The wacky Gawker does, in fact. Huffington Post (as liberal as liberal can get and THEN some) does, too. MSNBC has the discussions on opinion articles on newsvine. Kinda of a quick judgement from seeing Time doesn't, wouldn't you say? (I've just shown where the top 2 DO. )

I shouldn't have said 'never', I should have said more often.

There's some real "Reputable sources" right there.      When, if ever, are you going to address the FACT that the Officer, an ANTI PROFILING INSTRUCTOR, APPOINTED BY A BLACK POLICE COMMISSIONER, was dealing with a BURGLARY SUSPECT.
Since it doesn't fit your fascist PC agenda most likely never.

Haz, never mind this asshole. You can't argue with either a closed or empty mind. This "guy" doesn't seem to understand that THIS websight is for people who respect traditional American values, not "citizens of the world.
When the revolution comes this is the sort of people we will be putting against the wall and shooting as traitors.

I fear for the students of this Onrecess character.

Actually, I fear for all students but this guy has been reading vodoo journalism for far too long.  If we, as a group, ignore him COMPLETELY, maybe he'll move on to another forum where his opinions and about five bucks can buy him a Mocha Latte Capucinno or some such flavorless beverage.

I know we enjoy calling out these guys but this one ain't gonna come back to the middle, he's gone!

Namecalling is fun for children, but has anyone shown the BASIS for these articles, (the illegal arrest by a petty tyrant), to be anything but true?
No.
I cannot be done. READ WHAT THE DEPT AND OFFICER SAID!
it is far easier to attack the messenger and bury one's head in the sand than dispute the facts shown.
Read the articles, the charges, the legal definition of the charge in the articles. Indisputable, well- other than name-calling and nonsense. The man was arrested NOT as a buglary suspect, he was arrested for angry words to a petty tyrant. Every police officer, esspecially this supposed expert on race relations, is taught to defuse such situations or leave- NOT illegally arrest a citizen in his home (and rental homes are your home.)
PS: Hazcat, I often feel that every article I want to respond to also has no comments allowed    I'm sure I've always said right wing sites allow no comments, too.

 Hey Tim, did you see this other thread ?
http://www.downrange.tv/forum/index.php?topic=8001.msg101723#msg101723

Academics, like teenagers, sometimes dont have any sense
     regarding the degree to which they are conformists.

     So says Thomas Bouchard, the Minnesota psychologist known for his
     study of twins raised apart, in a retirement interview with
     Constance Holden in the journal Science.

     Journalists, of course, are conformists too. So are most other
     professions. Theres a powerful human urge to belong inside the
     group, to think like the majority, to lick the bosses shoes, and to
     win the groups approval by trashing dissenters.

     The strength of this urge to conform can silence even those who
     have good reason to think the majority is wrong. You âre an expert
     because all your peers recognize you as such. But if you start to
     get too far out of line with what your peers believe, they will
     look at you askance and start to withdraw the informal title of
     expert they have implicitly bestowed on you. Then youâll bear the
     less comfortable label of maverick, which is only a few stops
     short of scapegoat or pariah.

I did indeed Tom and it's an opinion I share of most, not all, educators that I've run across. 

It's painfully obvious this fella ain't no freakin English teacher cause his composition and punctuation sucks.  He probably isn't a Math teacher because that requires critical thinking.  Sciences?  Doubt it.....

At least with FQ, he admits he's a Poly Sci Prof and laments his decision to vote for the Post Turtle.  This fella got an ass for a hat and his ears are filled with his own feces.  He ain't listening, he's already convinced HIS way is THE way and will drag countless young folks down the path to pain an despair. 

We always need a few more Poly Sci majors to fill bartender positions.  I understand that McDonalds and BK now require at minimum a Liberal Arts Associate Degree!

Gates, Wright, Sharpton, Jackson, and others get their power from playing the race card loud and often.  Gates saw an opportunity in his privlidged, elitist, mind.  He so believes his own indoctrination and self importance that of course the man just had to be putting a black man down.  Only this time it wasn't so.  Gates picked the wrong person to play his race card against.  There will however be no detrimental outcome for Gates and his elitist, racist stature will be elevated.

bHo has shown again that his years of listening to the likes of Wright and others have influenced his racist mindset.  Instead of waiting for the facts, he wades into local issues and plays the race card.  He will win a few points from those that are like minded, but to many he has shown just how biggoted and racist he is.  The police are not the ones that are stupid here as bHo has said.  For that he needs to look in the mirror.

I've heard the calls for a national conversation on race or whatever it's being called.  Any real disscusion on racism must include discussion of racism practiced by blacks.  When the black community comes to the realization that the interest of Gates, Wright, Sharpton, Jackson, bHo, and others are not in their best interest then there is a chance for improved race relationships.  These so called leaders do more to keep the black community down than white racism.

What is clear is that the city of Cambridge has called the arrest "regrettable and unfortunate," and said that dropping the charges was "in the interests of justice." Crowley himself now says that he "regrets that I put the police department and the city in the position where they have to defend something like this." So if Crowley wasn't stupid, then what, exactly, does he regret?

In case you have been sealed in your ivory tower of academia for a protracted period of time, let me translate the statements you quote into plain english.

When the city of Cambridge called the arrest "regrettable and unfortunate" they were saying that it was regrettable and unfortunate that one of your fellow over-educated idiots placed their officer in the position that caused him to make the arrest.  When they say the charges were dropped "in the interests of justice" what they are saying is that it was a political decision designed to avoid a potential increase in irrational racial tensions in their jurisdiction.  And the officers comments reflect a regret that political correctness required his employer to symbolically throw him under the bus.

You bemoan name calling,

Namecalling is fun for children

, yet in your posts you repeatedly refer to this police officer as a "petty tyrant".  Sorry, onebraincell, but you can't have it both ways.  You shall receive in the same manner as you deliver.

I, for one, am sick to death of self-righteous, pseudo-intellectual, left-wing, politically correct assholes like you and your post-turtle imposter-in-chief assuming racism every time there is an interaction between people of different skin colors.  I'm sick to death of your blame the cops first......blame america first.....mentality, the statements of everyone except those with whom you agree be damned!!

In short, I am sick to death of your bullshit.

Have a nice day.  Somewhere else.
