Old Saying: If the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer. Everything you see is a nail. What was Profressor Gate’s tool?

I came across your blog when I googled “fourth amendment…”. I did not expect to find a site with a LEO slant on how to violate the FA. Wow break down the door and guns ablazing if Gates refuses to open the door and show his ID. What part of the FA do you people not understand. To execute a warrantless serach or arrest there must be probable cause AND exigent circumstances. Please explain the PC and EX. Oh I know a black man standing hehind the glass door and there maybe another black man lurking inside!!. Wow good police work.

BTW we now have good reason to doubt Crowley’s police report. He was not aware of the race of the suspect he was not even sure that a BE had taken place or was in progress just the possibility. Right???

We need to continue in our support of Sgt. James Crowley. Just for doing his job he and his family have become part of a national conversation and a media blitz. We need to pray for this family and send Sgt. Crowley cards and letters of appreciation and support. Send to: Sgt. James Crowley, Cambridge Police Department, 125 Sixth Street, Cambridge, MA 02142-1009. My letter of appreciation for his work and support of his community is going in the mailbox this afternoon. We need more people like him “to protect and to serve.”

“Mateo:

Judging by the Gates/Crowley incident, apparently there really is no such thing as the crime of “false arrest”, in reality police can break into your house anytime without a search warrant, and they can retaliate against you if you disagree, simply by claiming you were “disorderly”.

But what’s even more interesting is how many people seem to vigorously support this arrangement. Amazing what some folks will give up to feel “secure”….”

At what point did Mr.Crowley “Break In”?

Do you have examples of this?

Sgt.Cooper I just noticed the name of the organization you linked to.

“Black” Police . org

This is a perfect example of why racism exist in this great country.

LEOs should stick together as one, and not purposefuly segregate themselfs.

Civil Rights leaders fought for decades to abolish segregation.

The very name of this org is a direct insult to what the Honorable Martin Luther King and other civil rights leaders fought to abolish.

Placing a label such as black, white, green, yellow, red, is in itself racial profiling.

A better name for this organization may had been:

The American Police Org.

The United Police Org.

“I worked in a police precinct\district in which some officers, in an effort keep a citizen from knowing their identity, would intentionally punch out one or more of the numbers of their badges, alternatively they would destroy their department issued name tags.”

This should had been brought to the attention of someone with authority.

“Gates is a 65 year old petite man who walks with a cane. Police officers should be physically fit.”

Yes no doubt someone that walks with a cane CAN NOT achieve the 3or 4 lbs of force needed to pull a trigger.

“The character of policing should change on the heels of the Cambridge, Mass incident .”

We can all pray that it does, however, many people still think they are above the law due to political connections or skin color. Some groups of people even condone the killing of police officers thru song and dance.

Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYHfRQ6Nn1c&feature=related

There is also the responsibility of those in Washington. Did you know that not to long ago a racist group called the New Black Panthers was allowed to advertise on Baracks site? Did you know that some of the members of this group stood out in front of a polling place to intimidate voters. Did you know, that they had their ass locked up, and then Baracks administration dismissed all charges against these guys?

It is a sad state of affairs, when such an Administration bows down to racism, and allows it to take place. Rainbow Push, NAACP, etc should write in and see if they can’t have these charges re-instated.
