Hey Melinda, you are making the same mistake that Obama made... you are assuming something and basing a judgment without having all the facts... you're welcome to your opinion, but when your opinion is controverted by fact, to be fair, you must recant your opinion. Lets wait to see where the lady was, positionally, and her state of mind and the conditions surrounding the event.

Huh??? I need to get out more. LOL

When somebody new moves into this area the neighbors all take them food, help them haul in furniture and generally get in the way trying to be friendly. We take care of each other. I’ve never lived anywhere that I didn’t know and recognize almost everybody that lived within a five mile radius of me. That’s how it is in small town hicksville USA.

Sorry but Melinda in TN is not the president of the US sticking his nose in a local matter. People constantly make decisions and form opinion with the facts they have at hand. Good grief.

What was wrong was the President of the US sticking his nose in a local matter and showing his prejudice. I tend to agree with Taranto:

the cop should have left. The cop had more of a duty to act civily as he was on the job. The cop should never have arrest the prof. The prof was only a racist. That is not illegal.
