Officers Behaving Humorously: Race Card, Harvard,Al Sharpton, and Dave Chappelle
« on: July 21, 2009, 10:28:49 AM »
Quote from: Melissa Trujillo, Associated Press
Police responding to a call about "two black males" breaking into a home near Harvard University ended up arresting the man who lives there — Henry Louis Gates Jr., the nation's pre-eminent black scholar.

Gates had forced his way through the front door because it was jammed, his lawyer said. Colleagues call the arrest last Thursday afternoon a clear case of racial profiling.

Cambridge police say they responded to the well-maintained two-story home after a woman reported seeing "two black males with backpacks on the porch," with one "wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry."

By the time police arrived, Gates was already inside. Police say he refused to come outside to speak with an officer, who told him he was investigating a report of a break-in.  "Why, because I'm a black man in America?" Gates said, according to a police report.

Gates — the director of Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research — initially refused to show the officer his identification, but then gave him a Harvard University ID card, according to police.

"Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him," the officer wrote.

He was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after police said he "exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior." He was released later that day on his own recognizance.

Personal opinion:  The officer appeared to have been doing proper police work.  Was confronted with an absolute tool, whom had a major chip on his shoulder, and was an absolute ass.  Officers responded to the asshatery with being an ass right back.

No, perfesser, not because of the skin hue you carry around did you get the beatdown you so richly deserve, it was because of the chip you carry on your shoulder.

Interesting enough, for being the Pre-Eminent black scholar in our nation... he certainly is a bit behind in the Google rankings...  :uhsure:

He is the pre-eminent LIBERAL black scholar in our nation that particular block of houses in Boston.  To the rest of the world he is a "Who the hell is he?"

This is total BS!

Ya want to know what would happen to a WHITE MAN who pulled the same BullShit? I bail them out of jail all of the time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it amazing when they get treated just like the rest of the population, that they scream racism for being treated the same as the rest of us?

If this is not trying to get preferential treatment because of race, what is?
