which repub moron told me racism was dead

According to the artilce, they did get the FUCK out of his house.
It would appear that the problem then became, that he followed them out of the house and was (shall we say) less then civil.

Not being civil to cops is not against the law.

It was HIS porch, his house.

Question: Do cops get arrested for yelling and swearing at citizens?
 
the black cop was negligent in not reigning in his racist partner. Your a racist so your vision is clouded, not surprising as your a narrow minded tool.

you truly are an idiot. how exactly is the cops behavior racist? How does stating that I do not see racism from the cops in this case based on what we know, somehow make me a racist?

You are just a complete hack who likes to run around screaming racism.
 
Abso-fucking-lutely correct.

LMAO... explain how the cops actions were racist. Please. NOTHING that has been shown suggests this cop is racist. Pretending that the black cop simply wasn't reigning in his racist co-worker??? That is laughable. It just never occured to you that the professor was abusive enough that the cops just said fuck it.... and arrested him?

To try and blame this on racism is nothing short of racist. You see a white cop and automatically cry racism. Just as the professor did. I guess next time those cops will know that when arresting a black man it is better to have the black cop be the 'arresting officer'. That way these false cries of racism dont continue to erupt and demean those that are truly victims of racism.

Obvious racists calling others racists. It would be funny, if it weren't so damn pathetic.
 
This is one of the funniest threads yet, if the cops went there and there was truly a intruder instead of the Prof there that had picked up a piece of mail with the prof. name on it and gave the name to the cops and they left, y'all would be screaming the racist cops left cause it was a black man's house

When a cop is trying to do his job and decide if the situation is a threat, it isn't a good idea to get shitty with them whether you are white or black, nope probably not against the law to do so, but I wonder if anything else was said except calling the cops racist

Put yourself in the same situation, I know from experiences the cops don't take to shitty attitudes when they are investigating a possible crime

Dude, cops don't take to complete compliance whenever they feel like it.

A. There was no intruder and NO ONE would be screaming racism if the cops had done their job properly and simply left the mans home when he proved it was his.

It's real simple.

B. African-Americans have a VERY GOOD REASON not to trust the police .. make that a PROVEN, STUDIED, and DOCUMENTED reason not to trust the police.

That's true in spite of you working with cops.

C. The case was dismissed with the quickness because it's obvious the cop did not handle the situation properly.
 
D. Gates Police Confrontation Ends With Charge Dropped

July 21 (Bloomberg) -- Police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, dropped a disorderly conduct charge against Harvard University African American studies professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., calling his arrest last week “regrettable and unfortunate.”

“This incident should not be viewed as one that demeans the character and reputation of Professor Gates or the character of the Cambridge Police Department,” said a statement today issued jointly by Gates, the police, the city of Cambridge and the Middlesex County district attorney. “All parties agree that this is a just resolution to an unfortunate set of circumstances.”

Gates, 58, director of Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African & African American Research, was handcuffed and hauled away in a police car July 16 at 12:44 p.m. in front of his home in Cambridge, where Harvard is located, according to a police report. Police responded after a woman caller reported a man trying to force open the door of the Ware Street home with his shoulder, according to Officer Carlos Figueroa’s arrest report.

With stories appearing in The Times of London and newspapers across the U.S., the arrest drew international attention and rekindled some Harvard faculty members’ concern that police may be singling out black men for harassment, said S. Allen Counter, a university neuroscientist who was stopped by Harvard’s campus police in 2004. A panel commissioned by university President Drew Faust earlier this year said the school should create an outside ombudsman to review how its officers interact with students, faculty and staff.

Let's see the hands of all the knuckleheads who believe that a department will call the proper actions of one of its officers "regrettable and unfortunate."

can i go onto my porch and just scream and make noise to my hearts content?

Yes you can when you feel threatened and harrassed.

Now answer my question .. which sure seems difficult for you defenders of the insane to answer.
 
a few years ago my brother and his girlfriend were driving down a road when they made a wrong turn in an area where there was a construction sign, there was cops standing nearby and though he was going to fast in that area. They stopped him, dragged him out of the car, and threw him to the ground and started kicking him.

Keep in mind my brother never even had detention growing up...

They were also harassing his girlfriend, making lewd comments etc

They were pushing him as well, and after the fact my brother said he believed they were trying to provoke him into fighting back or resisting in anyway so that they could arrest him. My brother being smart didn't do shit and was basically like a rag doll. They eventually left him alone.

Had my brother been black, it obviously would have been a racist encounter.

*rolls eyes*

"when you feel threatened harrassed" that's pretty subjective BAC. And that's not going to cut it when it comes to disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct.

What is your question?

Whether it "cuts it" for you is hardly the point. African-Americans recognize that when being threatened or harrassed by police, draw attention to the scene .. and if someone has a video camera, tape the motherfuckers.

Question: Do cops get arrested for yelling and swearing at citizens?
 
i would venture to say no, cops probably also get a break when it comes to speeding though. I don't see how this is relevant. Maybe this whole attitude of "blacks causing a commotion so that people get a videotape" is what gets blacks arrested more in the first place. Maybe it would help to not going fucking psychotic over a routine checkup when someone suspects your house is being burglarized. Besides we are talking cambridge here not alabama.
 
"disturbing the peace is a crime generally defined as the unsettling of proper order in a public space through one's actions. This can include creating loud noise by fighting or challenging to fight, disturbing others by loud and unreasonable noise (including loud music or dog barking), or using offensive words or insults likely to incite violence."

....

"Police may use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when people are behaving in a disruptive manner to themselves or others, but present no serious public danger. Disorderly conduct is typically classified as a misdemeanor."

...

"Examples of Disorderly Conduct
Disorderly conduct offenses vary widely by state. Here are some of the most common acts that are considered disorderly conduct offenses:
Public drunkenness
Inciting a riot
disturbance of the peace
loitering in certain areas
fighting / physical altercations
obstructing traffic
use of extremely obscene or abusive language
loud or unreasonable noise"

they have every right to make these charges against this man.

Now you've sunk into an absolutely IGNORANT AS HELL argument.

Maybe its black people's fault for being harrassed.

WOW

Welcome to the stupidity of the Rodney King insane argument.

The relevancy of cops screaming and using obscenities at innocent citizens is obvious regardless of how hard you close your eyes. Why should citizens have any respect for police departments and officers who don't respect them?

If the police can yell obscenties and not get arrested then so should citizens.

They are paid to protect and SERVE

Did you miss D?
