Obama is all about Obama. Pick and choose, wisely we can see, and we can see just which ones, he inserts himself in. Wonder why.
I think we know the reason why?

That is not what happened.

I've read the police report.

The arrested him after verifying that it was his residence.

Shoddy police work, making the cops look dumb.

So, what about the case in your OP is reflective of a controversy? What should Obama have written to the English family? How should he have been involved?

The truth is that there was nothing for him to say or do. A tragedy for the family, no doubt. The perp is serving life w/o parole. There are no loose ends or police-centered point of contention.

That of course makes no sense.

Obama is a world leader, who picks and chooses which events to comment on. It just so happens that he only comments on situations that benefit him politically.

Clearly it was exemplary police work. And the professor was spoiling for a fight.

It certainly would not have cost the President anything to respond to their letter. He chose not too. It is clear he chose not to, because there was no political benefit to him.

Actually we are both correct, he refused to show ID, initially, but was arrested for causing a disturbance, see attached.

Then maybe you should start a nasty thread filled with phony outrage.

Obama will be very proud of himself. He is destroying the USA at breakneck speed. His masters will be pleased.

Is there proof that he even saw the letter? Do you know how many letters are received daily? Do you have any idea how many hands they go through?
Do you know how many actually end up in his hands?

OR...are you just assuming that since letters were sent, that they went right through to his desk, and were given high priority?
