Gottleib is/was head of President of the Durham Police Officers' Association.

If I remember my unions right, he, of all people, would not be too happy with someone suddenly telling them how to conduct investigations.


I did not put this together. You are right, if anyone in the DPD is sensitive to the issue of someone over stepping their bounds into the turf of the investigator it would be Gottlieb in his roles as an investigator and a union officer.

Remember, this was almost a non-story until Nifong and the Black Activists got a whiff of it.

I remember it was a non-story all you have to do is look at the police actions and inactions after the complaint, but I do not blame the black activists at all. This was stirred up by the Duke leftist faculty, aka the pot bangers. Imagine you are a black activist, once the pot banging leftist of Duke are stirring this up, you have to jump into the fray or look sexist. And it was the pot bangers and their allies at the N&O that brought this case to the attention of Nifong.

My view is that the only reason this case exists is that Duke University hires and tenures people that HATE some of their students based on the race, sex and family income of their students. That is why in my view no self respecting parent would send their child to Duke until it is reformed and some of the Arts and Sciences faculty are removed from the classroom and have their offices taken away or moved to some out of the way part of the campus. [How about 610 Buchanan?]

They are tenured and Duke probably cannot fire them for their bigotry. But Duke is certainly rich enough to continue to pay them without allowing them in the classroom nor allowing them to have an office anywhere around where they can interact with students.
