AP: A black police officer who was at Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s home when the black Harvard scholar was arrested says he fully supports how his white fellow officer handled the situation. Sgt. Leon Lashley says Gates was probably tired and surprised when Sgt. James Crowley demanded identification from him as officers investigated a report of a burglary. Lashley says Gates' reaction to Crowley was "a little bit stranger than it should have been." Asked if Gates should have been arrested, Lashley said supported Crowley "100 percent."

Zero has described both Rev Wright and Gates as ‘good friends’. He has apologized for neither.
Gates taught at Duke University 1989-91, transferring to Harvard circa 91/92, about the time Zero was attending Harvard under the money of Kalid Al-Mansour, and about the time Zero was introducing his family to Rev. Wright’s racist church. Gates claims to be descended from an “Irish king’ (ring a bell?)
Gates wrote a recent article idolizing Zero’s ascendency to president, in which he whined, “this does not wipe the bloody slate clean”. He is a self-proclaimed expert on “every incident in the history of racism in America”.
In the interview linked below, Gates also claims he wants to be “a figure for prison reform”, and expressed plans to pen a documentary on being arrested “not as a famous academic but as an unrecognized black man,” (although he was very deliberate in presenting his Cambridge id instead of a driver’s license). One could assume, therefore, Gates is using this self-manufactured incident as a means to sell his hate-mongering to a producer, for a profit of course.

Zero has also claimed descent from Irish nobility:

I am noticing that what Obama hates in other people is all the things he is. HE acts stupidly. HE divides along racial lines. HE is “the rich”.
That's Racist!
What isn't anymore?
Why certainly. This too good a "crisis" to let go to waste.

Let’s hope my friend.
By the way, you live in my favorite state!
I can’t get the wife to move because of family, Kentucky is as far south as she’ll go.
Have a good night!

My brother in law is a black police officer. I’ve been wondering how he feels about Obama dissing his fellow officer.
I haven’t asked him (and probably won’t), but I’ll bet that Obama just lost another supporter.
what do you expect, the black officer has to work for and see the sergeant daily for the next 20 years not for the professor.
“tired?”
this was breathalyzer territory.
Who gives a rats *ss about a local cops struggle with a racist black man.
This is SOOOOOOOO unimportant while socialized medicine is still on the table, and freedom’s head is on the chopping block.
This health care bill is a game-changer.
With the passing of this bill comes EVERYTHING the left needs to take your freedom.
Guns? Gone.
Taxes? Excrutiatingly high.
Paychecks? If you can get a job. Everyone’s standard of living will fall. No growth, or VERY little growth, for decades, which is just fine with the socialists.
Constitution? On its way out the door. Once they have such control over the American people the rest will be fairly easy to do with a little time (rot).
This is a seminal moment in American history. America, the land of the free, home of the brave, will not survive if they are ALLOWED to socialize YOUR medical care.
This is it, folks.
Agreed in full.
Thanks for posting.
You must be talking about only the 3% blacks who did not vote for 0bozo as having integrity, because the 97% who DID vote for 0bozo are shameless race baiting hustlers, racist, bigoted & dumb ass idiots who were and still are salivating at the thought of the all the freebies they can extract (or extort) from whitey, now that they have their own race baiting hustler in the WH.
Good, can we help to pay this dumb ass's flight to N Korea, Cuba or Iran and let him investigate their prisons there as a prisoner?
Maybe the driver was in the back flushing something down the toilet. Maybe the driver wasn't just a driver after all. Maybe Gates was having a homosexual encounter with his driver. Nothing can be put passed the disgusting lives of a Communist Party member..

Agree completely.
They'll have a total lock on Americans' freedom and overwhelming control of the economy.
Yup, he's a hater, a polished one, but still a hater.
This stuff is making me cynical.
The whites around me that still support Obama are hypocritical and digusting.
They are trash.
