It looks like Obama picked the wrong incident and the wrong cop to try this BS on. He really revealed his true self (for those who needed more proof
) and this cop's credentials are established, verifiable, and stellar on the subject of racial fairness.
This just isn't a mistake in "not knowing all of the facts", or "misjudgement". This is a behavior that should not exist in the president of the US. Obama should apologize specifically and forthrightly, and be required to attend some type of rehabilitative anti-discrimination training. Or, he could resign.
I haven't read all of Obama's proposed health care legislation yet.
Will "Affirmative Action" be included in the proposed health care package?
With a racist like this as president pushing so hard for his version of health care, will whites have to go to the back of the line?

For five of the past six years, Crowley also has volunteered alongside a black colleague in teaching 60 cadets per year about how to avoid targeting suspects merely because of their race, and how to respond to an array of scenarios they might encounter on the beat. Thomas Fleming, director of the Lowell Police Academy, said Crowley was asked by former Cambridge police Commissioner Ronnie Watson, who is black, to be an instructor.
"I have nothing but the highest respect for him as a police officer. He is very professional and he is a good role model for the young recruits in the police academy," Fleming said.
David Holway, president of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, lives in Cambridge, had a brother on the force there and said Crowley is from a "tremendous family."
"Everybody in the community loves this guy. All his peers love him," Holway said. "Everyone speaks highly of him."
Crowley's encounter with Gates was not his first with a high-profile black man, although on the prior occasion he was lauded for his response.
He was a campus cop at Brandeis University in suburban Waltham when was summoned to the school gymnasium in July 1993 after Boston Celtics player Reggie Lewis collapsed of an apparent heart attack. Crowley, also a trained emergency medical technician, not only pumped the local legend's chest, but put his mouth to Lewis' own and attempted to breathe life back into the fallen athlete.
"Looking back on it, he was probably already gone," Crowley said Thursday during an interview with WEEI-AM in Boston. "But I did to him what I would do to anything else in that situation."
