For someone who admits he doesn’t know all the facts about the case, he sure sounds like he knows all the facts about the case.
No problem - Obama appears to be able to do nothing but insert both feet into his mouth. Unbelievable that this man is POTUS.
I sure thought this was absurd. He says he doesn’t know the facts of the case, yet offers an opinion that reflects the police having been in the wrong. He dosn’t know the facts, but he has a strong opinion anyway.
Obama is going to eat his words on this one.
DITTO.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I’m the first person to express skepticism in the face of police/public servant testimony, but the story seems to have changed.
There seems to be some discrepancy here: “...claims he was arrested in his home after showing ID to police who responded to a report of a possible burglary.” IIRC, he was arrested in the act of forcing the door of a home which the police did not know was his because he REFUSED to show ID. THAT was why they hauled him in.

Victimhood is the most lucrative industry that liberals have.

President names Harvard professor to eliminate "abuse" by police. "Could hurt fund raising," some complain.
I hope he keeps flapping his gums.
In spite of pandering to Hispanics by trying to lump them into his race-baiting pity party, I really don't think they'll buy it.
Most Hispanics are a whole lot more conservative than he thinks they are, and they damned sure don't care about the self-inflicted travails of some snooty, self-righteous little prick from Harvard - black, brown, white, or otherwise.
With just a few simple words, he could lose supporters by the millions.
I feel a tipping point coming up fast...
Ahh...Norm...so now the President micromanages police activities along with everything else?
Why was this even a question at a Presidential Press Conference?!?!?!
Obama lacks the judgment to know when to keep his mouth shut. Wonder what he said about the Duke rape hoax as it drug out for a year?
Obama wasn’t there- how could he possibly know that the police were out of line in any way?
He’s going to look awfully stupid if the police are exonerated on this.
The remark is reminiscient of the Duke rape allegations where so many liberals were so quick to damn the lacrosse men before the facts came out.
Heh...So what else is new? Stupid is as stupid does...
"...and said he doesn't know all the facts of the case. "
Then he needs to shut his mouth, open his eyes, read the facts and then keep his mouth shut.
I remember a number of local or regional cases like this where GWB was asked his opinion. No comments were forthcoming from our then President. Because he didn't know all the facts, he kept his mouth shut. You know...like an adult.
How does he know this without knowing all the facts in the case? Perhaps the man was abusive......
I hope the cops who protect Obama notice the comment. No chance I would risk my ass for his worthless Kenyen butt.
This gates guy and a black talk radio fellow, were on the new black show that bumped Lou Dobbs off the air tonight.
From their own description of events, Gates is lucky he was beat down having immediately taking an aggressive position.
Gates apparently has never seen the Chris Rock video.
