Audio: Sgt. James Crowley: "I Have Nothing To Apologize For"

[StoogeWatcher]

No surprise that the liberals played the race card.

[Tubetopfan1]

Whether the officer was right or wrong is up to the local authorities and community to determine. Barack had no business abusing his power and influence in this matter. Playing the armchair quarterback in local concerns is not what we elected him to do.

[peopleplz]

he has nothing to apologize for

[hockeyfanredwings]

no, crowley did a good job. the guy, the nigger, was out of line. I think the department needs to explain what procedures crowley followed to show it was by the book.

[zulu368]

this is 4BICCHI: I don't know who the fuck you think you are but I think you dumbass and ignorant with the comment you lefted; I think you need to take you dumbass to school to learn more becasue you bout to lose your lil brain with this stereotype stuff.

this goes out to also all the prejedice mothafuckas in here.

[ChimpBama]

"As always, WHITEY now sits in judgment of me.."

What I find disturbing is Obama's friendship with this guy.

Imagine if a White professor said:

"As always, DARKIES now sits in judgment of me.."

I'd bet the "intellectuals", the "progressives" and the blacks would have a problem with this guy being a friend of a sitting president AND being a college professor.

What say you Blacks & Libs - have a problem w/ a white professor saying DARKIE?

[settings99]

This is old, everyone get over it. Some blacks use the race card with no shame. Some cops are actaully racist. Move on and stop popping the vains in your neck about this story. As for the people who are calling blacks "niggers" on here. You embarass me as a white man. Please go back to your room and worship that Hitler poster you have up.

[tomcatpak]

This guy Crowley looks like a jerk.

Why do jerks become police?

[JimmyeDallas]

So they can get their other jerk buddies out of the drunk tank whenever their in trouble.

[CircusMaximus09]

Why do assholes become professors under the affirmative action?

[theaccfan]

He doesn't have anything 2 be sorry for, gates is looney.

[JimmyeDallas]

You cant arrest someone for yelling at you or insulting you. This guy abused his arresting power, bottom line.

[danetrain0101]

No, but you can arrest someone who is hindering a investigation.

[4BICCHI]

The Cop wasn't Racist -I think Barak and "Henry Louis Gates" both was racist , Because how the you guys supporting a thieve Professor who trying to break in ?

[zulu368]

why da fuk they delete my comment, do I have to support dat bitch ass cop...or I gotta be a white boy?

[4BICCHI]

One word for you Shut The Fuck Off, You Black people are too much, You Black people can do all kind of shit Robbing , hijacking Killing Raping ,drug that time is nothing ,when a Good Cop trying to save some one else house and arresting that bitch ass liar professor now you call Racist

[liltrina4]

wow..... your whats wrong with this world. you are so closed minded. do not stereotype a race of people by few people action. you would not like if i said you must me a serial murder because you are white.

[OcultOprah]

...Gampie is another in a long line of lefty loony LEGOS of Obamas! Gates,Wright,Farra=CON,Rambo,O­prah all fit together like kooks and fools until some of these loons followers ~switch over~ to FOX news and turn off the = MSLSD station and watch the actual FACTS about the case and the economy - then it will be a short slide to the polling booth to give this FACTLESS PrezCZAR Das BOOT! As soon as possilbe!NOW eveyone MAN UP and call your Congressmen and Senators and STOP THE INSANITY! = Please!

[DonaldDoggett]

obama and gates are racist assholes- gates, if he had any brains should have showed Crawley his ID, thanked him for watching his house and invited him in for coffee or dinner to express his thankfullness!!!

[titletownAKAboston]

BlueMountains, Yes, the cops knew it was Gates home. They also knew that someone was forcing the front door open, They didn't know it was Gates who forced the door open. They asked Gates to step outside for his own safety. They didn't know if someone was in the house threatening Gates.

[infadell101]

if you ever got pulled over by one of these massholes you'd know not to fuck with them .another idiot teacher in mass.harvard sucks

[ford2M]

Let's hear the audio tape and then form an opinion.

[chewbaca1989]

Nanny cop mentality, hell you should be able to be belligerent to a cop in your own house.

[tomcatpak]

Man, this guy has no decency.

If I were him, even if I felt like I did everything right, I would still apologize to Gates for all the happenings, and I would apologize to the American public.

Obviously, he's more worried about his ass being sued, if he ever apologize.

What's worse, the P. Chief neither aopologize nor feel sorry. Obviously these guys have no respect for citizens.

Theese types are bound to abuse their authority in bad ways. They should be removed.

[jamesevanoff]

The next time the cops are called to your house, Marty, and everything is fine, you should do what Gates should have done and thanked them for showing concern and let them be on there way. I don't think any neighbors of Gates will be watching out for him from now on. And it doesn't have jack to do with race. This wasn't profiling. This wasn't a traffic stop. Crowley has a stellar record and is the profiling training officer for several different police departments within the county. Enough...

[ALITECH1]

You messaged me just to say that????? The point is the man lived there and while he is renting it, it is his home!!! There was no crime committed, no real crime, and the man should not have been arrested in the confines of his own home!!! And thats the point (fact) that shoud have been taken from my statement!!! And stop knit picking!!!

[martytron56k]

If you can't see this is racism you're either white, or delusional, or an uncle tom. Racism aside, if any of you fucks got arrested for entering your home you'd be crying about your rights being violated too.

And Fire James Crowley Now!

[Azada628]

STOP the "CUZ I'm Black" CRAP!!!!! Accept responsibility for you actions. Gates was seen in what appeared to be an act of breaking and entering. Police responded as they are bound by law to do. Upon questioning Gates goes off. He should apologize for his unprofessional behaviour, certainly unbecoming a scholar.

[martytron56k]

FIRE THAT RACIST FUCK CROWLEY NOW!

Of course the pigs will protect their own, old news. Fire Crowley NOW!

[vladhogan]

Shut the hell up! Arrest him for what? Doing his job?

[martytron56k]

Cops dont usually get arrested lol. He should resign or be fired though for his actions. But your suggestion to prosecute Crowley is excellent, abuse of police power, wrongful arrest, racial profiling, refusing gates his rights of due process.

How the fuck is arresting innocent people doing your job?

[vladhogan]

Lets say you were a cop and you went to check out a b. and e. and you saw an old white guy in the house. Arent you going to confirm that the guy lives there rather then take his word for it? And now if the guy starts yelling at you, are you just going to stand there and take it. No you would warn him once, maybe twice and then you would arrest him. Thats exactly what happened. This story is a fucking joke. Black crybabies, its pathetic. Only in America.

[vanpcnguyen]

PS. I graduated HS at age 17, finished college at 21, served in the US Navy for 6 years, obtained Navy Lieutenant, and finally got my master in Business Administration. And you dare to call me a VC, you monkey boy? I am more of an American than you'll ever be.

[vanpcnguyen]

Beside, you are probably one of those niggers that thinks the cops are picking on you unfairly.

[vanpcnguyen]

Whoops, I forgot, or you should know that it doesn't take someone white to hate niggers. Ask the Mexicans, Hispanics, Indians, Asian, etc, etc, to see who is at the bottom of the socialeconomic rung, it everyone will answer niggers. But, of course, you being a niggers, will think that's not true, which is fine be me anyway, because why would I care what an ape thinks?

[vanpcnguyen]

Stupid Nigger - Alphamale69

[harveydents]

this reporter is a fucking idiot, there is nothing "startling" about his comment, OBAMAS comment made with out the facts was!

[harveydents]

Oh and Crowley teaches a class to cops on racial profiling and how it should be avoided. Black Cops on the force thought gates AND obama were out of line. So the only ones being racist here are 1. obama, 2. gates, 3. the rest of you racist blacks who love other racist blacks like jesse jackson and al sharpton, BILL COSBY HAS CLASS HE WAS OUTRAGED AT OBAMA AND GATES

[zulu368]

that fuckin racist cop need to be fired! point blank. so the rest the mothafuckas out there they will learn from it...

[harveydents]

Gates home was broken into earlier that month when he wasnt home, Gates showed his college id which DOES NOT have a address one it, an HISPANIC cop called in the supposed breakin, GATES HAS A HISTORY of making racist comments, OBAMA made a comment without reading the police report which is scary, Gates was arrrested for DISTURBING THE PEACE not the break in, although OBAMA made it sound like the other way around, the arrest report is online read it,.

[banter2345]

sounds like the pot calling the kettle black... oh wait, i'm sure you think that's racist too, right, race baiter???? the only card in your deck is the race card...

[Alphamale69]

Crowley wants to appear like a tough guy. Take away his gun and badge and he's another coward,patrolling the streets.

[banter2345]

he'd still have his night stick to break off in your ass...

[Alphamale69]

stupid VC - vanpcnguyen

[czam73]

I'm not a Left or Right winger. I just try to arbitrate in the most neutral way as possible.

[czam73]

The Only Difference is that The President is The Commander In Chief and Sergeant James Crowley is only a local police and I understand perfectly that he's in every right not to apologize but also he can't challenge a Commander in Chief's authority. I'm pretty sure Obama doesn't care if the Crowley won't apologize, he's not gonna get marked or sanctioned for it. At the end, there's nothing wrong to apologize but not doing so it just shows what kind of arrogant man that Crowley really is.

[bunnybear42]

WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO A BLACK MAN IN THIS SITUATION, IF HE REFUSED TO APOLOGIZE TO "THE (WHITE) MAN". HE'D BE TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO FEED HIS FAMILY ---- THAT'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. Cambridge cops ARE the kkk!! Then again, ALL white cops are; even the women.

[jroche420]

The black cop on the scene with Crowley said that Crowley had every right to make the arrest. All white cops are racist? That my friend, is more of a prejudice racial comment than this whole situation you Bias Hypocrite!

[bigdaddyquey]

totally true! he shouldn't have to apologize. Gates should be the one apologizing.

[bigdaddyquey]

You accusation is baseless thus senseless.

[banter2345]

bullshit, he'd be given a commendation by the naacp and black pampers.

[DAT573]

Sgt. Crowley is really handsome.

What a good looking guy.

[jamesevanoff]

Typical News Media..... What was Mr. Gates arrested for? Was it profiling? NO. Was it burglary? NO. Was it breaking and entering? NO

When you disobey an officer who is there to assist you, making sure your home is safe, you might want to comply. Don't scream and berate him halfway across your lawn so your neighbors can hear and put your lame, racist claims to rest. Mr. Gates, you are pathetic and a disgrace to higher education.

[charleshoskinson]

No one will cover this side of the story because it's "racist". I agree with you 100%

[vanpcnguyen]

Typical nigger, always complaining when a cop arrest him/her. This is very typical of niggers in the US.

[drServitus]

When a cop shows up you do what he says. Period. The time for civil disobediance MUST end when a police officer gets involved.If you have a problem the time to complain is in front of a judge.

If you argue with a cop you will allways loose.And you SHOULD allways loose.

[roboticrei]

Agreed.

[ArielJeral]

This Cop is F^%$# Handsome and adorable!

You would do him too

[hsmnwnner]

wow, a white guy arrest a black guy and its racist?

[Soni77000]

Good job officer...good job...We are Americans and we don't apologize, we police...We first shot then we ask questions.

[Soni77000]

I piss on you and ur president.

[rambhakta]

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story ...Go Sgt. Crowley go . That professor is ignorant in the sense that he missed the class that teaches respect to law and order.

[Meesh60612]

If the Sarge is a racist, then why didn't the black police officer stand up for Gates by pulling Sgt Crowley aside and say this isn't right? The camera showed he did nothing. obviously he too thought there was cause to arrest out of control Gates. I can't see a Latino officer writing up a false report about what really happened. Or is the Latino racist too? Obama had no right calling anyone stupid. Not only is Obama ruining this country financially but he likes starting race wars. How sad.

[debbiedelight7]

Matt Laurer Sucks!

[debbiedelight7]

The racist Cambridge Pig should apologize!

[goldenladey]

The police had probable cause to enter the residence; after all that transpired after that, is highly unfortunate. If we're not careful we may quietly laps into a police state where we can be arrested in our own homes for who knows what.

[roboticrei]

A police has every right to arrest someone in their own home if they are breaking the law, and unless I am mistaken disorderly conduct is a was of breaking the law.

[goldenladey]

That's true. We should have been a fly on the wall to see just how everything went down. It's up to the police to determine how disorderly the person is. Definately a judgement call. One of the most dangerous calls can be residential situations.

[ALITECH1]

I'm a blackman and i don't know that this guy is a racist from what they put out in the news concerning this case. However, he is dead wrong for arresting this man in his own house after it was clear that the man is the owner of the house. Proof that he is wrong is that they dropped all charges , and yes he should apologize. The man had a right to be angry with the officer and he should have been safe from the officer in the confines of his own home. He may not be a racist but he's wrong!!!

[jahguy7]

Well if the training and regulations that he went through forces him to make that arrest, then it is in the departments hands, not his.

[ALITECH1]

There is no training that give you the right to arrest someone in there home because they said something you dont like. The department knows he's wrong and that is why they dropped all charges and not only is he wrong He's arrogant by stating that he will never appologize. When it's proven that he's wrong he still won't appologize because he's above the law and he's arrogant.

[jahguy7]

Have you listened to the officers report??? There are plenty of witnesses to confirm his point of view. Gates went berserk and immediately accused the officer of being racist. He won't apologize because it wasn't his doing, but gates was arrested because he was arguing with the officers! Please look at both sides before you draw rash judgments.

[ALITECH1]

Yes, i've heard both sides. Gates was wrong for his conduct but what i'm trying to say is that Gates didn't brake any laws. He was withing the confines of his own home. After it was established that he was the owner and not a burgular, then the officers job was done and they should have left. Gate accused the officers of being racist which was wrong but there was no law broken and he should not have been arrested is my point. The officer arrested him falsely and the charges were dropped.

[jahguy7]

So your allowed to break laws as long as your on your own property? They didn't arrest him for breaking into his home, they arrested him for disorderly conduct. Arguing and even being temperamental with authority is against the law. My only guess is Gates is a racist, or perhaps he has some strange desire to bring up another useless racial quarrel, but he did. Now he is taking it to the media to get attention out of it. The charges were dropped because of the unwanted attention it got.

[debbiedelight7]

SO THEY SAY!

[ALITECH1]

No, by no means should Gates be breaking laws and his conduct is not becoming of a scholar. I don't think he should be calling this officer names(rogue) and implying that he's racist. Listen Jahguy7 in all honesty i feel that they are both wrong and yes i agree that Gates is making too much of this by going to the media and trying to defame Crowley by labelling him a racist. Nevertheless, i still don't think Gates should have been arrest.

[martytron56k]

Fuck you anti-american fucks. So the police barge in on your property and accuse you of breaking in, refuse to answer any of your questions, even though you fully cooperate with their illegal intrusion to your property. Then both parties establish you're there legally.

So what's left? Gates is correct in calling this piece of shit abusive cop out on the racist he is.

Expressing your constitutional rights is NOT A FUCKING CRIME. If it happened to you, you'd be crying even more than Gates.

[IPOMonster]

MARTY...

Are we a bit bitter son?

Sounds like the cops have been fucking your whiny-ass up for years!

GO FIVE-OOOOOO!!!!

[martytron56k]

That's total bullshit, people are responsible for their actions and Crowley made the arrest beyond the concern of law. Gates demanded proper police protocol, his badge number, identification, and was coerced out of his home. Crowley is clearly a liar and abusive with police power.

We can only pray he is prosecuted for the coward he is.

[NoBamaYoMamma]

martytron56k: "...people are responsible for their actions..."

Interesting, considering the level and frequency of histrionics with which you defend Gates' exaggerations.

Listen at the end of a Gates radio interview (YT /watch?v=CpyOsUUA1BQ) when he purported being nominated as CNN Hero. But Gates is fabricating that CNN nomination, according to CNN's hero website. Gates is obviously, willfully, lying.

Yet will Gates take responsibility for that whopper? He hasn't yet!

[martytron56k]

Who gives a shit what gates thinks or does, as long as it isn't illegal? This is about police arresting an innocent man in his own home, for entering his own home. This is about the police officer arresting gates because he was butthurt about the mommy comment with a crooked police officer trying to cover his ass, thats why the department dropped the charges in the first place lol.

And even if gates is a lazy nigger as you say, thats no excuse for a police officer who's sworn to protect.

[NoBamaYoMamma]

martytron56k: "And even if gates is a lazy nigger as you say..."

I neither stated nor implied any such element. Not even remotely. Yet the fact you have demonstrates an apparent lack of mental dexterity to distinguish context, not to mention the good sense to move your lips while reading.

Get a clue, Braintrust!

[martytron56k]

I only gave a direct quote from you; you can bullshit yourself all you want, it still doesn't change that the fact you're wrong, as well as these racist police.

Either it is OK to arrest innocent people or it isn't. Quit being a pussy and make a decision, and quit failing at life lol.

Crowley committed a crime and should be punished. Just because you don't like it doesn't change the facts. Reality is a tough thing to deal with if you won't accept it. Wake up and try to think for yourself.

[roboticrei]

Refusing to show identification to a police officer then yelling at them is disorderly conduct, which is what Gates was arrested for. Disorderly conduct does not make someone an innocent person, and gives an officer every right to arrest them.

[martytron56k]

Maybe in a totalitarian society. In america, Citizens have rights, not the state.

Of course, the whole issue would have been resolved if the police officer would just apologize for his plausibly racist, stupid action.

If the officer was correct, why is gates not being prosecuted?

[NoBamaYoMamma]

martytron56k: "Reality is a tough thing to deal with if you won't accept it."

...Reading your comments, I see that point (talk about ironic).

[jamesevanoff]

Your comments shows your ignorance and unwillingness to accept the facts. The officers were called because there had been 17 break-ins in recent weeks in the neighborhood. A concerned neighbor called in a suspicious action. Once on scene, they determined Gates to be the "renter" of the home, not owner, but was lawfully there. As they were leaving, Gates launched into a tirade, overheard by neighbors who corroborate the account. He was arrested for disorderly conduct, not a "your mama" comment.

[martytron56k]

Anyone can pull your "facts" out their ass *cough* like a good little foxnews slut *cough*.

Gates is guilty of nothing and is a victim of police brutality, and should be entitled to damages from the state. Disagreeing with the police, especially when they're fucking wrong, is NOT a crime.

The FACTS are that an innocent man was arrested after being harassed and coerced outside by the police. Gated demanded the police to leave his residence, as is his right when the police are unwarranted

[roboticrei]

You make it sound like just because someone is in their house means that they are above the law.

[martytron56k]

People are entitled to a right to privacy in their own home and can say whatever the fuck they please, if you don't like it you can join the socialists republicans. Gotta love the first amendment, cunt.

[zarathustrads]

There were several witnesses. Why aren't we hearing from them?

[ElliotB16]

everybody is on the cops side, the black man was acting up refusing to listen to the cop and he arrested him, no big deal. it goes on all the time. The problem is people like Al Sharpton and obama stirring everything up

[ALITECH1]

I'm sorry sir, but the problem is not Obama or Al Sharpton. The problem is this cop who is above the law. Keep in mind sir there was no crime committed by the man. The cop was there to investigate a possible break in but once the guy showed his id and proved he is the owner of the house, the investigation is over and there is no grounds to further investigate. If the man was angry for being inconvenienced the cop should have been understanding of this. The man has rights in his home!!!

[martytron56k]

All of these people on the cops side are the same people for the crazy jesusfreaks that murder abortionists that bend over backwards to suck more Patriot Act cock.

The STATE (crowley) made a mistake, error, fuck up, civil liberty violation, and no one wants to own up to it. Gates is an esteemed Harvard professor; not an impoverished ghetto thug. I just don't buy the "He was acting like a crazy nigger so I had to arrest him" story as purported by Crowley.

Too god damn common by the police.

[eks56]

This isn't a racist thing, this is a cop thing. White, black or green. The swine have a new tazer and they are aching to use on who ever gives them the slightest excuse.

[martytron56k]

The fucking truth!

[eks56]

Good thing the professor wasn't in North Carolina. They would have tazed his ass, beat the hell out of him and shot his dog right before his eyes. You don't get mouthy with the Nazi's in NC.

[cagedtigersteve]

Freaking racist cop.

[Churchx77]

You dont know what the fuck happened keep your judgement to yourself asshole.

[cagedtigersteve]

Oh no, you don't know what you're talking about. I've worked with and known Jimmy for the last 10 years, so I think I know what this guy is.

[Churchx77]

Right... Ima believe a guy who listed his age as 92 years old. If your strategy to win a debate or an argument is to make shit up thats pretty sad(and a sad testament to your intellectual abilities).

[cagedtigersteve]

Oh now you're disrespecting me? It's my generation who fought on the beaches of Normandy so kids like you can have your rock-and-roll and video games.

[Churchx77]

Cant believe people are dumb enough to thumb up your post.

[martytron56k]

FIRE CROWLEY NOW. NO MORE RACIST COPS!
