  • Hey everyone a nigger stole five dollars from me today at a gas station. I laid it up there and tried to pay for my gas and she grabbed it and walked her fat black ass out!!! she knew that nobody would stop her because its racist!!! Stop that nigger from stealing my money

  • Warmonger747: Double standards my ass. Stupid cops who are ill-equipped to analyze any situation rationally when it comes to black americans

  • then who is equipped?

  • I understand the need of a police service in our society, but it seems that many officers act differently when minorities are involved. Not all cops, of course, there are some good police officers. The ones involved in this situation are ill-equipped though.

  • included the black officer as well?

  • @hint0122 "the black officer as well"? All the officers involved in this incident are at fault, why would i exempt black or minority officers?

  • how was it is fault? what did the black cop do wrong? do u think grates did anything wrong?

  • @hint0122 The fault lies with the officers who chose to arrest or allowed Gates to be arrested. I do not think that Gates did anything that warranted his arrest. In this particular situation the fault or misunderstanding lies solely with the police officers and not the Harvard Professor who was in his own house

  •  he was being a dick to a cop, which is a very quick way to get arrested/ he should have said nothing.

  • it must really be hard being a cop today,blacks today want treated with kid gloves.

  • I wouldnt have dropped shit..Typical nigger..mouth off to a cop get arrested and turn in Al Sharpton lol typical.Hes not aal so friggin smart is he..should get charged and stay charged

  • You can't be arrested for disorderly conduct while on your property, that doesn't make any sense.

  • He is a Professor you racist motherfucker.

  • of course NOW we talk about this shit are you serious this shits been happenig for years

    Mr Gates honestly was outraged because he thought he'd be somewhere in this white man's world and not realize to them he was another nigga just like the rest of us

    Crowley honestly can't undrestand this, being a white cop anyway let alone a white man

  • we're all aware of the sickening double standards on race in america... yet nobody talks about it... I mean, assuming something short of total idiocy, how can anyone say that blacks are "held down" or "opressed" anymore? Especially compared to whites!

    Do this exercise: in any supposedly racist episode: SWITCH THE RACES around: try and imagine what would happen if the races where inverted... and see how deep the double standard is... it'll astonish you.

  • I suspect that this was a just a setup/publicity stunt for his upcoming documentary.

    he must have thought to himself "hey what if I break in to my own house and then act belligerent towards the officers... maybe they'll arrest me and i'll be able to wail about racism and publicize my next film"..

  • What a bunch of shit! Sotomayor, Reverend Wright, Robert Reich, and now Gates interesting group Obama supports. None of these people of course are racist, because they only discriminate against whites.

  • I am so sick of hearing people blame race, when more often it's usually about class or even more, about attitude.

    If Cowley had shown up at the house & Colin Powell were there, Powell would've just done as he was ordered to do, and made a stink about it after if he felt the cop was inappropriate. Why? Because normal people understand you don't scream at cops who are investigating something.

    Gates should've chosen "due process" over "vigilante justice", IF the cop really did something wrong.

  • Who cares, the professor just going to end up making money selling his book.

  • Some police superior heads ought to roll. This case is one of police misconduct; once Officer Crowley knew who Mr. Gates is, time to back off. Superiority complex and racism kicked in: Forget the obvious push your weight. Mr. Gates had reason to be angry. The unreasonable detention ought to be prosecuted; suspension is in order; and civilly, a false imprisonment cause of action should filed to make the city pay punitive damages. Make them remember; some police ought not to have the authority.

  • would you back off if someone was being a dick to you? why didnt he just shut up and not say anything?

  • Is it just me (and crowley), or does Gates looks like a gang banger?

  • just when race relations start to settle obama stokes the coals and pours gas onto the fire. what a racist divider is obama and gates. racist, elitist pigs. they talk middle class and down trodden all the time yet live in beautiful homes with 6 and 7 figure incomes. you white liberals who vocally support and financially fund all this hatred will soon have your hands bitten by the pigs you feed. you are expendable white trash to obama.

  • Race relations were never settled. Bigoted whites like Rush Limbaugh (whom I am sure you are a fan of) set out to destroy Obama as soon as he won the presidency.

    You hatred of Obama has hit full tilt because you see your 233 white supremist society crumbling before your wicked eyes, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

  • typical... so original... i'm sure the professor was 100% cooperative and the cop just wanted to lock somebody up. especially for disorderly conduct. i'm also pretty sure that the cop is a racist as his record indicates his a highly decorated officer who has worked in the community for a long time. it's always the cop's fault. and it's always because of racism. so what else is new??

  • Comment removed

  • I heard Gates provided drugs to Michael Jackson

  • It's sad that this had to happen to a respectable black man, but saying that the officer is a racist is crazy. Everyday officers have to deal with irate citizens and act appropriately. The officer was just reacting to a loud and irate citizen that wouldn't calm down. I listened to Henry Gates's audio of the incident and heard no mention of the officer acting like a racist. It was just another black man using the race card just to get his way. Racism will never die if we are this sensitive.

  • lol.. 'loud' and 'irate'? yet, being hassled on your own property? poor officers, Guess what? Its their job!! Whites use the reverse racism card,

  • Gates was not cleared.

    The black mayor pressured the pd to drop the charges.

    Gates was not arrested in his home, the was arrested outside where he followed the SGt to scream insults at him.

    They are going to release the tapes soon.

    Gates needs to apologize to Crowley now

  • what proof the mayor pressured the pd to drop charges? Gates was arrested outside where he followed the officer demanding to identify himself! Crowley should be fired!!

  • goes to show, you can put a black man in an upscale neighbourhood but the mind will remain in the ghetto

  • your an idiot

  • goes to show ya bro, you"re

  • Lame just lame

  • The police officer was baited. Pulling the race card is typical of the Obama crowd. The professore pulled the race card and so did Obama. It can never be about the offense. It must be about skin color. I am appalled!

  • that's so typical

  • This Harvard officer was acting out and wanted attention from media using race issue that was never there to begin with. Police officer took all the right action and acted accordingly.

  • Agree with OUTLAWZ.

    Race isn't a factor here. The attitude and aggression of cops are factors, however. They would've done this to anyone, white, black or even yellow.

  • In my book racism isn't about color of your skin anymore, is about how much money do you weather which always been for so many years, that is REAL RACISM. Imaging if that was less fortunate person, would you think the police would drop the case. FUCK NO. and I'm glad it happened the prof. Gate so he could expose this to public shad some light.

  • I dont like, trust or need cops! The police are generally not out for the good of the community at large but arrive like bad news to posture as heros yet serve their own interests. I can remember them bringing drugs into my community in the 70s, taking bribes in the eighties, attacking and killing citizens in the 90s and now arresting (many) people on their own door steps and its 2009 (this has happened to others).

  • I agree..

  • A culture that promotes "lawlessness" generally will fight attempts to introduce structure and law. Just look at the nation of Africa today. You have pirates hijacking ships that are carrying aid for THEIR people. Makes sense that you would put DOWN the police in this country.

  • Africa doesn't have a homogenous culture and it is not a nation, rather a continent. Get your facts straight miss ignorance

  • Is Africa a culture or continent? Your '' true colors are showing. Do you feel better?

  • Plausibility structure? Unfortunately in this "pluralistic society" the 'majority" often tendencies exerting denomination: PROFILING, in its subconscious motive often Under ' structure and law". Introduce? such as segregation? slavery? denial of voting rights? congregating, the determination 'gang'? Hmm.. You mean a "culture' that promotes spreading abroad its internal ideal of democracy "forcefully"?Yet, subjecting a currency agenda? No Surprise, you would put UP the police in this country.

  • Those Pirates are simply ordinary Somolians who are making european ships pay a toll for dumping all their chemical and biological waste off their coast.

    And the police are simply insecure bullies who use their powers to harrass and frame innocent people. Of course you support the police because you believe they are all white bigots like yourself.

  • Comment removed

  • Gates never broke the law. Period. Whites who defend this officer are devils. case close.

  • Cambridge is a rather racist place from my experience. I am just glad the cop did not shoot him as NYPD often does in these matters. 

    How come the issue was not dropped once the ID and license was provided? The cops could have asked campus security since the university owns the home.

    I think the Cambridge Police Dept needs to review the way they conduct themselves. As for Gates he should have remained calm in his home.

  • Gates is a racist - and an attention whore.

  • This less about racism but more about an abuse of police powers. Professor Gates was clearly not dangerous and he did commit any crime. Arresting law-abiding citizens is clearly unlawful and unconstitutional.

  • Officer Cowardly should be really proud of himself for arresting an elderly black man. I don't see how this is protecting and serving America. So what if he was upset. That's not a crime.

  • Once again, if youre black, curse police, get arrested for this conduct, and cry racism afterwards, you get off scott free. If he were white, he'd still be in jail. Now thats Racist! Blacks get away with everything

  • Keep playing the reverse racism card!!!! WHItes HAVE gotten away with anarchy and tyranny for decades and centuries.. Killed off the native Americans, kill for oil, spreading your ideal of democracy abroad forcefully,internal corruption in the branches of government, inciting crime, segregation, hate crimes,manipulation to exert control... Whites get away with everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now you finally exposed your "true" colors. Do you feel better?

  • hope you feel better now that you've shown how "truly" ignorant you are.

  • Hmm.. First, I wasnt responding to you. Second It was in response to those who pass the deck out, and then blame those who pick it..

  • I hope we hear the audiotape of the incident or from passers by. It appears that Prof. Gates was "baiting" this officer in an attempt to create material for a lecture, book or movie. How sad is it that a very educated black man can steep down to this level and convince the President of the US to stoop with him.

  • Great insight, is it necessary to acknowledge his skin color to revert his 'education' ? Why couldnt you state: a very educated man?hmm..

  • house. The officer asked the man to come outside for his safty.

    In his house this officer was justified in EVERYTHING HE DID. The professor ows an apology

  • First, If you were a suspect, AND A OFFICER FOLLOWED you inside your house and then you provided "proof" of residency to end suspicion, An officer will not ask you to come outside for your safety!!! Second, If he failed to provide proof, why werent burgulary charges added?? Third why did the officer refused to comply upon request by gates to identify himself?? fourth, if gates commited foul play, then why the dismissal of the charge?? The cop should be fired!

  • I totally agree...

  • 1: What you said did not happen in this case.

    2: He did provide proof ONLY after being beligerent with the officer AND was outside by then.The officer wanted him outside because he was called about a robbery IN PROGRESS, 2 men.All the officer knew was there was a robery going on w/2 people, he has a BELIGERENT man in the house.The officer is alone.He asks him to go outside FOR THE OFFICERS SAFTY.The man becomes enraged,NOT having proven that he is the resident.

    3: False

    4: Lawyers.

  • first, where were the two suspects? Two, If asked for Id, and gates refused the officer wouldve arrested him immediately.. For Suspicion.. Where are the charges for failure to compliance to an safety officer?

  • Beligerent? In not understanding, incoherent? The officer didnt add any charges in contrast with his police report

  • read the police report

  • Yes, because the police never tell lies....

  • I read the police report.. Its contradiction.

  • Prof. Gates admitted he played the race card first. Then President Obama called and raised his play...on national TV. Don't call out Superfly Cracker for saying "educated BLACK" when the game was already underway. Call a spade a spade and you'll get further in your debate.

  • hmm.. Im assuming your handling the deck of cards?

  • what was the race of the neighbor that called  white racial profiling

  • did gates even try to explain it was his house? or did he get all uppity and started accusing the cop of being racist? i imagine it was the second. i would have arrested him too.

  • Is it true that Gates was yelling "yo mama" at the officer?

  • dumb nig

  • I'm sick and tired of SOME black people crying racism all the time over everything, its not our fault most crimes are commited by moniroties. tired of it, dont need it. they have alot more opportunities in education and workplace because of their skin color, i dont see them cryng over affirmative action. this professor sound like an asshole to begin with anyways. if he said the words YO MOMMA to me not only i would cuff him I would batter him unrecognizable.

  • Jacksureshot

    Can you proof that professor Gate cried racism beside the news media and I wonder why?!!! and can you explain why would someone get arrest on them own home? and keep in mind if you can't handle verbal abuse especially on them own house, then being cop isn't your job. I'm not saying that professor Gate did so, highly unlikely he would abuse someone for doing them job. but cop this days have too much power.

  • Wrong.

    This officer is highly respected, helps teach the new officers about race relations (after being REQUESTED to do so by a black officer).

    When called to a crime in progress the officer has to maintain complete control, be highly suspicious of ANYONE, until the situation is completly resolved. The "professor" initially refused to cooperate with the officer, and in fact was beligerant. When the cops show up YOU DO WHAT THE COPS SAY IMEDIATLY NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Then get his badge #.

  • dr servitus

    you said (YOU DO WHAT THE COPS SAY IMEDIATLY NO QUESTIONS ASKED)

    WORD.......... So if police officer told you sick his DICK would do so. from you comment I believe so, but don't expect other would follow foot step. question someone about you right isn't crime last time checked.

  • That is rediculous OutlawzAK ( But it IS obvious that you have repressed homosexual tendancies. Hey dude, it is ok come out of the closet)

  • In your own home?

  • The officer was responding to a report of a robbery in progress.When he saw a man in the house he identified himself as a police officer who was called to investigate a break-in in progress, and then asked the man to identify himself.This man then responded by yelling at the officer that this was because he was black and the officer was white.He asked him REPEATEDLY to identify himself and the man refused, began to become abusive. The officer knew there was a report of 2 people in the (continue)

  • The man then complied with proof of residency as well as a school Id.. The officer became abusive.. Gates demanded the officer to identify himself, the officer refused..

  • Now he wants to make a documentary on racial profiling. Excuse me!!! This was done on purpose?. Hope it will raise you some millions Prof. Gates. There is not enough gees in the academic career anyways. After teaching for 25 years you don't even earn enough to buy you a ncie house. I want to be a star damn it! Africans are greedy!

  • Adiaba

    what do you meant by africans?

  • Gates should rather apologize. if you aoplogize it will be a disgrace to the police force. I amy never consoder beeing a police officer anymore if this is how I will be treated. You are young and please keep up the good work.

  • I am quite sure he has been anticipating an opportunity to spit out his mind to an officer because a brother is the president. let us respect these guys who risk their lives everyday for us. As a professor the only risk you have is to boiled down to a car accident but officers have to face the guns day in day out. Africans are born like that, always trying to use their positions and connections to show off. Mr officer please be a man and apologize to no one.

  • Just because you are prominent in society and a friend to the president, you don't have to disobey a police officer. How would they know it is his home if he refuses to show his ID and through comments on an officer. In front of law officials we have the right to remain silent. Someone made a call trying to help out cos they observed forced entry into the home. I think gates was rather beeing racist here.

  • How so? Does the police officer have the right to walk in your house with out any issuance of a warrant? After compling with proof of residency,the police officer has then the right to refuse to identify himself? Gates was beeing an American citzen demanding his rights.

  • How about making a documentary about blacks breaking into houses on the block and why they need to do that?

  • This was not about racism., This was a Burglary in Progress call ( where an officer life in most likely to be taken at any moment responding to such calls). If the the police had not responded to that call and Gates home was Burglarized, people would have cried racism. Mr. Gates, the police were not reponding to your home because you were black. Mr. Gates assumed he should not be questioned by the police because "he was a Havard Professor with friends in high places". I'm a black male.

  • COPS are out of CONTROL!.......

    and wasn't the arresting officer black?

    How is that racist?

    The problem is COPS have too much of a POWER TRIP on ALL of us whether Black or White....

  • That racist pig HS drop out officer should be in Jail now.

  • Gates mishandled the situation.

    1st he should have stayed inside but by the door in view of potential witnesses.

    2nd he should have quietly shown his ID, then warmly thanked the policeman for his diligence, shaked his hand and say goodbye as if clueless.

    If the policeman was just doing his job, he would have left pleased.

    If he was being racist, he'd have left livid.

    Either way a win win situation for Gates. Instead he is being portrayed as a bozo and his documentary is gonna flop.

  • Crowley is a thug. Ask anyone on the force (off the record) and they will tell you this guy thinks he is god. y He is a bully to the point of needing serious medical help and for the city to allow him to carry a gun is without question INEXCUSABLE!

    Every cop ehich shows signs of "power trips" and "bullying" should be out of job period. They may have dropped the charges, but they won't be able to drop the lawsuit. Crowley is a liability. I should know, I used to work with him.

  • He should have been glad about the quick response of the police after a tip. Instead, he says the cops are racist because he was trying to break into his home. Wow, now he wants to make a movie about race. How about making a movie about responding to law enforcement when asked to do so? No, you won't see that - that would be the facts. Instead it is easier to simply throw out the race card and see who bites. Can't wait to see sharpton and jackson there in the coming days.

  • this is just police being police... I don't understand why people always try to make it a race issue

  • because white cock sucker got little penis and always pissed when they see a real man

  • thats a real educated comment. I'm sure your making your people proud

  • If a real robber now tries to break into his house the neighbor will not even bother calling the police. You want neighbors that are looking out for stuff like that. Sounds like a misunderstanding and a hot headed professor.

  • If the neighbour was looking for stuff like that, she would have known who the occupant of the house was.

    Heaven protects you from well intended people, they pave you a direct path to Hell.

  • Not necessarily. The time of day could play a roll in this case. I know of no person who will pave my way to hell.

  • "VisionQuest2012 Not necessarily. The time of day could play a roll in this case."

    What I meant is if you look out for your neighbors I assume you generally know those who live within your eyesight and can recognize them. Well some people do, I do.

  • Your right. I realize this was during the day. The neighbor should have known who it was unless they have terrible eyesight. One thing I will mention and that is the professor was not in a good mood. If you have ever locked your keys in your own home then you know that pissed off feeling. I really do think race is a factor in this case. Just two ego's going head to head.

  • I ment to say, "Do not" with regard to race being a factor.

  • NO race wasn't factor, but pride and ego was factor when it comes to police........ try question a any police officer his/her judgment or the badge number or supervisor, and I guarantee they gonna slap it with hand cuffs on you, some case if poor person or thug look like might get some ass whupping because you not supposed know you right.

  • how did you know he was hot headed professor? let assumed that for minute is true what you saying......would that give the police right to arrest him on his own home?

  • On Nov 6, 2008, Citizens for feasible compliance met with Police Commissioner robert Haas, and a rep from the Mayor's office, at police headquarters. One of the items on the agenda was Sgt Crowley's behavior, specifically his use of threats of false arrest to intimidate people in violation of their civil rights.

    People do not serve the police, the police serve the people. Sgt crowley likes to threten the use of force to intimidate people; the City needs to put an end to this.

  • He said something specifically about 9/11? I thought he was an African-American studies Professor.

  • The professor must file lawsuits against the insensitive cops and their superiors for false arrest without a thorough investigation.

  • Gates is an ass & a crybaby.

  • Just look at the picture of Gates in cuffs. He was clearly out of control. I doubt the cops wanted to book him, knowing all the trouble it would cause. They simply had no other option but to arrest the Harvard Prof turned wild man who was screaming abuse at them.

  • Great script.
