hampering him at the moment depicted in the photo.
