2. IMO, Obama spoke too soon. I'm glad he turned out to be right but it might have gone differently.

And I'm pretty sure I'm a cheerleader.

I don't think it's unfair to say that the president didn't have all the facts when he said the police "acted stupidly".

The odds were that they had acted stupidly, but this might have turned out to be one of those cases in which they had probable cause to arrest.

I don't think President Obama had access to enough of the facts of the incident to be sure they had "acted stupidly".

I am, of course, pleased with the outcome.
