    If I'm not mistaken, the 12 member group was put together by the Cambridge PD in order to help avoid something like this happening again. Sorry you have such a problem with it, Belonsky.

    What's tiresome is the return of the "I'm not racist, but I sure get abnormally worked up, totally out of proportion, justifying any actions of any white man against any black man. Gates must have done something to deserve it! But it wasn't race, don't accuse me of racism!" commenters.

    @La Mareada: I think in this particular case, the only person that was abnormally worked up and totally out of proportion was Gates - which led to his eventual arrest. Race didn't appear to be a factor until Gates made it one - it is well-documented that the woman making the 911 call didn't know the race of the men she was reporting. So in this case, it shouldn't appear abnormal to see people justifying the actions of Officer Crowley, who was just doing his job and was called a very horrible word for doing so - nothing less, nothing more.

    @strangelittlegirl: just because she didn't state his race in the phone call doesn't mean she wasn't aware of it. are you kidding me with this line of thought? also, that's the beauty of privilege, because it doesn't "appear to be a factor" to you, you can disregard it. it was certainly a factor to gates, and to most folks of color most of the time - whether something happens or not because of it, it's a factor. i'm sure there's a glenn beckkk show you could be watching on repeat somewhere crowley, i'm sure this is you...

    In reply to Gates Arrest Scandal Won't Die. Why?!
    Interesting. I must read a different newspaper than the author. I thought "we got here" when a woman noticed men of undetermined race possibly burglarizing a home (after a string of break-ins in the area) and you know, had the nerve to call the police. (Nosy!) Then the cop showed up and had the nerve to ask some questions and was called a racist so he left, and when he walked outside he was followed outside and yelled at and called a racist in front of all of Cambridge. Then he said, "Please stop yelling and calling me a racist." But Mr. Gates wouldn't stop, so Mr. Policeman arrested him for public intoxication or acting buck-ass crazy without a license or something. Is this close? No? Well, it's still closer than your version.

    An investigation into what happened doesn't mean the world hasn't had enough. It's an investigation - by 12 people - and nobody cares.

    Also, who were your professors in college that made you so bitter?

    "Slavery"? That's just provocative. There are many complex issues here that might bear examining that were well post-Civil War and post the Civil Rights movement. After all it might turn out that there are arrogant people who feel entitled to never being questioned or challenged, no matter what they do, and instead of responding civilly to a lawful request, start making an obnoxious scene.
    If you really didn't want to stir this up, maybe you shouldn't have posted it at all and just let it go by.

    This happened in Boston? NO WAY! I live in this insane town and my favorite election-season moment was when the 30-something bartender told me she refused to vote for Obama because 'I don't want a black in the White House because then I would be a minority' and she didn't want that. I tried to point out the flaw in her logic, but gave up and settled for a gimlet.
