CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A multiracial group of police officers stood with the white officer who arrested a black Harvard scholar and asked President Barack Obama and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick apologize for comments union leaders called insulting.
Officers say they resent any implication that race played a role in Sgt. James Crowley's arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home near Harvard University last week.
At a news conference Friday, union leaders said Crowley acted appropriately when he arrested the scholar for disorderly conduct. ..
Obama said the officers "acted stupidly." Patrick, the state's first black governor, said the arrest was "every black man's nightmare."

OOps. I dood it again.
The ‘Britney Spears’ of political demagoguery.
Obama.
Obama should flat out apologize or resign. He should ride with the police every night for a week, and see how it REALLY is America, and who really commits the crime.
“Oops, there it is! Oops, there it is!”
Mr. Obama really put his foot in now. This could be the beginning of the end.
Especially when his supporters begin asking him for an apology.
Hah!
Should a class action suit for defamation of the police be filed?
I played the race card.
I lost in this game.
OK. Cool.
Add Deval Patrick to the lineup of flamingly obvious race baiters that now includes Gates, Sharpton, and the increasingly degenerate “I am the President of the United States” Zer0.
Talk about one man dragging the presidency right down into the gutter.
This is a truly demented spectacle.
Gates and Obama once again demonstrate the arrogance and condescension from the elites snobs that dominate the academic, government, and media classes.
I should have invested in a Race Card Company. I’d be rich.

I was just wathcing this on CNN...the host, a black guy, almost exploded claiming they should “turn down the temparture”....granted he has a point but I don’t know if he said anything about zero’s initial comments...
He should. I think the thing was a set up anyway so Obama could yell racism.....
Oh Yeah, it could give other Marxists like certain Professors and authors a bad name. ;-)

The One won’t apologize. He bows down only to jihadi and leftist dictators.
Wow.
This is AMAZING.
Another revealing look at the complete lack of CLASS this man has. Making fun of the Special Olympics, calling reporters “sweety”, this, and lord knows what else.
I remember when “etiquette” was important in our leaders.
Glad I didnt help elect this bigot.
Police departments support their own. Obama: “Whodoathunkit?”
It’s one way to take attention off more important matters like the inability of one to govern or the efforts of a certain party to destroy this country economically.
