I read this and started thinking, he was probably being setup for a civil rights lawsuit against the city and a little “Race Baiting” publicity for some activists.....likely happens much more than we can even imagine.

Didn’t Obama use the phrase “teachable moment” with regards to the Gates incident?
Sickening...

The officer was thrown to the ground and drew his Taser, ready to stun I'm impressed that he didn't cap a half dozen people.
Old ladies, kids.. whoever was in range.

Since it didn’t end up on Youtube I guess they didn’t get what they wanted.

Can we all simply agree that teachable moments suck and we shouldn’t have them anymore? Please?

My gawd that’s just industrial-strength stupid.
Something like that could easily go very badly.

Assault
Conspiracy
Hate crimes
cival liabity for injuries to officer.
To: Bigtigermike
James Harrington, pastor of the Mt. Vernon Missionary Baptist Church, said he set up the scenario to test a white officer's reaction to a fight between two black men.
Sounds like somebody tried to set the officer up but he didn't bite.

"Their job is to protect and serve, and even though they have families and children, that they don't put any regard to their safety," Harrington said. Hey Reverend, let me introduce you to new concept. It's called Conspiracy, as in conspiracy to disrupt the peace and conspiracy to assault a police officer. You are guilty of PWS, preaching while stupid, and admitting your crime to the public.

It brings to mind the story about the boy who cried “wolf!”. Maybe next time the officers won’t take the situation seriously.
To: Bigtigermike
On several occasions as a state peace officer I’ve had people come up and say, “Hey could we play a *joke* on old so-and-so? Just *pretend* to arrest him and...”. It’s amazing the level of stupidity out there and we wonder how we got Obama??

Next time these airheads dial 9-1-1 for real, the Dispatcher should tell 'em the criminals are probably just actors and that isn't real blood emanating from a victim's gsw.

My guess:
1. A second officer will always be assigned to assist the speaking officer at future presentations.
2. Officers will do fewer presentations.

Here’s a teachable moment. Pastor Harrington, who retired and made you Sergeant Grimes’ training officer?

Isn’t this ‘post-racial’ multicultural society just great?
Must be pathetic to always be a victim.
