WASHINGTON — The nation's largest law enforcement organization chastised President Barack Obama Thursday for saying the Cambridge, Mass., police "acted stupidly" for arresting prominent African-American scholar Henry Louis Gates at his home last week.
The criticism by the 325,000-member Fraternal Order of Police came as White House officials tried to clarify Obama's caustic characterization of Cambridge police's handling of the Gates situation during a prime-time televised news conference Wednesday.
Chuck Canterbury, the FOP's national president, said Obama's comments were "made without the facts" and "do little to narrow the void of distrust that too often separates the community from the men and women who work to keep it safe."

Excellent!
Wonder when/if Jesse and the Rev. Al will get involved?
WE HAVE A BLATANT RACIAL PRESIDENT..... thanks liberals... hope you are satisfied.... another black president will NEVER be elected../.
Once a race hustler, always a race hustler. Why is anyone surprised ?
It’s like the “it’s not fascism when we do it” poster except you can substitute fascism for racism.
Did the FOP endorse Hussein?
Hussein was being an arrogant jackball when he spoke last night.
And now his spin artists are trying to cover for him.
He is repulsive.
As far as I’m concerned, he has shown himself no better than the Black Panthers or Rev. Wright.... proof is in the pudding.... the man hates whites and America and is the “get even King”
Listening to obozo is like a record stuck in a scratch repeating lie, lie,lie.
This guy Gates was looking for this to happen. Treat the police like crap, insult them, make a scene, and advance your own career once arrested. I would love it if someone had video or audiotape of the incident exonerating the police officer.
OBAMA - Get thee to Sensitivity Training ASAP !
Rand referred to racism as “the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism.” So I’d have to agree with you. Barry’s just showing the real Barry.
Seems to me bo is deliberately stirring up racial strife. I detest this man. What the heck is this pig doing to this country????
Pissing the country off one group of citizens at a time will surely catch up to him . Can’t wait til he attacks the liberal state run media ,, that will be the big one .
And a public apology to all citizens of America who
do not hold the racist views as you, Pre-sent 0.
We citizens are trying to get along and we still have azzholes like you
doing TV speeches about something he has no knowledge of.
You would love to see discord and have racism come alive.
It would help your Fascism agenda.
the Long Legged Mac Daddy = Alien in Chief
Yeah and lots of Whites have been "racially profiled" by black criminals and have ended up dead, raped, assaulted or robbed. Wish our Repub congresscritters would mention that blacks are arrested disproportionately to their numbers is because they commit a disproportionate amount of crime relative to their numbers in society.
Do the math. black men between the ages of 15-45 make up about 3% of the population yet commit a majority of murders, rapes robberies and assaults.
