A P ^ | RUSSELL CONTRERAS

Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. says he is ready to move on from his arrest by a white police officer, hoping to use the encounter to improve fairness in the criminal justice system and saying "in the end, this is not about me at all."

a p.s. . . .'that said'; still just trying to figure out why this part of the story has not deserved a 'mention'. It is curious and IMHO; curiouser:

[Incident Report #9005127: I then asked Gates if he would like an officer to take possession of his house key and secure his front door, which he left wide open. Gates told me that the door was un securable due to a previous break attempt at the residence.

Crowley concludes: Shortly thereafter, a Harvard University maintenance person arrived on scene and appeared familiar with Gates. I asked Gates if he was comfortable with this Harvard University maintenance person securing his residence. He told me that he was.]

Gates told me that the door was un securable due to a previous break attempt at the residence.

Do I understand that to mean that Gates left and went
to China leaving Harvard's property unsecured.

... Gates, who in the days following his arrest gathered up his legal team and said he was contemplating a lawsuit.

Bring it on @$$hole.

That appears to be the case. Can speculate here as to different scenarios; but wonder why this has not been brought up; I mean; his apparent shock at 'police-at-door' think; when in fact; there had been a 'prior break' here. It just confirms again; that this Prof responded strangely and inappropriately. (And given that Sargent Crowley appeared not to know about it; was the 'prior attmept' reported; and 'if not; why not?)

If I were Officer Crowley I’d come back with “I’ll gladly meet with Dr. Gates privately to discuss what happens and I refuse to make this a public spectacle”

It’s a happy medium.

Agree and think Offcier Crowley could reasonably add; 'I'll bring my back Officers; you bring your Driver. . ,

Meantime; Obama is probably imagining a 'Peace prize' for this one. Or maybe Gates thinks he will get a 'Nobel' for his 'teaching moment' book, when it comes out.)

""in the end, this is not about me at all.""

WRONG!

It is ALL about you. YOU acted like a turd. YOU accused an honorable man of racism. YOU have not apologized for your distasteful actions.

It is not time to MOVE ON until you do apologize and admit YOU were wrong.

We want to hear the audio tapes. I bet you sound like such a 'scholar'. I hope you do sue the cop and i hope the audio tape allows him to counter-sue YOU for defamation.

Sorry Professor Gates, but you don't qualify for:

Maybe AFTER you and Obama suffer the consequences of your race baiting attempts in this instance, but not UNTIL. We also want to hear the audio of your racist taunts and provocations.
