Quote: My point was that he SHOULD have said no comment- I do not have all the facts, the way it happened did make Obama seem unprofessional by chiming in with that type of comment. As far as the race issue itself goes- H2c had it right- cops can be hard on people that fit certain types whether it be minorities or some of my long hair or bald friends- so why not just play nice with them. Say hi officer what is the problem, thanks officer I will produce the id as soon as I can get it. Playing nice with them can keep you from getting a ticket sometimes much less catching a beating or getting arrested. Unless insane cops do not just pull up to a person of color and start beating them- play nice and see if you can get a better result.
I grew up in the country and black people were very much NOT plentiful, and there..I saw more than my share of WHITE idiots who couldn't keep their mouths shut or be polite to the cops get roughly handled. This isn't about him being black, it's about him acting entitled and not just going along. The cops had a call about a possible burglary in progress..they responded, and when they arrived the possible burglar acted like an asshole. When you act like an asshole in front of the cops, you usually get treated like an asshole.
As far as what The Great Messiah had to say about it all, I agree with you. He should have just declined to comment, indicating it was still under investigation. And, as we all know Odumba is outstanding at avoiding answering questions about subjects he doesn't want to discuss. This was just one more bit of evidence that he is completely unsuited to being the Prez.
The biggest laugh about the whole thing is it happend within sight of Harvard, one of the most sickeningly PC sections of the country. You don't think that the cops they have patrolling that area aren't PC trained to the max?? You can bet they are.
