why oh WHY could COPS have not been shooting in Cambridge that day?
This police report sounds entirely credible to me.
As I mentioned on an earlier thread, I have met Gates earlier in his career (when he was known by his friends as Skip Gates). His first book was actually pretty good, for black studies. And he was a friendly kind of guy.
Reading this, it becomes obvious that he is now so filled with “black pride” that he has lost any common sense and decency that he once had. He didn’t just lose it for a moment, he lost it completely, and he thoroughly deserved to be brought in for disorderly conduct.
No apology is needed from this police sergeant, he was just doing his job and doing it well. But Skip Gates and Barry Soetoro deserve to be condemned as effete snobs and reverse racists. Or—let’s just drop that “reverse” business. This is racism, pure and simple. Gates and Obama are effete establishment racists of the worst kind.
I am struck by one fact. It appears that Mr. Gates is so unfriendly and standoffish ( after all he IS a Harvard person) that his next door neighbor did NOT recognize him.
That may be normal for co-tenants in a 15 story apartment complex, but a little strange for a neighborhood of individual homes.
Not necessarily friendly, or chatting over the fence, of taking walks together, or playing bridge, but NOT EVEN KNOWING BY SIGHT???
Why didn’t he just show the cops some ID when asked and explain he had misplaced his key? Instead of ranting and race baiting. But then how would he have drawn a crowd? The cops wanted to be sure he was the home’s owner. He ought to be glad that an apparent break in was reported and responded to, since he’d had a break in earlier.
The entire situation reeks of an orchestrated stunt by the “victim” and perhaps collaborators. I am not buying any of it. This whole thing stinks on way too many levels, very high levels included.
Well, he might be a black guy, but this ole white boy (i.e., me... ) knows better than to be hollering at police when they are investigating a break-in at a house... LOL...
