The police sergeant who arrested Harvard University Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. last week in his own home may be considering a defamation lawsuit against Gates who has implied his arrest was racially motivated. Alan McDonald, who represents Sgt.

He should include the president in the law suit.

given the level of 0bama’s office, this guys should include him in the suit. it’s not like some local commentator said it. this is the POTUS.

It's great to see a man not cowering and bending over for the race baiters.

Hmmm, I didn't know that.

Anyway, I'm not sure this is a good idea. I suspect Crowley hasn't been damaged all that much and Gates has been damaged a lot, so who needs another lawsuit for hate speech?

The “Yo Mama” comment could be considered a hate crime.
