More committees, more feel good race programs, more kissing the a$$es of the racist.
Ya want to put a stop to this BS? Give each cop a digital recorder, and make it policy to record all contacts with blacks and other minorities.
This news conferences is so typical, and so damn disgusting.
The cop must be sitting on the side lines, thinking, "What is all this bullsh*t, I didn't do a damn thing wrong"...
One of the things Crowley does is provide training on the subject of racial profiling - evidently what is and what isn’t. This is in MA where I somehow doubt racial profiling is rampant to begin with.
I’m a proponent of racial profiling. Because ‘cultural diversity’ has God-like status in this country, we are familiarized with the varying behaviors and attitudes among the various ‘cultures.’ As such, certain behaviors and viewpoints are more predictable among one culture versus another. In law enforcement, it is the responsibility of the police to try to avert criminal behavior whenever possible. If somebody from a culture which produces a higher rate of criminals, especially violent criminals, is seen behaving suspiciously, it would not be unreasonable to watch that person or question him, and a law enforcement officer is more likely to do that when dealing with people of cultures from which a particular undesirable behavior is more prominent. In MA, I suspect that this logical response from law enforcement is quelled and quashed to the greatest degree possible, violence be damned, property crimes be damned.
So, in Crowley’s case as someone who provides sensitivity to racial profiling issues and is not a supporter of racial profiling or he wouldn’t have been given the training job on the subject, what’s happened to him with Gates may be a matter of “let no good deed go unpunished” from some people’s perspective. But from other, perhaps more realistic perspectives, it may be more a case of “you reap what you sow.”
