Obama says police act stupidly

[kappainf]

For those of you who haven't heard. A Cambridge police officer responded to a possible burglary at a black mans residence. The black guy gave the officer a hard time and started to become disorderly. The black man felt he was being racially profiled. The officer arrested the black guy for disorderly conduct and later charges were dropped.
At a press conference Obama was asked about the situation and said, I don't know the facts, but the cambridge officer acted stupidly.
What the fuck is wrong with this situation. I don't think I can stand to hear anymore racial this or racial that bullshit.
In addition, racial profiling is based on statistics. Certain ethnic groups have higher criminal records per capita.

Obama wants to make us feel guilty so his health care plan will get through.

He didn't say anything about the guy chasing the cops out to his yard and going nuts on them though did he?

 

[ten feet!]

That cop is just another racist with a badge and a gun. He saw that the black guy was in the nice part of town as he responded to a burglary call so he immediately profiled him as a criminal. The cop should be disciplined and at the very least he needs to apologize.

That same cop gave mouth to mouth resuscitation to the Boston Celtics Reggie Lewis (black guy) to try and save him.

Get your facts before calling people racist's scooter.

naaa i think you are the racist. the black man is the one who brought up the race card cos he thinks he can hide behind it and in fact he was a racist. get ur goddamn facts straight!

The cop was in the right. The man after all was being disorderly. The police would have responded the same if it was a white man allegedly breaking into a house. The race card can't hold up for ever.

I doubt that. They arrested Gates while there was already proof that he was in his own home. If they were in the right then why would they drop the charge of disorderly conduct? There is and always has been a lot of racist cops. This one just got caught in the headlights of the national media.

 

[NoDrama]

I think we can all agree that indeed the police do sometimes act stupidly as do all of us.

we should do what the king said judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their shin. that should apply to all people. people think this doesn't apply to them cos their not white. wake up america this means EVERYONE should do this. the NAACP and affirmative action should be abolished.

Gates is race obsessed…he studies it, he teaches it, he meets with collegues and discusses it, and he does Television Shows about it. Is it really any surprise that he is a racist? No.

Why is Gates a racist you may ask…Well think of this…if the cop was black do you think he would have acted the same way? Absolutely not. However, if the cop showed up to the house and the guy breaking open the door was white do you think he would have acted the same way? Definitely.

It was Gates who decided to act based on the color of a man’s skin. It was Gates who blew up and started screaming. It was Gates who wanted to use this as a pulpit to increase his visibility and “get the message out”…Gates makes a living off racism or the perception of racism.

By the way, black people who have experienced real racism at the hands of rogue cops look at this as ridiculous. “Oh you poor thing, they asked you for prrof that you lived in the house” Some people have been beaten bloody and dropped in a sewer, but you had to go in your wallet…oh you poor guy.

A cop cannot just believe you if you say this is your home.

You have to show ID.

He didn't, and instead yelled at the cop.

Policeman was right in this case.

You're a moron. The cop was called to the house because someone said it looked like a break in. (Black dude was trying to force a door open cuz he was locked out of his house) The cop showed up to investigate and the black dude got belligerent and was yelling at the officer saying the officer was racist.

The officer had every right to make an arrest for disorderly conduct and Obama's comment was dumb. Black people are over sensitive and try to say everything is racist.

Yeah after hearing the real story I will say this.

The professor may have had a bad night, he just flew in from China so stuck on a plane for 18 hours, may have gotten into an arguement with his wife and had a bad night. When the cop comes in he flips out for no reason. And ultimately it led to his arrest.

All evidence points to the cop not being a racist at all and did his job very well. He even teaches the racial relations class at his office. But at any point once he determined that it was the owner of the house he could have simply swallowed his pride and left. There was no way that would have ended well.

I really don't like how cops can arrest people that are upset over something that they were in the right in the first place (i.e. questioned about being at your own home).

But that being said I don't doubt the professor will pounce on this opportunity and uses this exposure to write another book.

The cop was actually an expert on racial profiling and he taught classes about how to avoid racial profiling. You are ignorant.

if half the crew are retards, then you got no choice

and if a cop stopped me for kickeing at my door, i'd have to be arrested to, as i've no proof outside of my home that i live there.

personally, the home owner was an idiot, and the policeman seems a tad racist. if it were a white cop and a white breaker-inner, then when the white dude got a bit angry, he'd probably be told to calm the cock down and talk like civilized people, not arrested for misconduct.

A "tad bit racist".... Like a tad bit of a president? Or a tad bit of a cock sucker?
