Obama's boo-boo: Police acted "stupidly"

From what I can tell from the police report, Mr. Gates was not asked to go outside and went out on his own volition.

Like I said, I have only seen Internet chatter so you may be right. I had heard he was baited outside. Not forced but baited at which time the officer said, "good, you're outside so now we can arrest you". or something to that effect.

If I am wrong them I apologize in advance but I have only heard Internet chatter on this.

And you didn't know the police officer who filed the police report, but that didn't stop you from questioning the validity of said report.




So you believe the police report now?




And, when, exactly, did the officer ask Mr. Gates to step outside? From what I could tell from the report, Gates went outside of his own volition.

The short story is that you don't know what happened, but Obama said the police were in the wrong and you parroted what he said. Perhaps it's time to start thinking for yourself a little bit more.

I have stated my posititon. It was easy to understand. I don't expect you to agree, but this is how I see it.

Because he admitted to that.

Where did he admit to that? If so he should have apologized.

He began his statement with, "I don't know all the facts". This means everything after is conjecture. Donna has no such disclaimer so it appears she is stating fact.

Not exactly.

He began with "I don't know all the facts," and then followed that with a statement that shouldn't be made unless he knew all the facts.

Couple that with a tap-dance instead of an apology, and you have one Mess...official size and weight.

If I say I don't know all the facts and you take my following words as fact, then who is at fault? Not the guy who said I don't have all the facts.

I can agree, he shouldn't have spoken but the facts are he placed a disclaimer before his words.

And, I was not involved so I can't judge ones apology as being a "tap dance" since that is really between the people involved and not us. If Crowley says his apology was sufficient, the rest of us should leave it at that.

Mt 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

You know what this verse doesn't say? It doesn't say "if he shall hear thee until others are satisfied". It says "if he shall hear THEE". The person trespassed is the only one who counts according to this passage. It is only if Crowley isn't satisfied that others begin getting involved.

What you guys are being is a agitator. You have your nose bent out of shape when it's not your fight.

Now that is scripture...
