I know I'm late to this party, but...

Why are we focusing on how he was handcuffed? If this has some underlying meaning, which some people here seem to imply, wouldn't it tell you that they DIDN'T have a bias and they were considerate enough not to cuff him behind his back?

Obama should not have commented on this, if for no other reason than to not make HIMSELF look biased. While he said the officer acted "stupidly," he also admitted, "I don't know all the facts." No one does, therefore, why is the President making such a strong, public statement when he doesn't know the details of the situation?

I, also, do not know all of the facts. But I do have a question... has Gates denied that he became enraged and caused a scene?
