Gates Arresting Officer: Obama 'Way Off Base'
Boston Ares News ^

Posted on 07/23/2009 1:36:55 PM PDT by blueyon

The white police sergeant who arrested black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. said Thursday President Barack Obama was "way off base" claiming Cambridge officers acted "stupidly" during the incident.

Sgt. James Crowley, who is a police academy expert on racial profiling, responded to Gates' home near Harvard University last week to investigate a report of a burglary and demanded Gates show him identification. Police say Gates at first refused and accused the officer of racism.

Gates was charged with disorderly conduct. The charge was dropped Tuesday, and Gates has since demanded an apology from Crowley.

Obama, you should have known better! As President, you should NOT have commented on this, no matter what. God be with Officer Crowley. I stand behind you.

I don’t care what the WH spin says — ZERO made racists comments against the police and showed his true colors of how much he hates whites. No explanation needed to clarify anything.

BO.

Thanks to you our economy is on the skids and going to get worse.
Please don't try to fix it as you will only make it worse.
If anybody doubts that you are an idiot, then your stupid comments about the arrest without knowing ANY of the facts show how really stupid you are.
Hell some of us already knew it. Thanks for letting others know.
Keep it up-in fact get with Jessie & AL to get some pointers on being stupid.
STAY STUCK ON STUPID - - - PLEASE

Obama has contracted the old foot in mouth disease, just like Biden. He stands there in front of the nation and says he doesn’t have all the facts and then does this...brilliant!

Apparently Obama will be keeping the jobs of Ice Cream Czar and Race Baiting Czar for himself.

I just love this story. Right now all over the web liberals are revealing their idiocy by defending Gates on every forum. All the non-political people are seeing them for what they really are for a change.

Man, what is wrong with Zer0!

His comments about an officer doing his job in the line of duty are **completely** out of line and thoroughly despicable.

And as a Harvard grad he should know that Cambridge PD is not going to racially harass ANY individual. Anywhere. At any time. And on the Harvard campus!?! In Harvard housing!?!

Zer0 is out of his mind, a complete and total loser.

My, what a talented President we have! He can tick off Bill Cosby, the police, and the nation’s doctors all in one presser!

(Do I need to add a /sarc tag?)

*********

I actually thank Zero for making his idiotic remarks last night at the close of his health ‘care’ press conference fiasco.

The best description I can come up with to describe him is ‘race baiter.’ Nothing else seems accurate to me.

How long has this ‘professor’ been teaching at Harvard?

Did NObama ever take any of his classes?

Do they know each other personally?

I was happy to see the remarks of how he really feels — I swear the man wants race conflicts around this country and is agigitating.

Racist come in all colors and right now ZERO and his wife are at the head of the racist pack with Rev Write, Bill Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, Farrakhan, Axelrod and probably left some out.

I guess the cop doesn't support the health care program.

The president said he understands the sergeant who arrested Gates is an "outstanding police officer." But he added that with all that's going on in the country with health care and the economy and the wars abroad, "it doesn't make sense to arrest a guy in his own home if he's not causing a serious disturbance."

What you have here is an affirmative action promoted federal employee with the power to start a nuclear war. How do we sleep at all?

Good example for all. When you’re right, don’t back down.
