"The Cambridge police acted stupidly"

The Cambridge cop prominent Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. claims is a racist gave a dying Reggie Lewis mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in a desperate bid to save the Celtics [team stats] superstar’s life 16 years ago Monday.
“I wasn’t working on Reggie Lewis the basketball star. I wasn’t working on a black man. I was working on another human being,” Sgt. James Crowley, in an exclusive interview with the Herald, said of the forward’s fatal heart attack July 27, 1993, at age 27 during an off-season practice at Brandeis University, where Crowley was a campus police officer.

Gee, I don’t think this one is breaking Prof. Gates’ way.
Anyone from closer to the action know more about how this is playing out locally?
"The Cambridge police acted stupidly"
“That’s incredible,” Lewis, 44, exclaimed. “It’s an unfortunate situation. Hopefully, it can resolve itself. The most important thing is peace.”
At least he has the media and the Obortion Administration on his racist ass's side.
but,but,but, Obama said tonight that racism is still a problem in this country..could he be mistaken???? Or how about he’s a Rev. Wrights lying black liberationists

This will not die and it is not a Friday. Reggie Lewis was loved by the blacks in Boston and this is the white man who tried to save him mouth to mouth. Obama is toast. Cops all over will hate him. The military hates him and now possibly the Secret Service hates him, hopefully, he will resign.
Is Zero guilty of hatespeech under recently enacted legislation?
The arrest and subsequent dropped charges are THE story on local Boston radio/TV/news.
But even the liberal Boston Globe is reporting the same positive info on the cop as the conservative Boston Herald (albeit with a different headline):
Obama said tonight that racism is still a problem in this country..could he be mistaken????
No, he’s not mistaken racism is still a problem of black
people.
He will never resign.
Once the media turns on him, that is, after everyone else has seen ‘the Emperor has no clothes’, perhaps massive negative public opinion will impell Obama to withdraw and cease trying to ram ridiculous programs through Congress. But resign? No. He will have to be forced out, most likely by the military.
Take a look at how liberal Bostonians are reacting by reading their responses to this article on the Boston Globe website.
They sound like a bunch of FReepers!
Why is it that 95% of these racist outrages by government officials occur in entities governed by the Democrat Party?
The police union should demand that the charges against this race peddling professor be restored!
The local news showed a segment of Gates on what appeared to be a TV talk show. Don't know if that show was national or just local, since I barely caught it on my way out, but from what I did see, it was very troubling. There was Gates onstage saying that this was a rogue cop, and out in the audience were many young Black men listening very intently, and probably taking this man at his word that this was a racist incident. Gates should be ashamed at what he is doing, but I'm not going to hold my expecting him to man up and take responsibilitlty for his own actions. No, he'd rather be a coward and draw more people in to his racist views, and make no mistake, Gates is a racist, and the worst kind.
There was also an interview with someone who seemed to be a community activist, and he made the statement that since the Cambridge Police Department dropped the charge of disorderly conduct, then that shows that the Police did something wrong.
As soon as I read that the Cambridge Police Department dropped the charges, I thought to myself, that's a big mistake because people are going to react to it just the way that previous gentleman did, and now that our idiot President has gotten himself involved in this, it can only get worse.
Officer Crowly has made it clear though, tht he is not going to apologize....and believe me, he has made it *very* clear. Good for him.
From my perspective, I only have one word that sums up Gates: assh*le.
With all due respect for your optimism, as someone who suffered through the roller coaster ride that was the Clinton eight year disaster, with one legitimate reason after another that a person with an ounce of integrity and/or patriotism would SURELY resign, and post after post on FR confidently declaring he was "toast", I no longer expect anything resembling decency or patriotism from anyone connected with the Democrat Party.
Obortion, although not the sexual pervert Clinton is, is seriously deluded by his high opinion of himself and the Marxist ideals he embraces, and insulated by the media and syncophants, to ever resign.
The Prez couldn’t just say “Mr.Gates is a friend of mine whom I respect very much, I’m sure there was some mistake, but at this point I don’t really have information.” No, he had to go on and give a sermon on the back of Officer Crowley.
