who was the professor breaking into his own house and obama said the police acted stupidly
Pasco harkened back to 2009, when Obama criticized a Massachusetts police officer for arresting Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, when he was attempting to break into his own home. Obama said the officer had âacted stupidly.â That is one where the president spoke precipitously without all the facts, Pasco said, adding that the current situation is a much larger and more tragic incident.
