More news about the officer which makes it look worse for the scholar and President ...
Quote:
For five of the past six years, Crowley also has volunteered alongside a black colleague in teaching 60 cadets per year about how to avoid targeting suspects merely because of their race, and how to respond to an array of scenarios they might encounter on the beat. Thomas Fleming, director of the Lowell Police Academy, said Crowley was asked by former Cambridge police Commissioner Ronnie Watson, who is black, to be an instructor.
"I have nothing but the highest respect for him as a police officer. He is very professional and he is a good role model for the young recruits in the police academy," Fleming said.

I think that dumb comment the nutty professor made - what was it? - "You don't know who you're messing with," is really going to come back on him. It's actually the scholar who didn't realize who the officer was that he's accusing of being a "race-baiter," "racist," etc.
Sorry, tstew+, but I don't need more to tell me this scholar created this racial incident out of thin air ... there was no racism here. The officer is a good man who's being smeared by this scholar, the President, the mayor of Cambridge and the governor --- incidently all of whom are black.
I would hate to think these individuals are biased by the color of their skin to this incident ... but why else would the President rush to judge the officers; the mayor rush to apologize and demand the charges be dropped; and the governor rush to criticize the officer involved.
Unfortunately there yet remains racism in America ...
And it's very unfortunate that this scholar resorted to opportunism and tried creating something that wasn't in order to push his belief that "this is what happens to black men in America."
I don't need to read or watch any of the scholars work to know his bias. His actions here show his own racism and lack of character.
