How Stupid is "Stupidly"??

It depends on whether an experienced police sergeant, who is also reportedly an expert in racial profiling and a teacher of how not to do it, makes an arrest of a Black professor, Gates, in his home - after he determines who he is and that he is lawfully in his own home.

President Obama said Sargeant Crowley acted "stupidly", in making that arrest, and it was! The proof that it was, is that the police department had to drop the charges because it was a bogus arrest, and the follow-up report written by Crowley, lied about what the 911 caller said. She said that she could not tell the race of the two suspicious men - Crowley wrote that she said "two black men were acting suspiciously." Crowley lied to justify his arrest and to obscure the fact that he had 'profiled' the professor in doing so.

Obama later spinelessly backed off his assessment of Crowley's actions for political reasons, but the fact remains - the police acted "stupidly" as he originally stated!
