I waked over and went up on the back deck and looked inside. Then, I walked around the back towards the front of the house and checked the basement windows. As I got to the front yard, there was a police officer getting out of his car. I said hi and he asked if I lived at the house. I said "no, I live next door. I heard the alarm and came over because they aren't home". He asked me if I could show him some ID because there have been break in's in my neighborhood in the past. I didn't start yelling at him and calling him a racist because he's Asian and I'm white. I didn't say that he was profiling me because I'm white and most arrests in my town are of white people. I simply showed him my license and told him to have a good day.

Ahh, common sense and respect for the law was alive and well.

Let's see....The officer TEACHES a racial profiling class at a police academy, and was recommended for the position by a black superior officer because of his excellent ethics in police work.
He wasn't there alone, as there was other officers on the scene: A black and a hispanic officer.
He was responding to a 911 call, in a neighborhood that had had 9 break-ins already this year!
The icing on the cake is that he was claimed to have "lured" the "nutty professor" outside in order to arrest him, but in fact, he was walking outside in order to be able to communicate with the dispatcher (on his hand radio) because the "prof" wouldn't stop yelling at him. (I guess this dispells Mr. Gates claim that he couldn;t have yelled because of a sore throat, but maybe he's got that reversed?)

The final straw which will probably kill the "nutty professor"'s claim may come from the police communications themselves. It seems that Officer Crowley had the forethought to keep his mike ON while this was happening, so it was broadcast over the police radio.

How much would you bet that should this kook try and sue the police, that he tries to block the use of this transmission?
I can hardly wait, because this could give credance to the claim of "reverse discrimination, and subsequent added lawsuits.

Oh, and Officer Crowley should DEMAND an apology from Mr. Gates, the mayor of Cambridge, our clueless Governor and our "stupid" president. (It will probably never happen, but we can only HOPE for a CHANGE!)
