Lawrence O’Donnell, Jr. wrote a lovely opinion piece for Time.com. here are excerpts:

There is no crime described in Crowley’s official version of the way Gates behaved. Crowley says explicitly that he arrested Gates for yelling. Nothing else, not a single threatening movement, just yelling. On the steps of his own home. Yelling is not a crime. Yelling does not meet the definition of disorderly conduct in Massachusetts. Not a single shouted word or action that Crowley has attributed to Gates amounts to disorderly conduct. That is why the charges had to be dropped.

In classically phony police talk, Crowley refers to “[Gates'] continued tumultuous behavior.” When cops write that way, you know they have nothing. What is tumultuous behavior? Here’s what it isn’t: he brandished a knife in a threatening manner, he punched and kicked, he clenched his fist in a threatening manner, he threw a wrench or, in the Gates house, maybe a book. If the subject does any of those things, cops always write it out with precision. When they’ve got nothing, they use phrases that mean nothing. Phrases like tumultuous behavior.

Lawrence O’Donnell hit the nail on head!

As I mentioned in a previous post, this was a case a STUPID cop (I wonder what the heck this moron was teaching in his anti-racial profiling class) flexing his muscles — to teach an UPPITY and HIGHLY EDUCATED NIGGER A LESSON!

Rush Limbaugh’s Take on The Cop Fiasco:

“We learned last night that he did, President Obama did listen to Reverend Wright all those years,” Limbaugh said in a Fox News interview, referring to Obama’s controversial former pastor. “He’s angry at this country, he’s not proud of it.”

“Let’s face it, President Obama is black and I think he’s got a chip on his shoulder,” Limbaugh continued.

Rush Limbaugh: I get high ratings from “being positive,” “inspiring and motivational.“
