Sorry, grammar and spelling are the hobgoblins of little minds. Authors find a voice and a style of their own. (Unfortunately, my spelling does suk (sic). Fortunately, no educated person believes this reflects intelligence but rather it illustrates it.
I didn't graduate with highest honors from not being careful enough to write in the expected manner and style. I can also speak with the expected vocabulary, conventions, and jargon... Or I can say, "Jim, ya see that sh!$? That aint right." Neither shows my intellect.
I am, by the way, a Science Teacher. You know, that crazy cult that believes in proof and not blind faith. The Science that allows our life as we know it and scares the feeble minded who fear the ruination of their superstition.
Ahhh! A SCIENCE teacher!!!! Run fer yer lives! Don't let the kiddies hear about the HUNDREDS of "missing links" we like to pretend don't exist.
Pulling your chain is fun. I am assured, as in this thread, that a logical rebuttal is beyond you.
I'm waiting to hear SOMEONE show the legal basis for this arrest. Anyone? (PS: read the disturbing the peace law in the article.) I never thought conservatives would back police abuses in a citizen's home. I guess it depends on the citizen. I never expected conservatives to endorse bowing to an authority figure as "smart" or , God forbid, necessary to avoid arrest. THIS is why I left the Republican Party when Reagan showed up. All that was left was a puppet show and cowtowing to the wealthy and powerful. We've got the modern GW Hoover. Ahh, were is the progressive Republican Teddy Roosevelt? THAT is a Republican. These are merely failed actors. Trickle down indeed! The same failed idea of deregulation that started the first depression. We went from 15 billionairs to 1004 as the middle class lost wages and numbers. How, EXACTLY, does that benefit YOU? A new Republican Pary will appear one day. One that actually does what it claims- like Teddy's. Republicans ruled all three branches. Where are your hot-bed issues? Did they legalize open carry? Outlaw paperwork to buy ammo? Allow full auto ownership? Oulaw abortion? Eliminate medicare, social security, govt healthcare for congressmen, public education, enforce immigration law, etc, etc, etc? Hmm, seems like they played some people for fools. The "Christian" Right finally saw they were considered the lunatic fringe by BOTH parties, ESPECIALLY GWs admin! Wake up call!
Blackwolfe: As far as the race card, the police have a certain rep for picking on the disenfranchized. If Gates is wrong then why was he illegally arrested? For defying (orally) the police? Is that better or worse? If it is just a petty tyrant being business as usual that means all of us better learn to cowtow in our own homes. I'm not sure that paints a better picture than race. It means we are all inferior to the police and better not be uppity to our betters.  I would agree, though, that it was about that expected deference and not race. I somehow don't feel better.
And the police call someone elses acts unfortunate and regrettable? BS, they call arrestable behavior a CRIME. THEIR illegal actions are regrettable and unfortunate. The tired attacks of hating or blaming police? He illegally arrested him! How else can you describe it? I judged the cop's illegal act.

Sgt. Crowley will not lose his job, the fellow Sgt. who is a Black man at that, supported the arrest. (previous post). When the audio is released of the entire event, we will all hear the pompous, arrogant, disorderly, disrespectful, boasting of Gates.

He was arrested for being an asshole, it's not on the books, but for the next few hours Gates STFU, got booked, and hopefully, but not likely, learned a lesson.

Chris Rock says to BE POLITE.

Had Gates conducted himself in such a manner worthy of his position, it would have taken 2 minutes, and we never would have heard about this...cause the cops would have left.

Who instigated and ratcheted UP the whole situation? Uh, that would be the professor.....

You are correct, sir.  The final decision regarding whether or not someone is ticketed, arrested, or even shot by a police officer is not made by the officer.  That decision is made by the person (for lack of a better word, "suspect") who causes the police officer to respond in a manner that he or she deems appropriate.  In other words, had the good professor simply behaved in a rational manner there would have been no arrest, and nobody would've ever heard about this situation.  This is a simple case of what happens when playing the race card blows up in your face.

Are there racist white police officers?  Absolutely.  Is this officer one of them?  Not if you believe what those who know him have to say about him.  Are there racist black academics?  Apparently.  Is the good professor one of them?  Without question.

Ever notice how libs - when they get worked up on something - tend to write longer and longer posts each time they have something to say? Written equivalent of yelling and waving their hands and talkin gover you I guess. I expect his next one to be damn near a whole page long, if anyone cares to tweak his nose one more time.

What the hell, I'll do it. OK, so you went from a NYC gossip rag to a NYC shit rag (Time) and an article written by a crack writer from MSNBC - not even one of their own reporters - with an ax to grind, viz. "Lawrence O'Donnell, Jr. is an MSNBC Political Analyst and the author of Deadly Force: The True Story of How a Badge Can Become a License to Kill."

I give you an F for this work. Go sit down and think about what you've done.

I had a teacher like this in school.  I eventually irritated him to the point of being verbally abusive to me in the presence of the entire class and he was placed on probation.  Some people can be led to the precipice and eventually they just take the plunge into oblivion from their own inability to cope with a stressful situation.

It's often more satisfying to lead them to the edge and then nudge them over   

Even the people on the R/C and computer sites think he's an asshole, start at his second post down then read the reply below it

"Murder Threats and the First Amendment;

We can clear this dillema up in one second! While doing so, we will end hate speech! Here is the simple solution: Start a web site/ go on tv/radio. Say that W, Cheney, the 5 Supremes who appointed W , Beck, BillO and Rush are all traitors who should die. List their addresses and schedules. Use the same exact language anti-abortion nuts and right wing talk loonies use. Suddenly, instead of abortion doctors being targets, the right wing elite will be. Should take about a day for them to demand this terrorism be illegal. Compliant Dems, afraid-as always- to be called "soft on terror" , will immediatly change the law. Problem solved!"

This man is a Elementary School Science teacher in Boca Raton.  I thank God my kids are through the system already...

Not this cop.

Where has it been determined that he was illegally arresested, their actions illegal, and by what authority can YOU judge the cop's act illegal.

Oh I forgot that you are a science teacher that has graduated with the highest honors by cowtowing to the expected manner.  That must have been an extremely bitter pill to swallow for such a self rightous, narcissistic, elitist professor such as yourself.  I guess that gives you the self professed right to judge this cop and I as a simple man am simply at the bottom of the food chain and therfore count for nothing.

I may not articulate well and my spelling and grammer leave a lot to be desired but even a simple man, such as myself, can see that Gates  and bHo are racist and that you like my college biology professor are nothing more than a pompous ass.

It is greatly disturbing that others being taught, what ever kind of science you claim to teach, are being inflicted with your propagandistic liberal twattle.  Like the saying goes: If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.  An occupation in which you have shown to trully excel.

So the only response is the authors (whose legal view cannot be disputed) have the "wrong" political bent (of course even a broken clock is right twice a day so there goes that) OR this Gates guy is an ass and "deserved it" for not being properly respectful. He is a racist and "deserves it". Hmm, Y'all must be from a different America than the one with free speech and citizens not subjects. Y'know, those tories knew how to be respectful of the redcoats. Patriots didn't, wouldn't and won't.
PS: Yes, he is an azz and waiting to be treated unfairly.  So? That isn't SUPOSED to be illegal.
PSS: I have a fan club who follow me now searching -not for a logical or defensable argument- but for what they see as proof I have the "wrong" opinions. I even have some things that apparently claim to pop out when someone farts. Not sure why they want to claim to pop out like that, I guess it is common here??   I admit I really don't get that.
Sorry it is so short, but there was no substance presented to argue against.
Here, I'll save the replies, "He's a doo-doo."
Oh, and on the RC site a guy sent a letter to the school board and my school! Got a good laugh! T-E-N-U-R-E + union = just cause is required to even TALK to me about any silly azz little problems! I love my job! Especially as it drives the Lulu's crazy.
