A free American citizen has a right to argue with a cop without being arrested. This is America, not the Soviet Union (or at least used to be).

Do other American citizens deserve to be attacked by the President of the United States, in front of millions of Americans, implying they are stupid and racist before knowing the facts?

Can falsely alleging that someone is a racist, cause them great harm, ruin their careers and get them black balled and even cause harm to them and their families?

That is an entirely separate issue. I never once uttered the word race and Obama was idiot for bring up race as a factor without knowing the full facts. Just because Obama is wrong doesn't make the cop some sort of hero.

This is better viewed as a clear cut issue of police abuse that crosses racial lines. If you don't believe me, go to youtube and you will find many, many whites who were tased simply for arguing for a cop. To repeat: A FREE AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS A RIGHT TO ARGUE WITH A COP WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED. Race should not enter into it one way or another. Many allegedly "limited government" conservatives have totally lost this distinction.
