The time is, this is not an important issue. It is about a self important Harvard professor pissing off a police sergeant who loss his temper. Yes they both messed up. That being said this is not an issue of racism. Hell if it wasn't for the fact that the President was a friend of the prof, he probably wouldn't even have spoken. I honestly don't think this would have been such a big deal if the arresting officer was black. But by assuming a white cop going on a power trip was racily motivated is racist in itself, IMO.
