When its a POLICE Officer in UNIFORM I talk respectful ....sick, tired, whatever. If you want to go to jail act a fool.
Take responsiblity for your words and actions.

Officer Crowley never overreacted. He did exactly as he was trained to do and should of done. Gates is the one who overreacted from the start. He should be apologizing to the entire country for creating a racial incident when none existed. Obama should do the same.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — The white police sergeant criticized by President Barack Obama for arresting black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his Massachusetts home is a police academy expert on understanding racial profiling
.


Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley, the cop at the center of a firestorm over the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., has taught a racial profiling class at the Lowell Police Academy for five years.

His academy class, which he teaches with a black police officer, instructs about 60 police cadets per year who spend 12 hours in the classroom, said Lowell Police Academy Director Thomas Fleming

Impersonating a Victim
By W. R. Wansley

This past March 29th, Professor Henry Louis Gates was being interviewed in front of a small group by Walter Isaacson on C-SPAN's Book TV. Thirty-three minutes into the discussion about his new book on Lincoln, Professor Gates began a detailed account of his own genealogy. He said that in doing so he had discovered he was about "50% white". He said that this was quote, "To my astonishment and horror...".

He continued by saying that he had subsequently sent his DNA off to be tested. This time, upon finding out he was "57% white", he said again, "to my horror .... I was becoming more white by the minute". To this Gates, Isaacson and everyone else there chuckled.


Something tells me that if Mr. Isaacson had said that he also had sent his DNA off and found that to his "astonishment and horror" he was 57% black, no one would chuckle, least of all the Professor of African American Studies at Harvard, Dr. Gates.


This diminutive man is the epitome of intellectual elitism. He goes on book tours touting books he has written. He lectures at symposiums on race. He travels for pleasure. He is vaunted and toasted where ever he goes. He loves to talk about where he dines and drops a "Martha's Vineyard" or the like, in conversation here and there. Except for his being slightly handicapped -- he walks with a cane -- he is living a charmed life. He is embraced by his mostly lily-white fellow liberal elites. He makes a good living -- inside work with no heavy lifting.


He is good friends with none other than the President of the United States and so much so that the President will lurch to his defense -- with prejudice. He can publicly disrespect an officer who was called to protect his property. He even, it is now known, has a get out of jail free card.


The Gates arrest fiasco has put into sharp focus the difference between class and race in America. It has also contrasted the pseudo victimhood of Gates with the legitimate victims of Jim Crow. His defenders try playing the tattered race card but it doesn't work this time. "Black men are arrested in greater proportion than whites", they squawk. If Gates is indicative, now we know why.


We have now all heard the verbal abuse Gates hurled at the officer -- who was called to protect his property. Gates theatrical reaction to the situation: "This is what happens to a black man in America!" What? Returning to your posh residence from your trip to China and having a neighbor look out for you by reporting suspicious behavior in your upper-crusty neighborhood and having a white public servant come check on your place for you -- is that what "happens" to you in America, Dr. Gates? Swing low sweet chariot.


Immune to embarrassment he continues undaunted. When he is asked by the officer to step outside, Gates articulately replies, "I'll step outside with yo'-mama!" The words of his repartee ring hollow -- even pathetic. And funny too -- but alas I am laughing at him not with him. What a joke.


Until now I have thought highly of Dr. Gates. Regrettably he has been unmasked as another successful black man unable to come to terms with a country that has given him so much, but he is required to hate as part of the milk-the-guilt charade. He now reminds me of Jeremiah Wright, a man who lives in a million dollar mansion in a gated community where he continually smolders with hatred for the country that has "persecuted" him so.


The President, Gates and Wright: three conspicuously successful black Americans irritably fixated on race. Perhaps Wright is dealing with some of these same white genealogy issues as Gates and the President -- pray tell?


Gates must believe using such colloquialisms as "yo' mama" gives him some sort of black victimhood authenticity. What a fool. In reality, he is a member of the American aristocratic class. As a victim, he is an imposter.

If Gates was white, would we ever have heard of this encounter? Or, if Crowley was black? Or, if they were both white?



How can anyone not see that the underlying cause was Gates (over) sensitivity to being non-white? It is platform upon which he has built his very career, for crying out loud. Beneath the degrees lies the core of any person. It is the truth about any of us.

I may not like what some cops do, but that doesn't mean I can shoot my mouth off at them. Crowley was just doing his job.

What does Stanley Fish being white have to do with ANYTHING???
Everyone is staarting to make excuss for the rude unacceptable behovior to a Police Officer who was doing his JOB.

I KNOW what I would do, you can scoff all you want but been there done that.

Here is why officers dont play when coming upon unknown people......

Sage- you are a comedy....Two weeks ago all cops were "boot jacked thugs" to you- and taking all your "liberties" away-- now they fit your agenda to attack Obama and hatemonger more racism- and all cops are just angels that you should say yes sir and no sir too- (except unless they come to ask you about your guns- then you should shoot them- eh ?)

From Diggs- as more see thru this it...

And by the way, if anyone wants to see some real incoherence on this subject, consult the right wingers who are defending the policeman today, but who also believe that anyone has the right to shoot first and ask questions later if they "feel" threatened in their own home. By their lights, Gates should have been arrested for behaving "tumultuously" but would have been within his rights to shoot Sgt Crowley. This is why conservatives have no standing to discuss anything more complicated than Sarah Palin's wardrobe.

Even as it was, if Obama had not stuck his nose in to it, we'd have never heard and we wouldn't have all these blacks on the television clear down here stating Crowley was wrong.

Looks like Obama wants to be mediator now.

BOSTON - Black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says he will accept President Barack Obama's invitation to visit him at the White House along with the white police officer who arrested the Harvard professor.

Yep "loud and tumultous behavior in a public place". What a crock the guy was on his front porch.

According to every dang police officer that is speaking up, white or black, Officer Crowley did exactly as he was trained to do.

If Gates and Obama weren't wolf crying racists, we never would of heard of this.

Well this country is a sad state of affairs when you can't tell a cop to go to hell from your front porch.

The saddest thing is the people (complainant and suspect) live on the same block- and they don't know each other...Hard to believe when you live in area you know where about everyone lives in your town- and if you're going to be gone a day or two you have your neighbors watch the place for you--- that there are areas in this country where folks don't talk to or even know who their neighbors are..... :( :( :(
