歐巴馬今天口氣有點軟化﹐但他不是稱讚James Crowley警官是一個"outstanding police officer"「傑出的警察」﹐要看他整段的談話﹐他對他的昨天的聲明並沒有改變. 他仍然認為逮捕 Gates 是不當的。
最後一段是說:
.....他了解James Crowley警官是一個"outstanding police officer"「傑出的警察」但在我們內有醫療保險和經濟問題﹐外有戰事下﹐沒有必要去在個人家裡逮捕並沒有惹麻煩的人......
President Obama today stood by his comments that the Cambridge, Mass., police department acted "stupidly" in its arrest of Henry Louis Gates, telling ABC News that the Harvard University professor should not have been arrested.
"I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement, because I think it was a pretty straightforward commentary that you probably don't need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who's in his own home," Obama said.
In an exclusive interview with ABC's Terry Moran to air on "Nightline" tonight, Obama said it doesn't make sense to him that the situation escalated to the point that Gates was arrested.
"I think that I have extraordinary respect for the difficulties of the job that police officers do," the president told Moran. "And my suspicion is that words were exchanged between the police officer and Mr. Gates and that everybody should have just settled down and cooler heads should have prevailed. That's my suspicion."
The president said he understands the sergeant who arrested Gates is an "outstanding police officer." But he added that with all that's going on in the country with health care and the economy and the wars abroad, "it doesn't make sense to arrest a guy in his own home if he's not causing a serious disturbance."
我想他是對 Crowley警官的處理有意見﹐而不是對Crowley警官本人有意見。
