gosh! some of the posters can sort this out in just a few weeks of getting everyone to talk about everything. Make sense? A cop on the beat has seconds to take a decision whether it be right or wrong.Thats why we need a judge,not a dumbo...errrrrrr presbo that wants to be judge and jury and not enough character or integrity to apologize to the good sergeant and backhand his friend gates across the chops for being another truly stupid harvard alum

Did I miss something or was Obummer suppose to rise above this issue and bring a new view to Washington along with his administration. This is a sad day for all of those who strive everyday to resolve the issues of the past. Obummer is in a job far above his pay grade and it is really coming to light. Axelrod better keep him on the telepromter or this could get ugly.

Nothing will cover up the mess they've made this time. He should be telling people to stop preaching hate, they would be less inclined to jump to conclusions in the future.

I can only guess at this, since this is a short clip, but it doesn't sound like Holder brought up the subject. The ABC interviewer asked him about it and then seemed to press him to come down on the side of Mr. Gates. I don't see any problem with what he said.

This make me wonder if these people ever have ANY facts on ANYTHING before they shoot their mouths off. If they can get a simple misdemeanor arrest so screwed up, what are they doing to important issues?

If the roles had been reversed here, all the "facts" being the same and white president, white A.G. (oh say, Bush and Ashcroft) and it were a black officer, what do you suppose the blacks and the media would be saying?

The irony of all this is that race has been elevated under this administration which many felt would promote more harmony...instead it has ignited a sense of black nationalism from rappers to professors to the greater visibility of ACORN....and we realize now that there has been this magic thin line that society has straggled quietly for years and vocal upheaval like this creates an uncomfortable imbalance.

I do not like Holder, however I have to agree with most of what he said in this matter. The proffessor is obviously a guy who screems race every chance he gets, and you can tell buy his life that he has been oppressed, by the man at every chance. The police officer obviously is like most other cops, if you dont kiss their but and just listen to what they have to say then they will arrest you for any greevance. We need to have better training for police officers so they understand that they work for all people, and they are not the only ones with opinions. Both parties are wrong and need to be critizied for their actions.

From my perspective, the POTUS should NOT have gotten involved at all! He should have kept his mouth shut and let the police officer and the professor work it out. It has NOTHING to do with BO, and he's really the one who ignited this entire mess. So much for being the one who was going to make all those bad "race card" players stop doing their evil deeds!!! If it wasn't for racial tension, people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be out of work. It's that mentality of the race baiters, of which our president appears to be one!!!

You're right, he shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place. But who do we really have to blame for that? IMO that wold be the media who asked him about it in the first place. BO definitely made a mistake in even answering, but I can only imagine what people would have said about him if he'd declined to comment on it.
