The AP smears have started.
This isn't a "smear."
The arresting officer was hand-picked by the black police commissioner to teach a course on racial sensitivity at the police academy. It's more vindication for the cop.
If this is a “smear,” it is a lousy one. It just makes the police officers judgement and integrity seem even less questionable. Gates and Obama look like race baiters.
“The AP smears have started.”
Yep. We’ll soon hear about some long lost schoolmate who remembers the officer using the Nword in the 5th grade.
That is not a smear.
The cop gets high marks from his superiors and was recommended to teach racial profiling by a fellow black officer. This just adds to his credibility.
["Crowley responded to Gates' home near Harvard University last week to investigate a report of a burglary and demanded Gates show him identification."]
I'd bet a month's salary that the police politely requested to see an ID. No such demand was made.
