		<description>Where I come from if a cops sees you on a piece of property, has no idea its yours, and asks to see proof that its yours and of who you are, and you turn around and tell him its none of your business...then you're wrong.
Because until he knows these things for his safety and anyone elses he has every right abd reason both morally and legaly to assume the worst and treat the situation as such.
Those who like to spin it and make up BS scenarios by framing the occurance the way jersey did are just as much scum as the the professor for playing the race card and misrepresenting the situation also.


The beer/learning moment thing was an insult to all of us. I learned that Obama has literally "pi$$ poor" taste in beer and that 3 out of four of them still think one of them is an a$$hole.
It drives me absolutely nuts when people say " we agree to disagree"
Just like Obama whos dressing this whole thing up to be something its not, it say "we got nowhere"

The best learning moment would of been to learn that Obama had a ounce of integrity left in him by apologizing for his stupis sttement.
I would of loved to learn that. But, instead, as it seems now, whatever respect I did have for the man is now gone.
He would of actually brought himself up to a level in my book that would hold some admiration if he'd just said that" we all say stupid things sometimes, yesterday I was one of those guys"

But instead, like the obfuscating chicken livered self indulged self righteous pompous a$$ that he is he had to "recalibrate"

What a humongous crock of crap that goes to telling America...

"I can say whatever I want and you should believe it "

Sorry bub, the elections over. And as everyday goes buy not only do I believe you less and less but I suspect you more and more of the worst intentions I've ever seen in any president.</description>

		<description>I don't like Cops. Cops are like rattlesnakes- they have a necessary function in removing vermin from the land. 

But one should tread very carefully around them, because they are prone to striking anything that gets too close. 

Same with cops. You always treat them with kid gloves. What the prof should have done was calmly offered his drivers license showing this was his address. End of problem.

Now- I have been profiled. Twice. The first time, I was driving to Lancaster the day a cop was killed by a man with long hair and a beard. I have long hair and a beard. Understandable.

The second time, I was on a date with a high school teacher when a cop pulled me over, dragged me from the car, and threw my against the hood before searching me. He did not state a reason, ask for license or registration, - he just decided I was worth shaking down. He eventually ran my license and found Nothing. I have a perfectly clean record. 

I don't like cops. Out of respect for Eric, I'll refrain from referring to them as Pigs- not sure what the kosher laws are on blog comments. ;) 

The person I feel sorry for is the gal who called the police. She's been accused of racism- and yet her 911 call never mentioned the prof as being black. She just said "a man." When pressed by the dispatcher, she said she thought he was hispanic, but wasn't sure. 

Yeah, I'd call her a good neighbor. But she went to work yesterday. She didn't get presidential beer (None of which was American owned BTW) and she doesn't have a book deal.</description>

		<description>Oh plueeze JMJ. Get serious. This was never about a police states
response to an irritated black guy. The police, as you well know, 
are protecting US from people who shoot, knife, and attack first, 
and ask questions (or run) later. 

Just watch "Cops", a two 30 minute program on Fox, every 
week to see what the police, sheriffs, other law enforcers
face each and every day. I havn't noticed ANY discrimination
on the program, against whites, blacks or Hispanics...all trouble
makers are handled by the police as the situation warrants. 

Racial profiling BTW, is not bac unto itself. It's done against
all equally, but for different crimes. 

Blacks walking along a street in a white neighborhood, white
collar criminals (in banking, finance, etc.), the Russian and Italian
mafioso, crimes of violence, drug offenses...are often times
done by particular groups. Soooo, profiling at airports against
Muslims is intelligent profiling. 

Had Muslims been profiled prior to 911, the dots would have
been connected and 3,100 people would today be enjoying their
lives, we would not have been in Iraq and Afghanistan, and over 4,000
soldiers would be alive. 

Profiling does not in and of itself, accuse any group of crimes..it
is a selective way of avoiding crimes (against everyone). 

Regarding Mr. Gates..anyone who watched a recent PBS documentary
with him narrating against the Civil War, got the feeling that
he is, in fact, a bigot.

I find it amazing that no one in the media, brought out this 
PBS offering. 

He offended (and purposely), everyone, including blacks and whites
who fought in that war. He stressed that the war was not fought 
to win the freedom of blacks...that in fact, blacks were mistreated
for years aftewards, until this very day (Jim Crow). 

During one segment, a group of blacks attended a meeting of 
pro-Confederate whites. Gates was shocked at this. 

These blacks had relatives who FOUGHT on the side of the South, 
against the Yankee North. They were proud of this. 

Gates approach was condescending, both towards the whites
and blacks present. 

This man, is simply someone who likes to provoke, then, when
there is a response (which he assumes) goes again on the offensive. 

Obama played right into his hands on this one. 

The real question is, will Obama use the same lack of judgement
with Putin, Assad, Abbas, Jong, Chavez, Castro, etc?

Obama may have smarts, but does he have wisdom? 

I think the answer is obvious. 

He should have said he was sorry for intervening, especially 
since he DIDN'T HAVE THE FACTS., and we are innocent
until proven guilty in this country. 

I am reminded of a murder that I read in the LA Times about 6 months
ago. Apparently a black man, age 84, shot and killed the maintenance
man in his building. Witnesses said that the maintenance man pleaded
for his life, after receiving 4 45s. He was then shot 2 more times. 

Now, wouldn't it be easy to accuse ALL blacks of profiling...he apparently
hated other minorities? 

Perhaps President Obama should have commented...that all blacks
hate non-blacks. But in this case the victim is dead, a middle aged
family man, whose wife just had given birth. 

Obviously both of the above are wrong. 

But lets look further into the Gates situation. What would have occurred
if the so-called robber was in fact robbing the home, in the absence
of the owner..and pulled a 45 on the cop? 

Food for thought. 

Folks, what can we do to bring a semblence of wisdom back to 
our White House? Well, for starters, vote out the Democrats in 2 years. 
That would be a good start. 

BTW, latest from the Caspian Sea, is that Russia will conduct
joint sea maneuvers with Iran, also employing helicopters. 
I wonder who Iran plans to invade? 

You know as well as I do, and it aint Washington D.C. 

There goes the neighborhood.</description>
