A couple of issues I had with it:
1) Stuff like this legitimately happens around the country on a number of occasions. Beyond the Professor Gates' fame, what makes this a "special" case, so to speak, to the level that it bears mentioning by the President?
2) I don't know why, but something strikes me wrong about the President criticizing a local police department (except for some rare instances). That's especially so in this case, where I'm guessing that he hasn't had the time or inclination to look too deeply into the situation.
He's entitled to his opinion, but I don't understand why he would make a public statement on it.
