Oh, I get it, from now on we just automatically disbelieve anything the cops have to say, is that it?

Does that apply to all cops? Or just cops of a certain color?

Is there ANY evidence whatsoever that Crowley acted inappropriately? Anything???

Maybe Gates should bring charges against the police force and the cop. That way we could hear his side of the story.

How about that?

Hi Cop

Legend you still part of the klan? White Power......Not

Its so obvious that race had nothing to do with this. Gates cried racism because thats what he does all day at Harvard, its his life.

What is really disgusting is how the liberal media is making him look like a victim. The cops were simply there to protect his home that appeared to be broken in to. The first person that reported this told the cops that 2 black men were on the porch. This cant be profiling either beacuse the race of the suspects were announced. Were the cops supposed to look for Chinese or White people on the porch? Gates is obviously full of shit, as is his whole being! :twisted:

Kramer. You already admitted that Gates was unjustifiably arrested for complaining to the officer about racist treatment. Arresting him for that particular reason IS racism. How blind are you?? If he followed the officer outside while loudly recommending an excellent nearby fishing-hole, do you think he would’ve been arrested for disorderly conduct???

I posted my thoughts in another similar thread, but thought worthy to post here, as well..

If I may chime in here for a second... Ok, well it is clear that corporate mainstream media is swallowing this story up and turning it into a race based issue (again). At least that is a primary angle of the story that they are spewing out. Here's the deal wit THAT. They are skirting around the MAIN ISSUE and not talking about it at all. That is, the fact that we live in a friggin police state and if anybody is aware and knowledgable of their Civil Rights (apparently this guy was, as he stood up for himself) they will get bullied around and charged with something (anything that they can throw at you, actually). The Constitutional Rights this guy was presenting the police with, got shit and pissed on and flushed down the toilet about 9 years ago, thanks to 9/11. Most people aren't even aware of their Rights, and this is the sad part. Once again, this story is not a race based issue people; it's totalitarianism. You won't here the media talk about this either. Dr. King Jr. spoke of this very concept though and look where it got him!?!

OK, fair enough pal... but next time you get pulled over and a cop wants to search your car, and you tell him "no" under the guise of your 4th Amendment privacy rights; take note what happens, please.

Well, popular trends in fairly recent legislation definitely don't indicate trends in the opposite direction now, do they?
