    I posted the entire content of the department's statement which called the incident "regrettable and unfortunate."

    You're simply looking for excuses and trying to redefine a very clear statement from the department.

    No police department calls proper actions from one of their officers either regrettable or unfortunate.

    The department did not need this and a smarter officer would have avoided it by not exploding it into what it has become.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    NO, HELL NO, I do not.

    The professor does not work for the police department .. the police department works for him and he helps pay them with his taxes.

    This cop knew the environment in which he was working .. even to the point of him being a profiling instructor.

    WHY DO YOU THING A PROFILING INSTRUCTOR IS NEEDED? Missing from your argument is the justification for the anger, resentment, and mistrust of the police that is shared by people of color. If the police show up at my house and I know no crime has been committed .. why in the fuck are you here.

    Are you willing to bet that his department hasn't already told him that he could have handled this situation better? Are you aware that a similar incident occured in the same area invoiling this department and another professional African-American .. which precipitated the need for a goddamn "profiling instructor?"

    Knowing this as this officer did .. was it smart to escalate this victimless incident any further .. especially after he found out who this person was?

    The bottom line is that the charges were dropped with the quickness .. THUS validating the obvious .. it was a stupid thing to do.

    "Law enforcement sources told ABC News that the conversation between Gates and Crowley was transmitted over Crowley's open police radio and Gates can be heard yelling."

    Anyone besides me want to hear that exchange?

    yet the top cop defended crowley's actions 100%....i'm sure what is regrettable is the national hoopla and probable issues in race matters now

    a more intelligence and truthful professor would not have exploited the situation for his own gain

    show me the racism.....

    you guys are so blind that you call racism just because the prof is black....that is absolute bullcrap and has no basis in fact....so everytime something happens to a black person by a white person....it must be racist

    If he was "exploiting it for his own gain" why wouldn't he do it?

    Did he call the police to his house?

    Surely that must be what you're implying.

    no, he saw the situation as it came....immediately starts yelling racism....for what reason? what was racist in the very beginning, oh i see...a white cop showing up at a black person's house for suspiciion of burglary must be racist? according to what we know....absolutely nothing....from the picture is saw....he is handcuffed in the front, not back and appears to be hamming it up...

    come on, the very next day he just so happens to want to write a book about it...

    The claim is that blacks don't get as much practice as those white folks.

Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    yeah... after all the hype of it being racial profiling/racism etc... I think they should release the entire transcript... start to finish. Then we don't have to guess anymore as to who was more to blame.

    Perhaps you can provide an up to date definition of profiling and whether it exists? It is used by you in post #1 and the thread title.

    I didn't see anything where they said that THE OFFICERS behavior was "regrettable and unfortunate".
    The said the incident and the Prof was an instrumental part of the incident.

    You and the rest of the enablers are only looking for excuses to forgive the Prof's behavior and the redefining appears to be coming from you.
