A review of the now infamous arrest of Henry Louis Gates by SGt James
Crowley of the Cambridge, MA police says that both men missed
opportunities to avert a situation.

THe review placed equal blame on both men.

When asked about the situation, President Obama said the police "acted
stupidly" and invited both men to the "Beer Summit" at the WH.

"For various reasons, each man reported feeling a certain degree of fear
of the other,'' according to the report, which was conducted by an outside
panel of police officials, academics and community leaders. "The committee
believes that Professor Gates, like Sgt. Crowley, missed opportunities to
de-escalate the encounter.''

Guess they both acted stupidly...
