Beer sucks.--Its just nasty.

The cop acted stupidly.--The 9-11 report was reasonable. Once it was clarified that Gates resided at the house there was NO reason for the issue to continue. No matter how mad, arrogant, or assholeish Gates was there wasnt a need to arrest him. Possible reasons for arrest: he's black, he's arrogant & has a tude. "Im not racist I gave a black dude CPR" does not mean that the officer wasnt being prejudice. After figuring out that the person is a resident and the showing of ID there should have been NO more questions. It should have been sorry for the bother sir, have a good day. But it wasnt. Officer asswipe continued to push and prod and then got more tude out of professor arrogant. Why? Either racism or classism. Either you're mad because he's black and shouldnt "overreact" to excessive questioning or you're mad because he's rich and feels above you and should not have to submit to excessive questioning. Between the two of these the inclination toward racism is fueled by the police report that states that the caller reported two black men when in the 9-11 call the caller could not identify the race of the men and said one might have been hispanic but that they definitely weren't sure. Also the caller stated that from where she was she couldnt tell if it was someone struggling with their key or a burglar. Was it racial profiling? No. Was the arrest racially motivated? partially. Was the officer wrong? Definitely. Officer should've given an apology. Gates had more tude than necessary, but he wasnt wrong and shouldnt have been arrested.
Obama spoke his mind and pissed people off. (some because he spoke and others because of what he said.) Calling the officers actions stupid wasnt wrong or out of line. It was true and it was his opinion.
Obama bought some beers to pay for it.

My only concern is...Is BudLight the cheapest beer available? It's a recession.
