Yesterday on MSNBC’s Hardball, Republican Congressman Thaddeus McCotter of Michigan told Chris Matthews why he has called for a formal act of Congress telling Barack Obama to apologize for saying that Cambridge Police Sergeant Jim Crowley had “acted stupidly” in arresting Henry Louis Gates two weeks ago.

Here is fascinating video from MSNBC's Morning Joe today where a panel of the regulars got into a rather animated back-and-forth about the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates by a Cambridge, Massachusetts police officer, and President Obama's saying the Cambridge police "acting stupidly." The panel appeared to wind up divided on the issue by race, with all the African-American panelists flatly saying the officer was wrong and being totally defensive of Gates and the remarks of President Obama.
