We may never hear the tape, I’ll bet the Obama Brown shirts have dug up dirt on the cop and threatened to cut funds to the dept. It will be all hugs and kisses.

Of course it is “time to move on” because right now many white Americans seeing the emperor really does have no clothes and we can’t have that now can we?

Great point!

Release the audio of him the officer recorded.

I bet they'll wait for the lawsuit and dump it on him then. LOL

“”in the end, this is not about me at all.”

He was the racist who made it about him.

We don't. If he wants to know what his supporters are thinking, he can very easily do so, but we let the man do according to his own conscience and principles.

It was a marked change in tone for Gates, 58, who in the days following his arrest gathered up his legal team and said he was contemplating a lawsuit. He even vowed to make a documentary on his arrest to tie into a larger project about racial profiling.

Then he found out the police video backed up what the officer said happened! hahahahaha!

1. “ ...my principal regret was that all of the attention paid to his deeply supportive remarks during his press conference had distracted attention from his health care initiative,” Gates said.”

Mission accomplished.

2. “”a profound teaching moment in the history of race relations in America,”

Another narcissist?

3. “I sincerely hope that the Cambridge police department will choose to work with me toward that goal.””

Get a clue, dimbulb. You opened your big mouth (quite obvious in the photos) and played the race card. Cambridge PD doesn’t need any of your “help”.
