the wave of crap that is following this harvard proffesor shit is mind blowing. a new york rep resigned because they exspressed there personal opions on a website. a police officer was suspended. since when is our right to have a opinion about some one racist. or grounds for suspention or cause to resign. the very thought that people cant say what they think about some is insane. even i dont like everyone so why cant i let it be known that i dont like u and why. this is the beggining of something that could be much worse. just my thoughts, so what do you guys think.

you can dislike someone all you want as long as it's for who that particular person is not what color or sex they are. expressing your opinion while generalizing about a certain race gets you fired cause if it's in any way related to your job or was done at your job the company can be held liable in certain circumstances. also, expressing dislike for a co-worker will also get you fired as it's unprofessional and most likely violates company policy on grievances.

Why are you acting as if this whole thing is new? The fake civil rights groups have been doing this shit for years. It's how they make their money.

If the cop were Andy Griffith we wouldn't be hearing all this crap. The Police acted stupidly. The guy was at his own house, the cop should have apologized ,diffusing the situation and then got in his car and left. case closed, but no, the cop has to power trip and since the professor didn't instantly obey the pig then well the cop can make up a charge of "Disorderly Conduct" and arrest him, but really the cop was just pissed off the professor did not submit to his demands. Thats the problem with many police today, they think they are gods and must be obeyed, they are taught this at the academies. Police are here to enforce laws and protect citizens, not judge people and make arrests based on whether someone shit in your corn flakes that morning or not. The professor is using the race card to force the issue, since the cop used legal (But not really Lawful) measures and has a good defense.

I think it's a great case for everyone. Might make a few more power cops re-think their actions. It will make others re-think their re-actions if that's good or not I don't know, I wouldn't mind a beer at the white house. hehehe.

its the cop whos racist, not the professor, unless the professor has stared hating whitey after all of this BS. and even if the media is not racist, they are corrupt for trying to milk the racism out of this for ratings and a scoop

I think its very clear that the POLICE OFFICER was simply responding to a burglary call. It is in fact his job to ask for ID and make sure there isn't someone in the home forcing the homeowner to say everything is fine. At that point the homeowner, in this case professor Gates lost his cool and started calling a POLICE OFFICER that was bound by the requirements of his job, a racist.

Regardless of the pre-existing hatred the professor OBVIOUSLY has for the police and white men, if you lose your freaking cool when talking to a POLICE OFFICER, you're going to raise suspicions. Kind of like if you're speeding and get pulled over, it usually doesn't serve your best interests to flip out and start calling the POLICE OFFICER names and disparaging his mother. I don't care who you are, what color you are or where you are, showing disrespect to a fellow citizen who is doing a job most of us would be scared SH!TLESS to do for even a week is only a sign of YOUR OWN prejudices or racist beliefs.

As to why he was arrested, it seems fairly clear and supported by the neighbors accounts and the fellow POLICE OFFICER'S reports that Gates followed the Seargant out onto the porch and continued to loudly berate and insult him in from of the public. To any remotely honest person, this is the definition of disturbing the peace and it sounds like a night in jail is exactly what this unhinged gentleman needed.

If it was my house, same situation with a latino or black POLICE OFFICER and I acted exactly as Gates did, I would completely expect to get arrested.....wouldn't you?

If not I question your honesty and/or your intelligence

I probably would have asked to see the pictures on the fire place mantle or something so simple that proves he lives there. I don't know the timeline or any of that jazz just the basic scoop. Blink twice if there is a real bad guy in the house telling you to say it's all O.K.

I think it's classic that the lady who called the 5-0 works for harvard. Like she didn't know who it is.

Those "Progressives" on the extreme left are the true racists. They honestly believe that Black people, Hispanics, Gays, Women ... and just about every one else except White Christian Males, cannot rise above poverty, or a narrow, darkened little life without being on the Federal Plantation. A plantation that the extreme left would rule over, of course.
