Three Wrongs?

" Unanimous knows exactly what happened because we -- not there but the rest of Harvard professor Henry Louis gates says it netted a red hot controversy now. Here's what we now. -- July 16 professor gates an African American come home from a trip to China to find his door jammed. My neighbor sees gates and another man trying to open the door. Suspects a break and it calls the police police who rushed to the home and professor gates hits and a confrontation with the officers accusing them. A racial profiling. The professor ends up being arrested for disorderly conduct. And two nights ago President Obama said the police acted stupidly when they -- the professor. Earlier today the Cambridge police union announces its standing solidly behind the arresting officer. --"

" For its own intensive investigation. The Cambridge police department. Also expressed its support for second crawling clearing him of any wrongdoing on behalf of the unions and their members. Let me assure everyone that the officers of the Cambridge police department. Are committed to the professional and non discriminatory enforcement of the law to make hundreds of decisions each week. And thousands of decisions each year in the preservation of the peace. Race does not play a role of any kind of that decision making. And played no role in the decision making in this case."

" President Obama said that the actions of the CPB were stupid and lengthy event to a history of history. A racial profiling in America the facts of this case suggests that the president used the right attitude but directed it to them."

" Wrong. Hot I think the president should make an apology to all law enforcement personnel. What do try to country took offense so that's part of the -- that. We can't -- governor pat. And the president review all of the facts which they did not have before them when they made -- off the -- remarks. --"

" After the please press conference President Obama surprised the white house press corps by taking the podium and tried to put out the fire."

" Actually just had a conversation where Sargent Jim -- The officer involved. And I have to tell you that as I said yesterday. My impression. Of him -- that he was. Outstanding police officer. And good man and that was confirmed in the phone conversation and I told them that. Alive. Because. This has been ratcheting up and I obviously. Helped to contribute rationing and I want to make clear that. In my choice of words that I think. I unfortunately. They gave an impression. That I was more I think the Cambridge police department -- certain crawling specifically. And I could calibrated those fortunate that I told us through those sergeant crawling. I continue to believe based on what I've heard. Bad. There was an overreaction. The end. Pulling professor gates. This home to the station. I also continue to believe based on what I heard. That professor gates probably. Overreacted to the fact that this has become such a big issue. I think is indicative of factor. Races still. -- troubling aspect of our society. Whether. I were black or white. I think. Me commenting on this. And hopefully contributing to construct it was supposed to. Negative. Understandings about the issue his. Part of my portfolio. So. At the end of the conversation there was discussion about. My conversation with the sort of -- there was discussion about he and I. And a -- and it's having a beer here in the White House we don't know that's scheduled yet but. What we may put them together."

" Climate is -- man you all know very about Ted Williams he's a good defense attorney and a former homicide detective is actually made arrests. At some of the real McCoy --"

" Well I gotta tell did Barbara as I look at this there were really wrong here when you look at progressive dates he drove home. Not bad that everybody thought through quality. Is good -- what we've showed us. I know what racism -- I know what racial profiling yes it is not in this case. Sargent -- Doesn't he comes to the -- because he's been called -- because all someone that -- home. So what this Sargent Collie dogs he actually individual to come out. You're -- just says no I'm not -- and out. So sergeant Robert Young you know into a back and for the the guys say as you professor gates I want to remind me well Sargent -- follows a medium -- and what is wrong with -- Law enforcement officers put their lives on and on the line every day. And don't miss your -- This also did not know professor gates once he had every right to father and then he there was reasonable suspicion that something could happen at that home. Now then we get a job applaud wearer gets back and forth lead tomb where sergeant probably arrest all the law professor date. That what's wrong. I don't know I believe that -- was enough. Justification here for an arrest not necessary to -- The third wrong it was one that I was removed shocked about is that the president of the United States got involved in this. I do not believe that this was based case and a scenario. For that the president of the United States should have gotten involved."

" Regrettable I think what's true and what the president did as a -- reached an opinion of that and first say he -- know the facts and that he gave his opinion would probably mean that. And not that the smartest thing that our great dog if yeah we had a faster Obama -- Kurt won't be as bad guy Hebert -- and all the way back and perhaps not safe immigrant. All. -- got to what I want what's that I never listen to lays it. I'd like to hear the no one call. And I'd like to hear the transmission calls among the police and -- I know what that -- what the police officers on the scene said. And also like to know what the would the person who made the phone call apparently came on the artist to say that I know who said what especially. In in such an important issue because this whole racial profiling -- racism is being thrown around. And so I'd like to know because it's so it's terror it's a race isn't a terrible thing sure and being falsely accused of racism is equally ticks."

" Richard MMS I can tell you what Hussein and -- wasn't barrel but I have lurid. Professor gates and professor -- that at one stage or another that also was Madonna's idea he said this trial judge Democrat who profess to date was. He was not respond and the professor dates initial what professor dates ahead. He said why are you not respond and me what you not -- wanna be because you. Or a white also and I am a black man. Now so yeah first -- so we're progressing gates who bought racism into this matter of words. Quite accurate racism that's it exists black man. Certainly know when they come in contact when law enforcement officers that how to react that they have to react in a certain way because they don't racism yeah. But this was not a case someone says well I."

" think that -- have been very nice to see as we get more facts find out get the transmissions and then hopefully that will give us even more information about it because down. Is obviously caused by a firestorm and it's always nice to see -- and say here mark for a -- up."
