Apparently, the Boston Globe has seen fit to remove the police report surrounding the Henry Louis Gates, Jr. – Cambridge Police Department incident from their website where it was originally posted.
Maybe it was removed because it not only showed how poorly Professor Gates was acting, but also how stupid the uninformed president’s comments were as well.

Why is it that the ones who proclaim “racism” appear to be racists?
Would the perfessr have acted the same way if a “brutha” responded to the call?
He tells the officer that the door can’t be secured because of a previous break in attempt. I think I’d be happy I had a neighbor willing to call police just because of that.I think this is a case of never wasting a crisis.
Mr. (Professor, Doctor?) Gates broke the “Rule of Holes” and in addition made an ass of himself.
Best to just be thought a fool, then to open your mouth a remove all doubt. Hello, Obama?
I found this site. It has both police reports on it. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0723092gates1.html
IT Nerd,
Let me introduce you to a phrase that has more and more meaning each day: “Race baiting”.
Just as the Boy Who Cried Wolf, those who bandy about the Racism! term are themselves much more guilty of said term.
Jesse (Hi-)Jackson and Al (Not to)Sharpton immediately come to mind. And then there’s “Babs” Boxer…
On th flip side of the coin, there’s Alfonzo Rachel, which I was first introduced to right here on B&R, but eventually ended up on PJTV. AR is one level-headed kid, and we sure need more like him. And you, Bob.

Bill Cosby ’shocked’ at Obama’s statement on Harvard prof’s arrest
Bill Cosby gives Obama benefit of doubt on Harvard prof arrest
““If I’m the president of the United States, I don’t care how much pressure people want to put on it about race, I’m keeping my mouth shut.””
I think Cosby recognizes that BS is not a leader, but a politician. However, for some reason, he later resorts to equivocation. Cosby is absolutely correct in his statement above. It’s funny how BS remains quiet for days when a man murders a soldier on U.S. soil; but, he immediately jumps in when his friend is arrested and an abortionist is murdered. I think these separate actions would confirm that BS is not, in fact, a leader who represents the citizens of America.
“Would the perfessr have acted the same way if a “brutha” responded to the call?”
As a brotha who once wore a badge, the answer to that is a qualified YES.
Psychosis does not need nor respond to logic.
I just got home from work and read the report on TSG.
My favorite part is when Gates says: “Ya, I’ll speak with your mama outside” All I could think about is this guy is still stuck in the 60′s. Then again is in Cambridge… So I read NOBAMAS qualifying remarks:
CLEVELAND (AP) – President Barack Obama said Thursday he was surprised by all the hubbub over his comments that a white police officer in Cambridge, Mass., had acted “stupidly” in arresting a prominent black scholar for disorderly conduct. The president didn’t take back his words, but he allowed that he understood the sergeant who made the arrest is an “outstanding police officer.”
“I have to say I am surprised by the controversy surrounding my statement,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News, “because I think it was a pretty straightforward comment that you probably don’t need to handcuff a guy, a middle-aged man who uses a cane, who’s in his own home”
All I can say is NOBAMA is now officially a FUCKING IDIOT!!!
First he calls the Cambridge Police Stupid and racist ON NATIONAL TELEVISION..WTF?????
Next he’s surprised at all the hubbub??????
Qualifies the statement by saying the arresting officer is an “outstanding police officer” Well which is it??? Outstanding or Stupid??? Oh I get it Outstandingly Stupid. That must be what he meant.
Maybe he was just reading off of Biden’s teleprompter?
“Psychosis does not need nor respond to logic.”
Exactly. When you act respectfully, people tend to respond in kind. Gates, as an educated man, should understand that well. As for the officer, we’ll have to wait and see who lost control first. However, I would think that Gates responded with actions and words becoming of the philosophy and teachings he espouses.
“Biden’s teleprompter”
Didn’t that fall and break? That would explain the inappropriate words offered by a leader of the people. BS needs to be reminded that he represents the U.S.A. and American citizens, not his friends or other special interests. He is no longer a private citizen.
Hey TexRex, when you stated:
“All I could think about is this guy is still stuck in the 60’s.”
You are spot on. It appears that Obama, really too young to have lived with a high degree of awareness through the 60s, is surrounded by those who did, those who were the yippies and radicals and war protesters. That’s who are in power with BO now. Those who hate America. Those who for all these 50 (or more) years have been trying through various cultural and political means to ‘change’ America.
Through schools – teachers AND textbooks – Isn’t William Ayers a textbook writer or something? – through desensitizing children AND adults via mind-numbing, culture changing television and music, to political stands on issues and Political Correctness to shut down any discussion, these people have been slowly roasting us with our consent.
Apathy is the enemy of liberty. These people filled the gap and snuck in the crap to change our way of thinking and we ate it up. Now we will pay the ultimate price – UNLESS we stand up and fight. Call congress – tell them what you think. Go to Rallies, talk with neighbors, read books – the Constitution is a good start, support like-minded conservative outlets, yes, like Black & Right, NMATV, and so on.
DON’t support the elite, politically-left movie stars – don’t bother seeing or renting their movies. Don’t watch 30Rock or other shows that even if they are funny, the people on them hate you and all conservatives. Why give them your attention and time? Stop going to see U2 or other left thinking ‘acts’ – it won’t hurt YOU. This is a small way I fight back. I save money, don’t give a rat’s A** about these movies and so on. There are so many more important things to do with my time. Don’t you see?
Whew. More coffee….
You are dead on, Marla. I believe and do the same thing. Lastly though, I take my kids to church and try to teach them real morals and living God’s word by standing front and center on your beliefs. All PEOPLE are created equal under God, and no healthy person deserves an free path when others work so hard. I think the politicians need to remember this.
This just in, the officer in question in this incident voted for Obama!
He also was hand-selected, by a black superior officer, to teach the Racial Profiling segment at the Police Academy.
Meanwhile, Cambridge Police Dept. is discussing the release of their communications recordings during the incident.
The officer may just sue Gates, too.
The officer has stated that he wants an apology from the president…
He’s also the officer that tried to revive Reggie Lewis
