Could be that the cameras weren't functioning, could be that it happened in some gap in time during the incident. Or it could be that they know the culprit, but aren't releasing the name for that person's safety (and the whole innocent until proven guilty thing).

At any rate, I shouldn't be surprised at some of the reactions. Even though you would never admit it, most of you probably share the same sentiment as the people who continuously compare the President of the United States to a monkey. I'm not saying definitively that this is the case, but based on previous comments around here, it's not unlikely.
ETA: I'm not angry. don't want anyone to think I'm sitting here with steam coming out of my ears. I'm just saddened and perplexed that people are so desensitized that things like this are tolerated and brushed off.

I'm not sure where you get this. Most of the people who have posted in this thread (heck, most of the people who post on the board) were/are supporters of President Obama. Out of the remainder, most of us haven't stated anything racist (either overt or subtle) that would allude to us comparing the President to a monkey. I think most of us have explained pretty well why we didn't vote for the current President, either because of issues with his foreign policy, his economic plan, etc.
What exactly is your basis for that statement?
