anyone have a good link to this? The vid won’t play for me here.

I have blogged about this topic. There is a great deal of activity on Fox25

Here’s my response:

Someone give the Pres a Thesaurus
Important issue.

Racism.

Potential abuse of power.

Violation of police procedures?

SOLUTION?

Throw out court case so the facts won’t come out.

Governor defends ‘people like him’.

President uses the word ‘stupidly’.

Stupidly is the sort of adverb (I guess it’s an adverb – it does have an -ly at the end, right?) used by angry and petulant ten year old girls trying to act adult while they admonish their younger siblings.

The word is indicative of the man.

Law School Grad? Professor of Law?

Do lawyers use ‘stupidly’ in court? Is there a distinct definition of ‘stupidly’?

“You’re stupid!” is not Presidential.

WORSE!

Admitting he doesn’t know all the facts of the case the POTUS states on a National forum where our enemies and friends are listening that a cop in Cambridge acted ‘stupidly’.

I know five year olds with better word choice options.

So, Eric Holder, am I being a coward now? Was Gov. Patrick and the Mayor of Cambridge acting cowardly when they opened their big, ignorant mouths and had this case tossed before it could reach a court of law or is the rule of law subservient to political expediency and a vague accusations of something called ‘racism’?

I think the President acted stupidly. So there! Nyaah Nyaah…

GROW UP! Get a vocabulary. Use common sense.

Now, considering the President’s response last night, this is the response of a racist. yes, I watched the president’s response, on here. I refuse to watch him on television, he is the most deceptive person I have ever trained my 32 year instincts on reading.

The president’s response aligned himself with blacks who are racists and completely abandonned the police officer-and still doesn’t have all the facts. I cannot believe he or his aides did not touch upon current events before the conference. His response was deliberate and targetted.

I have many friends who are black and in deeply selfless service to this country. Not one differs from my take on this man, not one.

We are being surrendered for slaughter.

OHH HERE’S HIS E-MAIL, I FORGOT TO POST LAST TIME.

I have a feeling there are a lot of pissed off policemen in this country today.

Pissed off? No. This has been going on for at least two decades, this is just a sample. The public is not served well when people can maipulate the law and how it is applied, then rationalize deliberate behavior they consciously made a decision to express or display or deliver.

This is entirely about Gates, and his racist mindset is ferocious, that much is evident over and over since that day the police officer responded to what was eventually identified as the subject’s residence.

You MUST look at the the totality of the circumstances, including the FACT that this police officer has been abandonned by other supervisory sworn officers who are more interested in their positions and careers than one of their officers.

This officer has been denied due process and constitutional protections in a very egregious way, and even the alleged president of this country stabbed him in the back and exposed even his own racist mindset.

This entire affair is a blessing, actually because a lot of people are in the middle of being very embarassed right now because they showed their character at what they defended and they are all incorrect.

The only real man involved in this entire issue if this police officer, who I might add stereotypically is the normal officer working the street. Alone, abandonned and yet driven to serve and serve with honor.

If you notice he didn’t stop a second to save a black man’s life who would easily have been dead.

Have you ever done CPR? I have.

This Cop is being thrown under the Bus. there was no profiling going on. A 911 call clearly described the perps as being two black men breaking into the residence. Profiling would be if no description had been given and the cop arrested these men for burglary because they were the only blacks in the area. Gates , the egomaniac, refused to initially provide proper ID. He then was beligerent. As a 20 yr vet of a Major department, I can tell you that for gates’ safety and mine I would have Cuffed him & his associate Imeediately and Then ascertained his ID.

Aren’t Police Officers working patrol wired for sound?

There wouldn’t be video of the incident from the squad car tape, but wouldn’t there be audio on it?
