Inspired by Chomper X. Obama worries about race more than white Presidents have?
Does Obama have an anti-white bias? He seems to like labelling people racist.

The guys was arrested inside his own house when there is plenty of proof he actually lives there which reminds me:
In a suburban neighborhood it happens to a well known Harvard scholar who is a friend to Obama - a perfect storm for a story.
But the issue is that this would be highly unlikely to happen to a white person in the same class. I'm sure it has happened before to a white person before, but how do you not at least run the guy's ID to match it to his address?
Here's the police report: Link
He was charged with disorderly conduct but who wouldn't act like an ******* if that happened to them? It is fair to say they acted 'stupidly.'
What the point of the initial post though?

He wouldn't present his information, which would've proven that he lived there? The cops were responding to a 911 call from one of the guy's neighbors, saying that there was a possible break-in. The cops were just doing their job, and considering the fact that they were investigating a possible break-in, it was stupid for the professor to respond with so much hostility, especially in a situation such as this. Again, he could've resolved the whole situation by presenting ID or something, and instead he blew up.
I'm surprised he didn't pull the race card on his neighbor who made the 911 call.
Either way, it would appear the isse has been Resolved

Not really as Obama has pinned his colors to his sleeve.

Ok, he blows up but once they cuff him and check for ID (as they should check him for weapons and the such after cuffing him), it should be done there.
It is police procedure to search the house in case anyone is being held hostage, and to make sure the person to whom the house belongs has not been put in further jeopardy.
Regardless of what one thinks about the whole thing - BOTH of them overreacted. It is simple that you don't mouth off to a policeman - not in America, not in Britain not anywhere else.

Yeah, I can agree there but I think anyone would overreact in that situation.
What we don't know is if the police found out if was his house and still took him to jail, or looked into it afterward.

This I agree with.
Something set Gates off.
Dave Chappelle said it best when he said that the ****** put his pictures of his family up all over the walls already. That was perfect.
Obama didn't label anyone a racist. That's just a stupid thing to say. He said the police acted stupidly in arresting someone after he had provided proof that he lived in the house. That is all he said, and he's right.
There is no law that states you have to be nice to police officers. And in Mass. there is specific criteria that must be met before you can arrest someone for disorderly conduct, and from what I've heard the professor did not meet said criteria. So yes, it was a stupid thing to do. Probably the cops wanting to 'teach the guy a lesson' or something, but of course that's not their job. They should have simply walked away after the guy showed them his ID, regardless of his shitty attitude.
Of course it's never actually smart to pop an attitude with a cop, however that doesn't excuse a cop abusing his power.

I honestly expected that video to get way more reaction. I guess you are the first to look @ it
