Officer was doing his duty

The Spokesman-Review

Regarding this uproar of a police officer’s act of doing his duty called stupidity: Officer Crowley is doing his duty after somebody reported a burglar breaking into the house next door.

In the first place, where is love thy neighbor here? Second place, a professor, whose specialty is racial profiling, becomes indignant at this whole episode when he could have been instilling a lesson as to practicing what he is preaching. No, in arrogance, this professor calls his good friend, President Obama.

And in the third place, the president makes a personal appearance at a press conference when he had no business interfering, making this a racial episode.
