I am sure the policeman is on eggshells. They may have him fired when he gets back. Chrysler had threats. If he pulled something politically incorrect and asked for a colt 45 malt liquor, it could mean gitmo.
Statement from Sgt Crowleys fellow officer who was at the scene of the scholars arrest:
Quote:
...Meanwhile, a black Cambridge police sergeant on the scene the day of Gates' arrest wrote a letter to Crowley, asking him to mention to Gates and Obama that he is now known as the "black sergeant" and to some others as an "uncle Tom."
"I'm forced to ponder the notion that as a result of speaking the truth and coming to the defense of a friend and colleague, who just happens to be white, that I have somehow betrayed my heritage," Sgt. Leon Lashley wrote. "Please convey my concerns to the president that Mr. Gates' actions may have caused grave and potentially irreparable harm to the struggle for racial harmony in this country and perhaps throughout the world.
Lashley wrote in the letter he would like Gates to reflect on the incident and ask himself what responsibility he bears, what he can do to heal the rift and what he can do to mitigate the damage done to the officers' reputations.
This is what I stated previously. Gates has cause damage to race relations by crying racism in a case when there was none.
It's disappointing that this oft-noted "renowned" scholar seems too arrogant to admit the officer was not acting in a racist manner, nor was the arrest motivated by race. Of course, BHO is also too arrogant to admit that he was wrong for jumping in and criticising the officers without knowing what actually happened.
Gates may be a scholar, but he was a dunce and fool for doing what he did.
If I were Crowley, because of Gates' arrogance and non-apology, I would file suit for the slander Gates has caused - both of Crowley himself and the other officers.
Now, I am amazed that this Boston cop got so upset about this incident that even days afterwards he was unable to control himself. He is on leave for this gem of a letter that he wrote and sent to a columnist. Among the wonderful things he had to say about the incident:
“His first priority of effort should be to get off the phone and comply with police, for if I was the officer he verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC deserving of his belligerent non-compliance.”
“He indeed has transcended back to a bumbling jungle monkey, thus he forever remains amid this nation’s great social/racial divide…”
“Gates is a *********** fool and you the article writer simply a poor follower and maybe worse, a poor writer. Your article title should read CONDUCT UNBECOMING a JUNGLE MONKEY-BACK TO ONE’S ROOTS"
Of course he later cleaned it all up when he said "“I regret that I used such words. I have so many friends of every type of culture and race you can name. I am not a racist.”
I personally think that we can use this as a learning tool. Is there a problem with racism including police officers? Yes. Is every situation that is thought to be about race really about race? No.
The problem is that in many places, the problem is so prevalent that there will be times when the accuser may be off. I think that this officer's description of how he would react to being disrespected by a "jungle monkey" is not unique to only him.

I agree with you here! There are some racist idiot police officers out there (not all are white) that spoil it for the large majority of good and decent officers.
Fortunately, Mr. Gates didn't run into one of those racist idiot cops which may have acted "stupidly".

Here would be a good time to complain...not when the white cop approached the black prof.
