Obama Needs to pay attention to Fixing the Economy and Affairs of The Country . Not to The State Issues . We have Quality Folks in the Police Departments across the Country . Don't Need Snake Oil Oblabber Butting In .

I saw the black cop on TV who was on the scene this morning. Sgt. Lashley said unequivocally that the fat-mouth attitude-infested Gates deserved to be arrested.

I know, this sarge is an Uncle Tom and under Massa's thumb. It's the white man's fault. It's always the white man's fault when things go bad for an Afro.

Where was our esteemed socialist left wing pres. when the jersey City cop acted disrepectfully while taking 3 shots to his chest during a hunt and shoot operation by 3 young men of color? these poor boys needed health care and a daddy at home not some white cop giving them a chance to drop their illegal weapons. Fortunately they dispatched this officer to the great stationhouse in the sky before he had a chance to violate their rights...Of course he left this planet donating his organs so that someone else might live regardless of race ..Bastard.

Mark my words...Tuesday that sniveling suit wearing Matt Lauer will pander to this poor professor..the last great peacemaker who I am sure is undergoing his practice run with razor elbow Sharpton by now...Of course the whats in it for Al question beckons?? My guess 100 scholarships to Harvard and an honorary degree in Taxation and Finance for poor ole Al...maybe a cabinet position now that he has a deeploma.We live in BIZARRO world.

This is why this country is getting nowhere fast. Rabid extreme over-reactions that serve no purpose.
We are the Jerry Springer nation.
Police report speaks for itself

No violence -- just words and yet it has become a national issue that takes precedence over real issues like health care. All we care about is pointing the finger and spewing our own racial slurs. DISGUSTING!

I've read some strong opinions here but no racial slurs unless some comments are read way out of context.

My comment was not aimed only at this board but if the shoe fits wear it!

"I know, this sarge is an Uncle Tom and under Massa's thumb. It's the white man's fault. It's always the white man's fault when things go bad for an Afro."

My mom once forgot her keys and broke a window trying to get into the house. A neighbor heard the glass breaking and called the police. In a couple of minutes there were two cops at the house and they got out of the car with their guns drawn. My mother explained that it was her house and she locked herself out. One cop let her go into her purse for ID while the other continued to keep his gun drawn. Only after the ID waas checked and the address was a match, did they relax and let her go.

These cops probably knew she was telling the truth but the police have procedures to follow and those procedures are born of common sense.

If Mom had mouthed off to the cops she'd have gotten what she deserved - as long as it was non-violent.

Fortunately the only shooting here was Mr. Obama shooting his mouth off before having all the facts.

I expect better from my president. Isn't he supposed to be better than that? Or smarter?

He screwed up and he knows it. His mea culpa tells you all you need to know.

Yeah, Vultch, Obummer proclaimed throughout his campaign that his administration would transcend race but just like everything that flows through those purple lips, nothing this guy says can be believed. And without a script on a teleprompter he's more lost than Judge Crater.

Obamacare is going to work and save money. Yeah. The stimulus is working. Jeez, that's a howl. Cap and trade will not jack prices or anybody's taxes. 'Tis a fantasy.

I'll stick with beer, the Obamarroid Kool Aid is too toxic for me.

Vultch's Mom behaved appropriately with respect when a gun was drawn and when the smoke settled all was well...Two weeks ago in a situation in Brookly an officer in the midst of a REAL situation DRUG bust approaches a man's stoop gun drawn...The officer explains himself and the man becomes irate and physical..he grabs for the gun and seconds later earns his wings..He was black...the screams for racial intolerance began before his body chilled...An officer's career is over..The shooting justified...the family fatherless and another irreperably broken due to the actions...NO RESPECT of LAW ENFORCEMENT is a crime..how serious can only be determined by the reaction to the action..Sharpton is still screaming for justice. Problem is he can't spell the word and it is a two way street.
