Why You Wanna Keep A Brotha Down

Obama 'stupidly' comment disappoints Mass. cop
[...]
Sgt. James Crowley responded to Gates' home near Harvard University last week to investigate a report of a burglary and demanded Gates show him identification. Police say Gates at first refused and accused the officer of racism.
[...]

"I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry," Obama said. "Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three — what I think we know separate and apart from this incident — is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact." - Obamm-bamm.

This isn't a political post by any stretch. But the fucking president of the United States getting involved in a local police issue? Come the fuck on.
Evidently this asshole who got busted was all too ready to pull strings since he's supposedly a friend of the prez. What a prick.

But the prez being judgmental and playing a race card when he wasn't even there is just ignorance. His teleprompter must have been turned off at the time or he may have chosen more appropriate wording.

See, in the second paragraph, the prez said "...there was already proof that they were in their own home...". But the first paragraph said "Gates at first refused [to show identification] and accused the officer of racism."
The fucking idiot will never get his shit together.
