This is a case of police abusing their power. Judge Napolitano explaining the law, AC360 with the 911 and dispatch recordings and Bill Maher telling it like it is (can’t stand him but he’s right on this one). Crowley should be fired and charged with unlawful entry, harassment, false arrest and violating Gates rights. We need to push for police reform and abolish the disorderly conduct charge from the books. This blanket charge gives the police the power of punishment over people they disagree with or simply don’t like. We have the right in this country to express our opinion and that includes telling a cop that we think he is a stupid Ñ•Ò»it without fear of being arrested. Almost every time their is a charge of disorderly conduct here in America the charge is dropped. This is simply a blanket charge that police use when they can’t find you’ve committed a crime. This gives the police too much power. They know the charges will be dropped. Their intention is to punish you for not showing them the respect they think they deserve just for being a cop or insulting them. The demeaning act of being handcuffed, the humiliation of being escorted by the police in front of your neighbors to a cage in the back of a police car. And there is the trauma of being fingerprinted, getting a mugshot taken, sitting in a holding cell for hours with real criminals and having a permanent arrest record. All of this is your punishment for telling a cop what you really feel.
thema86, read Kenyan newspapers (Dec 07-Feb 08) or the book ObamaNation. People like you are uninformed about Obama’s past, & apparently don’t think any of it really matters.
This isn’t a game. If Obama’s Islamic agenda isn’t becoming clear to you, then you are woefully uninformed about global events or deep into denial.
you need to stop reading such books and look at the facts. fact No1:he spent 20 years in a Christian church, thats almost all his adult life. factNo2: he’s been 2 Kenyan less than a handful of times fact No3: you just hate the guy so u believe anything bad said about him. i bet u even believe hes not an american
themba86, Wright’s church is black liberation theology… anti-US, anti-white, black nationalism, black supremacy. Obama calls himself christian because followers of BLT believe theirs is the true christianity. Read up on it.
You are uninformed about Obama’s past, & don’t know if he’s American or not because he refuses to provide a birth certificate to show who he really is. Several people in Kenya claim he was born there. Believe what you want… sleep on.
the problem with your argument is its not base on fact but its based on hate and fair. anyone can claim he was born in Kenya but there is no evidence for that. just like there isnt any evidence to your clam that obama “want to kill Christians”. But there is evidence of him being born in the USA, and u refuse to see it. u would rather believe sum baseless claim made by people you have never seen in a country u have probably never been in. give me facts not claims
themba86, there is no proof that Obama was born in HI. In the past, foreigners easily obtained COLBs in HI, as well as birth announcements in newspapers. This is a well-known scam used by Africans for decades to claim citizenship, & especially WELFARE & other benefits.
I didn’t say Obama ‘wanted’ to kill Christians, it’s worse than that… he was actually involved in the killing over a thousand Christians in Kenya last year… see Kenyan newspapers from then. Obama isn’t fooling anyone in Kenya.
there is proof but its not good enough for u nothing is. obama “was actually involved in the killing over a thousand Christians in Kenya last year”. listen to your self man. how can you prove that, especially when everyone was watching obama run for president last year and the year before. i dont know why you buy in to this staff because you seem like a bruit person. i only ask you to look at the facts and give the guy a chance.
themba86, do some research, mine is extensive. I stand by my post. It doesn’t sound like you know what is going on in the world, especially on the part of our corrupt politicians… like Clinton with 29 foreign bank accounts & offices. But wait, using your reasoning, Clinton can’t be involved with terrorists worldwide because he just ‘rescued’ two gals from North Korea.
The sheeples are clueless.
Give Obama a chance? Honestly, where is your head at? Get informed.
i tried but it seems like you r drowning in a pool of depression because obama is president. you should just come out and say u hate the guy instead of lying to your self or using
lying to your self by taking baseless clams or drivel as fact. the truth is you r so into this lift v right thing that u can not think for your self. if the right says hate obama you will jump like a dog on a bone and thats wots wrong with america today. a smart person like you should always look at the facts not clams facts.
themba86, in answer to your 2 comments…
I don’t like Obama. He is a deceiver on a global scale who depends upon the uninformed & incredulous sorts like yourself in order to pull off his deceptions.
My posts are solid, based upon years of research.
You accuse others of depression, lies, baseless claims, left/right thinking & jumping like a dog, when it’s you who conjures these ideas up & projects them onto others using mindless rhetoric. There wasn’t a single fact from you in your posts. Sad.
here is a fact for you Obama is president so deal with it. the truth is you are incapable of objectivity because you r blinded by hate and fair. no mater what u will hate obama, and the fact is your facts are lies. obama “was actually involved in the killing over a thousand Christians in Kenya last year”. so obama was running for President and killing Kenyans at the same time lol, the thing thats more funny is you then call it fact lmao. “Years of research” and thats wot u come up with lol…
themba86, here is a fact for you. Obama is a usurper, a deceiver who is hiding who & what he really is, and sheeples like you through laziness & poor thinking continue to buy into his bs. You ask, Obama was running for Pres & killing Kenyans at the same time? Yes. There is no lol about it. And much of the rest of his past you would also find unbelievable. Obama & Kenya… the truth which is why I can post it… & astonishingly evil which is why people like you don’t believe it. He knows it.
you do know that most of the people who attend that church are white right?
you do know the clintons are good friends with wright as well.
all this talk about race is bullshit and just a distraction. obama was not born in this country and they are gonna admit this when he is out of office. just so they can make an amendment to make that nazi arnold shwartznegger president and thats when shit is a wrap
this whole thing reminds me of a dave chapelle bit. from killing me softly
dedseason, Clinton has 29 offices & bank accounts worldwide, & he is tight with Africans, and heavily invested in African and Middle Eastern countries?… just like a lot of other of our corrupt politicians.
You’re comment on race is right.
Who gives a fuck about this shit? All the news media does is cover stupid bullshit stories to try to divide our nation. They want blacks, whites and hispanics against each other, because divided we fall. Wake up people. We need to organize together and take back OUR country. Power to the people of all races.
interesting point about shwartznegger… haha but I don’t believe for a second that that dude will EVER be President…that shit won’t fly..
Regardless of all of our differences, the only real issue is that we stand UNITED FOR FREEDOM. Nothing else really matters without freedom.
Where is the birth certificate?
testing
robertfreed, this is the smartest comment on this page.
i hate fox news.
What difference does it make if Lucia Whalen said she thought the men that she believed were breaking into the house were black? If they are black, that is what she needs to tell the dispatcher! If I see a black guy that is robbing an elderly couple at gunpoint, am I now not supposed to give that information to 911 so I don’t look racist later? Professor Gates is FAR from what I would call a “distinguished” professor or a class act. He acted immature and provocative towards the cop and this
what resulted in his arrest. You can not win in a pissing contest against the cops. It does not matter what your status is. Gates is either very stupid or he wanted to create a situation so that he could have a forum from which he could speak about this matter later. There is no “racial profiling” (which I feel is a myth anyway) in this instance because the police were responding to a call that they had received.
cops will lie make up what ever they can.. we have no rights against cops… i fear them. every time i see a cop i freak out.. i dont feel safe around them…
