On Wednesday, the White House hosted a poetry night with a performance from Common, author of the work, <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAzTD5ASIf8&feature=player_embedded> "A song for Assata," in dedication to Black Panther Assata Shakur, who was convicted for the 1973 slaying of New Jersey Trooper Werner Foerster. Earlier in the week, Fraternal Order of Police National President Chuck Canterbury sent a letter expressing his "profound disappointment" with the invitation and followed it up with a phone call reminding Mr. Obama's staff that National Police Week is "a time to honor law-enforcement officers for their service and sacrifice."
