Remember the Cambridge Police Department? Sgt. Crowley and Professor Gates?
Today the Cambridge Police Officers issued their endorsement of State Senator Scott Brown for the US Senate race in Massachusetts. The Officers wanted to make it a point to stress who they were endorsing, and to eliminate the “implied” endorsement of AG Martha Coakley that her campaign was implying:
“Members of our Association have inquired and requested that we endorse Scott Brown in the upcoming election against Martha Coakley. Ms. Coakley along with some of her campaign workers have talked publicly about how her husband is a retired Cambridge Police Officer, giving appearances that she is being endorsed by the Cambridge Police. This may be an innocent insinuation but most do take this as our giving her our support and endorsement. Yesterday, the CPPOA Executive Board voted to endorse State Senator Scott Brown in the upcoming election for US Senate.”
The Massachusetts State Police and Cambridge Police NOT endorsing the state’s ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Obama Starts Daily Press Briefing with a “Non-Apology Apology”

Just several hours after the Cambridge Police took umbrage with the words and rhetoric of Pres. Barack Obama with regard to the arrest of his friend Prof. Henry Gates of Harvard.
Obama says that his choice of words at his press conference were perhaps wrong, and led to the appearance of a maligning of Sgt. Crowley and the Cambridge Police, but he defends his position of how a black man was handled in this situation.
The President stressed that both the Sgt. and the Professor are good men, caught in a situation that went awry, perhaps both overreacting.
Without saying the word “apology” or “I’m sorry”, the President has essentially issued a “Non-apology” apology. Obama does not want this race issue to continue to drown out his healthcare reform initiative.
