The real Gates scandal

"The arrest of Gates for disorderly conduct in his own home by a white police officer sparked a national debate over racial profiling and police conduct. The controversy intensified when President Obama said police "acted stupidly" when they arrested Gates, his friend."

The real scandal is that the president of the U.S. publicly attacked the cops and defended his friend before he knew any of the facts.

That's called an abuse of authority.
