Funny how right wingers loved the cop's illegal actions against that professor in Cambridge but hated the cops and feds when they tried to enforce the law against far right militant Clive Bundy. When high powered rifles were aimed at those cops and feds, the right wingers suddenly went silent.
On July 16, 2009, Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested at his Cambridge, Massachusetts home by local police officer Sgt. James Crowley, who was responding to a 9-1-1 caller's report of men breaking and entering the residence. The arrest initiated a series of events that unfolded under the spotlight of the international news media.
The professor had gone to China. His neighbors saw him using force to open the front door and called the 911. The cop was informed of the professors absence so he took charge of the professor and arrested him. Obama made it worse with his beer summit.
There was no cause to arrest him as he had his passport to identify himself along with his books and luggage. The cop's action was inexcusably stupid. He should have been fired for it.
The 911 report says his neighbor caused the arrest due to his belief the professor still was in China. Said professor was using force to open the door. How many owners use force on their own front door?
Bulletin! I just heard that white supremacist wannabe and Trumpista Cesar Sayoc pleaded guilty to terrorism charges. One less rightie to worry about ...
Moving While Black .... The Kansas ACLU wants to know why a black man was detained by police while he was moving into his new house late at night. Police stopped Karle Robinson, 61, as he was carrying a large-screen television into the house. He was handcuffed outside for 8 minutes last August, the Kansas City Star reports. Tonganoxie police have said they had reason to think a crime was taking place. After watching the video, the police chief said officers did nothing wrong. The ACLU said that it's a case of "moving while black" and that Robinson, a military veteran, tried to file a complaint in writing with police but was stopped by the chief. Robinson says officers have regularly followed him, parked in front of his house, and driven by since that night. "Each of these incidents would be concerning had they been alleged independently," the ACLU said in a statement. "Together, they suggest a pervasive culture of racial bias." The ACLU asked the state attorney general to investigate. Police Chief Greg Lawson told the APthat the ACLU's letter to the attorney general "contains multiple accusations that are inaccurate" but didn't elaborate. He did say that his department has cooperated with the ACLU and Robinson and would cooperate with a state investigation. Census figures show 97% of Tonganoxie residents are white. "I'd like to see those cops and that chief lose their jobs, because this was uncalled for," Robinson tells the AP. "This is strictly racial profiling."

Funny how so many forum righties love the 2d Amendment but don't a flying sh||||t about the others.
I know. My point was that white cops always get away scot free even when their crimes are recorded and shown live on the internet such as the cop who strangled Eric Garner (''I can't breath'').

Funny how a few posts back the right wingers condemned Obama as supposedly causing the deaths of cops when the record clearly shows he REDUCED cop deaths. Even funnier is how they refuse to take back what they said.
According to that last link, 15 cops convicted. Last year alone 209 Americans killed by cop: Police Shootings Database - Killed By Police (Updated: 2019-03-1 killedbypolice.net 209 People Have Been Shot and Killed by Police in 2019 (Updated: 2019-03-1. Justice denied.
They haven't learned Daniel Moynihan's advice - you can have your own opinions, but not your own facts. Trump supporters are continuously trashed by the facts.
That lie is so old I'm sure you don't still believe it. Just about all of them remained in the party of racial politics, such as Al Gore Sr. There never was any "mass exodus" ever.
our extremely generous refugee program is so fraught with fraud and abuse, we should simply suspend it until we can fix it. trump is doing the right thing.
Kanas City is run by Democrats, Sly James mayor. Tonganoxie, with a population of 5,195, is strategically located in northeast Kansas in the Kansas City metropolitan area! Racist Democrats.
that is their strategy, call the opponent a racist and then pretend that’s the bombshell that wins the argument.
