Great, now everybody is going to be out arresting black people in the hopes of scoring free beer in the White House.

^or conversely every black person is going to be screaming racism in an attempt to score an invite to a pissup with their homey prez at the 'White' house. Is that racist?

No, Because you are correct.But the Prez is or he would not have fallen in line so quick, even before he knew any facts.

I'd bet 20/1 that Gates don't drink beer.

Heh...this is blowing back in BO's face big-time...

^ I think that's a pre-Obama make peace interview.
It was Gates' "do you know who I am" and "your mama" comments that were the most laughable. I have his address; we should start sending him sympathy cards.

you know? they were even courteous enough to cuff him in the front!!! They never do that normally..

Never done it to me either, once tho only used one, but it was one called a "Come along" AKA "The Claw".

Black Cops are probably more racists than White cops, even when arresting other blacks

Very true, and more so when being a lead man or foreman in charge of a crew of blacks.

Race riots coming?

I fear you are correct, nice pic of the rwo most racist assholes in America, could have got Khun Obama in there and made it three most.

well I'd throw Sharpton and Obama's former pastor (who's name escapes me at the moment) into that mix.. It's a close running...

Are you seriously referring to human beings as a "Cockroach"? Wow! That's pretty extreme..

Are they talking about riots or just using the card to get publicity?

Not a trick of memory, but just not important enough to make an impression.

^ True.

Here's an ending to a Bloomberg op piece today. (The rest is largely a rehash of the Gates arrest).

“Once you’re yelling at a police officer in front of the public,” says Peter Moskos, a criminologist at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, “it’s no surprise he got locked up. Cops don’t lose face.”
Minorities probably are disproportionately arrested for contempt of cop. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer concluded that in a report last year.
But in the Gates-Crowley encounter, only one of them indisputably had race on his mind from the start. And it wasn’t Crowley.

Obama Tilts Harvard’s Gates Bust Away From Reality: Ann Woolner - Bloomberg.com

I found it interesting that several media initially accused the 911 caller as racist for sayig two "black" men were trying to bust into the house. Not true as the tapes were released and proved she did not -- she even called them "gentlemen". But, the dispatcher asked her if the men were white, black or hispanic. Hey! What about Asians, Indians, Arabs...

"Many police officers across the country have a message for President Barack Obama: Get all the facts before criticizing one of our own. Obama's public criticism that Cambridge officers "acted stupidly" when they arrested black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. could make it harder for police to work with people of color, some officers said Thursday."

Nothing new for Obama and his side kick VP. They talk without having all the information. Same thing with their policies.

yeah, let's take a look at that police report and the lies contained within....

The woman whose 911 call led to the arrest of Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. spoke publicly for the first time about the case Wednesday, contradicting the arresting police officer on a key point

A police report said the caller described the possible burglars as "two black males with backpacks" — leading some commentators to vilify the caller as racist since it turned out Gates was entering his own home.

But the 911 recording released by police showed that Lucia Whalen never said two black men were involved. She did not describe their race, acknowledged they might just be having a hard time with the door and said she saw two suitcases on the porch.

crowley acted stupidly.....and then lied in the police report to cover his stupidity....and cambridge police department covered its own ass by dropping the charges.

The arresting officer, Sgt. James Crowley, has said his information on the race of the suspects came during a brief encounter with Whalen outside Gates' house. Whalen contradicted that Wednesday, saying she made no such description and that the only words he uttered were for her to stay where she was.

i hope she files some sort of suit against this lying cop..
