Officer: "There will be no Apology"

[Caine]

This whole agrument is really silly...yes the cop was right up too a point then he was wrong and should apologize for it...

Just for agrument sake let's say for instance Karl Rove pulled up too his house and was attempting to get in and a neighbor reported suspicious activity. A black cop shows up at the scene and Rove is handcuffed. After producing a ID that clearly shows that it is his residence he demands to black cops badge number and get angry at the black cop arrests Rove.

Your scenario isn't exactly in line with the reality of this situation either. You forgot that the police officer arrested Gates after Gates came outside acting a fool shouting about racism for the whole neighborhood to hear and was warned to tone it down.

This has NOTHING to do with the IDentification and EVERYTHING to do with the yelling screaming and acting like a child.

Personally I do not think this scenerio would have been allow to escalate to the point of Rove being arrested...because he's the white majority.

He would have been released and Gates should have been released.

Gates was free not to come outside and yell like a fool. He did it. He was free to stop when warned. He didn't. He was acting disorderly for everyone in the neighborhood to hear and was arrested for such.

Would the Black cop have to apologize to Rove for such a error?
Hell yes he would.
Would the black cop get any respect from the white population of this country as this white cop is getting....no I don't think so.

WTF is this supposed to mean? There was no error to apologize for. Out of normal courtesy an officer is going to apologize after having responded to that call and determining that the person they were with was the home owner, that is unless the person was being an asshole from the start, then I will never apologize for doing my job when they just made doing that job more difficult 'because its my right'. People like that need to grow the **** up.

Open your eyes people there is a double standard here. The poor white cop is getting disrespected and the white population demands respect. Even though he was clearly wrong...that is the point.

It has nothing to do with white versus black. There are plenty of people in the 'black population' who have a god damned head on thier shoulders that have admitted that the guy is acting like a fool and the cop was right. Of course, don't let that reality get in the way of a good ole fashioned "Im black and im a victim" bitchfest.

That is what this is about. That and using it as a diversion yet again to keep from talking about what's really important for our country.

And what is that? Keeping black people put in a "im a victim" mentality? Grow up.


[quote}The whole issue is silly and Gates is lucky the cop didn't shoot him for talking about his mom....[/quote]Now you are just being childish. Grow up.

It is clearly about race...no white cop should ever apologize to a blackman no matter how wrong the white cop was but turn it around and you better beleive that the Black cop damb well better apologize.

Again, has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with a fool giving the cops a hard time 'because I can'. People like that, and apparently you as well, need to grow the **** up.

It is not against the law for a proven homeowner to come out on his porch and question, yell at or ask for the Badge number of a over zealous cop.

He was not threatening the cop or anybody else with physical harm...he just hurt the white cops little feelings...that is not breaking the law.

That is not against the law...it is an excuse for the white cop to act beyond his authority.

The dude was wrong and needs to apologize..unless he thinks he is to white to apologize to a black man?

 

[goldendog]

This reminds me of a funny...

"I'm sorry Mr. Vice President my face got in front of your shotgun."

 

[formerroadie]

I think the cop was a douchebag. He should apologize.

It is not against the law for a proven homeowner to come out on his porch and question, yell at or ask for the Badge number of a over zealous cop.

And he was over zealous how exactly up to that point? By doing his job? By daring to ask the scholarly black man for ID after receiving a report of a break in at the house? Please. Grow up.

He was not threatening the cop or anybody else with physical harm...he just hurt the white cops little feelings...that is not breaking the law.

No feelings were hurt, he was yelling the same crap over and over and being loud to draw attention and alert the public. He was warned several times that he was acting disorderly, but the "i don't give a ****" attitude kicked in, and there you have it.

That is not against the law...it is an excuse for the white cop to act beyond his authority.

It is against the law, according to any state with a disorderly conduct statute

The dude was wrong and needs to apologize..unless he thinks he is to white to apologize to a black man?

Again with the idiocy. Grow up.


Im starting to believe nothing you post is serious, and that you are nothing more than a troll.

If Rove acted like a race baiter and was arrested for disorderly conduct, it would have been equally deserved.

The perfect coda to this reverse police scandal.

RealClearPolitics - On Race, 'No, He Can't'

The problem for the White House was the more the esteemed professor talked, the more trouble he created for his friend, the president. The clever photo-op sans audio was crafted to yank the director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research off the stage, lest anyone begin to question what is being taught at Harvard these days.

Conversely, the more Sgt. Crowley weighed in, and his brave black co-workers spoke out, the more obvious it became that a national discussion featuring this cast of characters may not end with the results the professor and the president wanted.

The status quo was at risk, and Mr. Obama used his extraordinary powers to protect it.

RealClearPolitics - On Race, 'No, He Can't'

But, since the conversation isn't working the way Gates and Obama would have like to have seen it, instead CNN has decided to back up Obama by creating non stop "Poor Poor Black me" segments on TV to remind us all that we are still all a bunch of racists even if we voted in a black man to the highest office in our government.

The cop did nothing wrong.

Just for agrument sake let's say for instance Karl Rove pulled up too his house and was attempting to get in and a neighbor reported suspicious activity. A black cop shows up at the scene and Rove is handcuffed.

That is not how Gate's situation happened. The cop did not show up and bust gates for no reason. Gates acted very disorderly and he was warned multiple times to stop, Gates refused and therefore was arrested.

After producing a ID that clearly shows that it is his residence he demands to black cops badge number and get angry at the black cop arrests Rove.

If Rove behaved in the same manner as Gates then yes he should have been arrested and the cop not apologize for anything.

Personally I do not think this scenerio would have been allow to escalate to the point of Rove being arrested...because he's the white majority.

Of course the scenario wouldn't have happened. Rove would have had more sense,Rove wouldn't have played the race card and act like a belligerent stuck up snob acting disorderly.Mostly because he knows the media would have a feild day with him the headlines would read "CARL ROVE HAS NO RESPECT FOR BLACK POLICE OFFICERS".

Would the Black cop have to apologize to Rove for such a error?

If Rove acted in the same manner as Gates then there was no error on the cop's part and nothing for the cop to apologize for.

Would the black cop get any respect from the white population of this country as this white cop is getting....no I don't think so.

If Rove was to behaved in the same manner as Gates and was arrested by a black cop, the black cop would have everyone's respect regardless of race.

Open your eyes people there is a double standard here.

Only in your mind there is a double standard. The cop's race is irrelevent and Gate's race is irrelevent.

The poor white cop is getting disrespected and the white population demands respect.

Only in your mind that has happened.

Even though he was clearly wrong...that is the point.

How was the cop wrong? Did the cop go "oh look its one of them thar darkeys,he must be guilty of something just look at the color of his skin"? and just arrest him for no reason other than skin color.

The whole issue is silly and Gates is lucky the cop didn't shoot him for talking about his mom....

Gates is lucky the university doesn't mind have belligerent stuck up snobbish race card playing assholes on their staff.

It is clearly about race...no white cop should ever apologize to a blackman no matter how wrong the white cop was but turn it around and you better beleive that the Black cop damb well better apologize.

You should grow up and quit trying to find racism where there is none. If anyone is racist it is the people trying to play the race card and make this situation into something that isn't.

I don't know why Crowley accepted the invitation in the first place. I wouldn't have.

Free beer.

 

[Morality Games]

... it seems like everybody in the world has serious psychological problems.

 

[JW Frogen]

Free beer.

Yes, but it says something about Crowly he expected free watermelon and fried chicken to be served with it.
