Suppose a cop didn't arrest a guy who was ranting and raving -- in his own home -- and, an hour later, the hothead assaults someone. Policeman: I was as surprised as anyone that he shot his girlfriend! Every liberal in the country would demand the cop's head.
And by the way, try screaming at a judge that he's a racist and see what happens. Why should police officers deserve less protection than judges? They're in more danger.
The disorderly conduct charge was not dropped because it wasn't a good arrest. It was dropped, according to Gates' own lawyer, because of Gates' connections.
Sorry Ann - birthers like me have no interest in you anymore. Buh bye.
Hey, Cambridge Police Department: RELEASE THE TAPES!
I am still surprised the police officer is going to have a beer with those race baiters.
And of course all of the---how can I delicately say this---black pundits on TV (as well as the wannabe lackey suck-ups like Matthews etc) use the fact that the charges were dropped to prove that the cop shouldn't have arrested "Skippy."
LOL, they all call him by his "white" nickname as if they know the lovable little fuzzball personally.
How feckin more childish can you people get?
Get Lost Annie, you have declared yourself a gutless RINO on the Obama BC issue.
Enjoy your Kool-Aid, foo!
The cop has to have a beer with them. He works for the city which is one of the most liberal towns the country. If he did not it would hurt his career.
No way will this come out in his favor.
Three to one: Obama, Gates and the MSM against a white blue collar American.
They will treat him with feigned respect but the disdain for his "inferior" race will be apparent.
Fox and Friends are calling it the “3B Summit.”
I'm anxious to see Obama reprimand Gates for playing the race card and calling for a fight by insulting Sgt. James Crowley's mother in a way that is the same as calling someone an Oedipus Complex imbiber and basically is challenging some one to defend their mother's good name.
That being the case, I would ensure that my fingers were crossed and in full view of the camera every time they took my photo.
The liberal argument is disingenuous. You cannot curse a cop, you cannot incite a riot, you cannot make false accusations of racism in order that people in the street are stirred into violence against the police. We are not going to establish a lie that white cops are racists because Gates screams it and police must walk away and give tacit consent - it only will bring about greater harm to the police in the future. The false charges will be answered and dealt with. This is what Skippy Gates did. He made a minstrel show out of this in order to get arrested. This is Tawana Brawley and the mythical “Irish supremacists” that raped her, according to Al Sharpton. These are people who are free to lie and immune from accountability because of what happened decades ago in Selma. It seems they cannot get beyond it, they are stuck in a Rosa Parks do loop that never changes - and because it still works.
There was no profiling, the police were called to the house, at risk of their own lives and to protect the life and property of Skippy Gates. Even Colin Powell admitted Gates was wrong.
Further, you cannot have this discussion of racial profiling without discussing the catastrophe of black crime. Gates and Obama act like it doesn’t exist, they act like the cops just do this without any real knowledge of the streets or crime statistics. The incidence of black crime far outweighs anything on the criminal spectrum - blacks are seven times more likely to be incarcerated that whites - is that James Crowley’s fault. A white woman is 100 times more likely to be raped by a black man than a black woman is to be raped by a white man. Does that fact resonate with anyone? Gun crime and violence is off the charts, go to Camden or Newark NJ - do you think there is a reason that the police are a little jumpy? When these cowards refuse to talk about these hard cold facts and chalk everything up to white racism - you don’t have a dialogue, you have a raving demagogue spewing propaganda that enriches himself at the expense of the truth. That would be Gates, Wright and Obama.
(By the way, had Crowley said “Yo Mama” to Gates, we would have never heard the end of how he ‘viciously taunted him.’)
I have no power to do that — only Annie can do that, and she took a big first step.
It’s her call.
Well, I hope Gates is real proud of himself - he could have gotten a woman killed - the 911 caller. The idiot! And for what? So he could play the race card? He thought he was so clever - What an absolute poop! All he proved is that he has a big mouth. Someone should make HIM apologize - to the police and to Crowley!
Yup
You are also right on about the "yo mama" comment had Crowley said it.
Who is the Eugene Robinson she’s talking about?
Ann explains the obvious. This has been discussed, for days, on FR.
Ann needs to think less about book sales, TV and her bottom line. Her patented "tuff conservative chick" acting is getting old...........
No kidding. How dare a conservative have a differing point of view because if they do, some folks here (you know, the pure conservatives..the ubra conservatives...the ultra conservatives..the chosen conservatives...etc) will decide if you are worthy any longer.
And we wonder why we’re getting our clocks cleaned in elections.
