    And one of the main reasons this thread is so long is because Chump keeps saying over and over and over and over and over that the cop should've just left.

    We get where you're coming from Chump - now can you just shut up and stop posting the same crap repeatedly? I'm beginning to wonder if you're suffering from OCD.
    If you don't like it, don't read it. You post the same crap about Obama over and over again -- so you are a hypocrite as well as an idiot.

    No one has given any good reason for the police to stay and arrest and transport and book and jail Gates. Yoni has tried to make up a story that the abject terror inflicted on the police and onlookers by and old man yelling from his porch made it a great arrest worthy of medals and bonuses. God knows how many lives they saved by arresting an old man yelling from his porch.

    Cambridge police: Race not mentioned in 911 call

    "Contrary to published reports that a 'white woman' called 911 and reported seeing 'two black men' trying to gain entry into Mr. Gates home, the woman, who has olive colored skin and is of Portuguese descent, told the 911 operator that she observed 'two men' at the home," Murphy's statement read.

    Haas said Whalen, after questioning by the dispatcher during the 911 call, speculated that one of the men — who turned out to be Gates and a black car service driver — may have been Hispanic.

    "It was very clear that she wasn't sure what the men's race was," Haas said in an interview with The Boston Globe Sunday night.

    The 911 tapes have not yet been made public, but Haas has said he expected some version of the tapes to be released within the next few days.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090727/...scholar_caller
    How could race not be mentioned in the 911 call when she said she thought one may have been Hispanic during the 911 call?

    From an article about the call:

    The two men turned out to be Gates, who was unable to open his front door, and his driver, who assisted Gates in opening the door and left.

    So we have indeed heard the 911 call and also from the woman's attorney that she never once said these were black men- so anyone have any questions about the accuracy of the cop's report now?

    Seems to me the only stupid (or racist) people involved in this incident are Professor Gates and President Obama.

    Gates; stupid for not alerting a neighbor he would be breaking into his own house. Stupid for meeting the officer at the door with immediate accusations of racial profiling. Stupid for accusing the well-meaning neighbor of being a racist. Stupid for continuing to be an asshole throughout the incident. Stupid for not shutting the up on the two occasions he was advised before being arrested. Stupid for thinking anything in this whole affair puts him in a positive light or that it can be a springboard for further his career. Stupid for giving the country a chance to dig up his extremist, racist past for public inspection.

    Obama; stupid for yet again, illuminating one of his extremist, racist, or idiot associations from his past.

    That it's hung on this long is testament to Obama's stupidity. I don't think it's going to die that easily either.

    How so? The Police are generally being vindicated and held in a good light, over this incident. Obama and Gates, not so much.

    Under what twisted logic is the arrest more stupid than Gates' behavior or Obama's ill-informed defense of yet another racist, extremist, activist buddy?

    why do i even bother.. you state that obama came out the worse because the police were sort of vindicated generally speaking...so if the police weren't fully vindicated how can Obama come out worse in the situation generally speaking?

    Well, generally vindicated from the perspective that a) the arrest wasn't racially motivated and b) the arrest appears to be a matter of officer discretion. Those types of arrests happen every day. That people disagree with the arrest doesn't make it illegitimate and, certainly, not stupid.

    I couldn't say fully vindicated because there's still the argument that the arrest was unnecessary. But, again, unnecessary doesn't equal stupid...not nearly as much as making ill-informed pronouncements about the officer's actions equals stupidity.

    i've tried to explain it to you, yoni. i've told you that you can't see past your black fear on any subject regarding race. that scar will likely last you a lifetime. i don't think you have the strength to move past that moment........but i'm hoping for you, buddy.

    No, you haven't explained why the arrest was stupid.

    So, you can't explain it...you're just saying it because you want to bash the police. I get it.
