Obama shows a lot of heart by being able to call the cop up to have a change of mind. Being President and being a BLACK President has got to be one hell of a tough job. Nobody is perfect.

Why are we seeing news stories about the police shooting and beating black people for no reason?

Why did the cops drop the charges

Do you have any black friends

Does racism exist, yes or no?

Well, as it turns out right now, it looks like the officer did nothing wrong at all. I spoke with a recent Harvard alum, she said the "professor" is pretty much a local joke, still clinging on to the race bit because his paycheck counts on it. The guy is a fool, the cops were right (not that they've always been in other cases even today) and even your glorious dear leader is admitting that he spoke too soon. What else do you need? Audio proof? (Coming soon.)

Only a white guy could say something like that, blacks have been going through this shit for hundreds of years, and only those who are in deniel are saying anything different.

Anybody who mouths off like a fucking elitist harvard self-important pussy who thinks he's above the laws of public peace get arrested. Stop buying into the last generation's race-hustling grievances...Otherwise, you're bowing down to worse characters than the ones above. ie "Reverand" AL Sharpton and Jesse Jackson...

" After accusing a police sergeant of acting stupidly, the president has a very public change of heart..." I could be wrong but I think his words were that the 'police department had acted stupidly.' Whatever, can we get on the the business of NEWS?

If Gates was white he would not have been arrested,Obama is the President and all this motherfucker been doing since he got in office is bowing to white people, the king of saudi arabia, the queen of england and now a cop from cambridge.
