Obama offended police in Cambridge, Mass., when he described them as acting “stupidly” when they arrested Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., who is black, on a charge of disorderly conduct at his home after a suspected break-in. Afterward, Obama convened a “beer summit” between the professor and the responding officer, Sgt. James Crowley, who is white. Gates accused the policeman of racial profiling, but Crowley’s superiors supported him and said he had acted appropriately. Obama acknowledged that his choice of words was poor.

“To the extent that my choice of words didn’t illuminate, but rather contributed to more media frenzy, I think that was unfortunate.... Because of our history, because of the difficulties of the past, you know, African Americans are sensitive to these issues. And even when you’ve got a police officer who has a fine track record on racial sensitivity, interactions between police officers and the African American community can sometimes be fraught with misunderstanding.”


His crawfish did not even apologize to the police person rather gave solace to the guilty person.


The first paragraphs uses Trump vs Obama and shows the divided sympathies that existed then and now. The hatred for Donald Trump became it's most obvious at that point in time. Using that quote seemed to act as a lightning rod to further divide the masses for and against the president.
