Cambridge Cop To Obama, Fuck You

[RockX]

CNN) -- A Cambridge, Massachusetts, police officer said Thursday he will "never apologize" about how he handled the arrest of prominent black Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. Sgt. Jim Crowley said he has nothing to apologize for in regards to the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr.

"That apology will never come from me as Jim Crowley, it won't come from me as sergeant in the Cambridge Police Department," Sgt. James Crowley told Boston radio station WEEI. "Whatever anybody else chooses to do in the name of the city of Cambridge or the Cambridge Police Department which are beyond my control, I don't worry about that. I know what I did was right. I have nothing to apologize for."

Crowley also said he was exercising caution and is clearly not a racist based on his previous actions.

Those actions, Crowley told the Boston Herald, include giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to former Boston Celtics star Reggie Lewis, who suffered a fatal heart attack in 1993 at Brandeis University when Crowley was a campus cop.

"I wasn't working on Reggie Lewis the basketball star. I wasn't working on a black man," Crowley told the Boston Herald. "I was working on another human being."

Gates was arrested last week at his home after a confrontation with Crowley. Cambridge authorities on Tuesday dropped disorderly conduct charges against Gates.

Good for the cop. Too bad Obama had to pull out the race card, but when your ignorant like he is, what more can we expect.

The absurdity of this guy claiming not to be a racist because he tried to save Reggie Lewis is mind-boggling. He's basically saying he's not a racist because he didn't sit idly by and watch a black man die.

 

[Topspin]

I'm not buying he arrest a white 60yr old in the same situation.
But hey this board knows all the racist are in the south.

is your claim then that he is a racist because he arrested a black man?

 

[Bonestorm]

is your claim then that he is a racist because he arrested a black man?

Negative. I'm not claiming he is or isn't anything. It's just the absurdity of someone claiming not to be a racist because they performed CPR on a black man. I'm guessing the racist CPR-trained police would have just stood around and watched Reggie Lewis die on the basketball court without doing anything.

How does one prove you are not a racist?

Being accused of being a racist is like being accused of being a pedophile. You are guilty until proven innocent. And its almost impossible to disprove.

I know what doesn't help - saying you're not racist because you didn't just idly watch a black guy die.

I'm not racist because I didn't sit idly by watching white people die. Sweet!

 

[blackascoal]

What?

Where's the "fuck you Obama?"

Whether this particular cop is racist or not is yet to be determined, but there is NO question that tensions exist between the Cambridge Police Department and INNOCENT African-Americans students and staff at Harvard.

The absurdity is by all those who automatically assume this guy is a racist because he arrested a black man.

THAT is absurd. You have shown NO evidence AT ALL that this cop is a racist. NONE.

You can say he over-reacted in arresting this guy, but to proclaim it was due to race is idiotic. There is NOTHING that has been presented to suggest this guy is racist. NOTHING.

Thank you. Too bad other idiots on this board are too dense to grasp this fact.

Relax. I haven't said he is racist. Not once. I agreed with Obama that he acted stupidly. That is all.

 

[Damocles]

Relax. I haven't said he is racist. Not once. I agreed with Obama that he acted stupidly. That is all.

I think the first sentence of what he said is where he should have stopped.

"First Skip is my friend and I might be a bit biased."

Further it should have been, "Since this involves a friend, and is a local police matter and I do not have all the facts I will remain silent on this."

Everybody here is talking out their behinds, none of us know what happened there.

Do you really think if he were a 5'2" white woman this would have happened after she'd showed him her identity and proved that she lived in the house?

No more than this would have happened to a 92 year-old white woman ..

Atlanta: 92-Year Old Black Woman killed by 39 shots from Police
http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-24466

Here's the punch line .. the cops killed this woman, falsified their story, then planted drugs at her house, AND threatened an informant with his life if he didn't lie to cover their atrocity.

Think that would happen to a 92 year-old white woman?

 

[Cancel4]

Racism in America is slowly being eradicated - President Obama'a historic victory was the death knell for majority prejudice, but incidents like this prove that the institutional bias of police against Blacks still lingers.

Isn't it ironic that the policeman's name was JIM CROWley?

Jersey City cops just shot a woman too....now granted she was a knife wielding schizo, but, the point is, I personally can't recall in recent current events,cops firing shots into a white woman.

I just never hear about white women ever getting shot.....so puzzling. I guess it means they must never get out of hand.
