Officer James Crawley
Did you see these photos of Prof Gates in the newspapers? NO? me either! Only on the first day or so did we see these- after that only "Nice Prof picts" "bad cop" picts
Ann Coulter's latest article on Obama's "stupid cop" comment is actually pretty tame for her.
Full disclosure: I think Pres. Obama is an empty suit who is in way over his head and does not have a clue about leadership and is still in campaign mode- repeating his campaign slogans 6 months after gaining the presidency. He ran as a conservative democrat or an old fashioned democrat and a 60's radical combination- "end the war in Iraq, tax cuts for 95% of the population, screw the rich, change the world and I am cool."
The whole "let's have a beer" to me smacks of his condescending to a blue collar cop- who obviously could not have a more refined taste than beer whereas he and his refined friend Prof. Gates are so refined they must speak slowly and drink lowly beer with the commoner.
The Prof. and the President owe the officer an apology.... period.
He was the only responsible adult simply doing his job. Finally, I note that over the last week or so nearly every picture in the paper of the Prof is his head shot from Harvard and the one of Officer Crawley is a contorted one. The "thousand words" of the picture say, "mean cop" "nice professor" above are the photos they should have used of the angry professor. Whole different look.
