Drinks are on the (White) House Soon?

IS THIS ABOUT REAL DIALOG OR JUST GOOD FOR OBAMA AND GATES – I SUSPECT THE LATTER. IF I WERE THE SGT. I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE – FAR AWAY. AS A WHITE GUY, I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH SIMILAR SITUATIONS INVOLVING RACE. A “BEER GET TOGETHER?” MY EXPERIENCE (TEACHER) HAS BEEN THAT THOSE TYPES OF MEETING ARE USUALLY A SET UP. SGT – STAY AWAY!!!!

There is no mystery to solve. Crowley should have left the man’s house after Gates showed proof that he lived there. Crowley should be fired for abuse of power!

“Crowley should have left the man’s house after Gates showed proof that he lived there.”
Maybe NOT: a PREVIOUS “break-in” had been reported when Gates returned from his travels.
Has Gates’ wife decamped, or died, or what? No house-sitter of ANY kind?

But one thing is clear: Gates did not violate any law. Under Massachusetts law, which the police officer was supposedly enforcing, yelling at a police officer is not illegal.
The Cambridge Police should be training their officers to know the difference between legal and illegal conduct. What Gates did was probably not so smart — in general, be nice to people carrying guns — but it wasn’t disorderly conduct. At least not in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
That explains why the charges against Gates were dropped. It wasn’t because the police were trying to defuse the situation. It was because Gates had done nothing illegal.
Arresting someone for doing something that isn’t illegal is pretty stupid.

I think the Sgt. should stay away from the White House dog and pony show. You know the professor is going to want him to apologize and what is he to do with the black president shoving him from behind. I don’t think the president should be encouraging alcohol as a mediation tool. That is disgusting. Just what the normal guys do huh pres go have a beer. It is not your cup of tea and neither is it the racist professors so who are you trying to impress. Not I says the working middle class.

“I don’t think the president should be encouraging alcohol as a mediation tool. That is disgusting.”
–> Manipulating the Irish cop they’ve ALREADY humiliated world-wide to drink beer while in dress uniform at the White House would be quite a media coup for teevee show-boats Obama and Gates.

Exactly! No amount of right-wing or media spin is going to make it so, either. Obama is a lawyer and called it absolutely correct.

BLUE DOG DEMS – IF YOU HAVE ANY HOPE OF SAVING YOUR PARTY AND THIS NATION – GET RID OF THESE BUMS. THESE LOSERS ARE LEFTISTS, NOT DEMOCRATS. JOHN KENNEDY WOULD BE APPALLED!!

“DC in Mass. requires “tumultuous conduct” and the Officer clearly states in his report that Gates engaged in such conduct”
_____________________________________
Nonsense! “Tumultuous conduct” is a phrase the officer used because there was nothing objective he could report.
There were no physical threats, no pushes, no fists clenched and threatening . . . there was nothing but some yelling.
Gates was breaking no law whatsoever.

THE POLICE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THE OTHER MAN (OR MEN) HIDING IN THE HOUSE. AT THAT POINT GETTING “EVERYONE” OUT OF THE HOUSE WAS THE “RIGHT”THING TO DO. OBAMA, WHY ARE YOU AFRAID TO RELEASE THAT TAPE??????? THE SGT.WENT BY THE BOOK AND HIS ACTIONS WERE ‘SPOT ON!!”

I think the beer is a nice touch, but Gate’s daughter has been spewing more vile which may destroy the coming together of the two sides.

IT SEEMS LIKE ALMOST EVERY DAY OBAMA DOES SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DEFENDED – MOSTLY STUPID STUFF MOST OF HIS SCREW-UPS ARE “LACK OF JUDGMENT.” SOUND FAMILIAR? TAKE THIS CAMBRIDGE INCIDENT. OBAMA IS IN A SWEAT TO GET A HEALTH CARE BILL PASSED AND BECAUSE HE GOT HIMSELF INVOLVED IN THIS CONTROVERSY, THE BILL IS EVEN FURTHER ON THE BACK BURNER. THIS IS OUR LEADER??

“Yelling at a police officer is not illegal in Massachusetts.”
High-volume “Your-Mama”-baiting MOST cops, in MOST places, would be quite likely to result — for MOST people of ANY color or academic status — in a psychiatric hold.
Perhaps, alas, in conjunction with er “field punishment”.

Danita – sorry, but if the police officer suspects that there are other bad guys involved, as no doubt this officer did, then the SGT. had every right to demand compliance from Gates. IN OTHER WORDS CALM DOWN AND SHUT UP!! NON COMPLIANCE IS AGAINST THE LAW – IN EVERY STATE!!!!

Danita, did it ever occur to you that the SGT wanted the home evacuated for “EVERYONE’S” protection – until he was satisfied that all were accounted for. WHAT IF THE ID WAS STOLEN? WHERE WAS THIS OTHER GUY? YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE HERE WHICH YOU REFUSE TO DO.

Sergeant Crowley might do well to resist the beer-bust baloney now coming from Obama-Gates:
On theroot’s front page today (Washington Post/Newsweek, Editor-in-chief Henry Louis Gates Jr.):
“Obama Finally Sounds Like A Black Man”, “Why Obama Did Not, Should Not, Apologize to Officer Crowley”, “Skip Gates Speaks”, “On the Record with Henry Louis Gates Jr.”, “What Do You Call a Black Man with a Ph.D.?”, “Officer Says He Won’t Apologize”, etc.
… along with large banner fotos of Obama, and of Gates in cuffs.
On the ‘About Us’ page:
“The Root is a daily online magazine … The site also hosts an interactive genealogical section to trace one’s ancestry through AfricanDNA.com, a DNA testing site co-founded by Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who is also The Root’s Editor-In-Chief.”

G-d help the press, and deliver it from carrying water for show-boats!
According to columnist Maureen Dowd, Gates told her “perhaps ‘fate and history chose me for this event.’”

yelling at a police officer is not illegal but when warn to stop yelling during an active investigation and failure to do so is cause for disorderly conduct.. just like you can go scream fire in a movie theatre and call it free speech.. and you can’t yell at a judge in court either and call that free speech..

Obama thinks he can charm his way out of anything. As if a beer will make what he said about the police go away.
There are no limits to his arrogance
and it will bring him down.
If beer is the answer why not share a beer with the leaders of Iran and Israel. That will solve everything.
Obama blew it and a beer will not erase his stupidity and prejudice.

” when warn to stop yelling during an active investigation and failure to do so is cause for disorderly conduct”
____________________________________
Not at all. Gates had already shown his ID and was in his own home and yelling at the police officer.
The officer told Gates he was going outside and that if Gates wanted to continue the exchange, he could step outside.
Gates stepped outside and continued yelling and the cop arrested him.
Yelling at a police officer is not illegal in Mass.

I wish someone would ask Obama about the DOJ’s decision to drop charges against the Black Panthers.
I would love to hear him stammer through an explanation as to why holding clubs outside voting centers
is OK.

If I was Sgt Crowley, I would decline this invitation. It certainly sounds to me like they want to get him alone and “set him straight.” If he comes out of this apologizing, we’ll know why. Obama is a master at manipulation and this Gates sounds like a vicious person who carries a whole deck of race cards.

The President owes Crowley an apology, not a beer.

Gates had provided his ID and he was in his own home.

Gates was given several warnings, was shown the handcuffs, and continued to exhibit disorderly conduct. He also resisted arrest when he was told he was under arrest.
“As I descended the stairs to the sidewalk, Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him. Due to the tumultuous manner Gates exhibited in his residence as well as his continued tumultuous behavior outside the residence, in view of the public, I warned Gates that he was becoming disorderly. Gates ignored my warning and continued to yell, which drew the attention of both the police officers and citizens, who appeared surprised and alarmed by Gates’ outburst. For a second time I warned Gates to calm down while I withdrew my department issued handcuffs from the carrying case. Gates again ignored my warning and continued to yell at me. It was at this time that I informed Gates that he was under arrest.”
“Gates initially resisted my attempts to handcuff him”

That explains why the charges against Gates were dropped. It wasn’t because the police were trying to defuse the situation. It was because Gates had done nothing illegal.

You don’t know why the charges were dropped. It was never explained. Perhaps they gave him a break after he calmed down. It happens.
If there was anything wrong with the arrest, I would imagine Crowley would be disciplined which he has not.

So this is how we’re treating the threat of racial profiling these days? Everyone over for a beer and a photo op? Either it’s serious or it’s not. How disingenuous is that on behalf of the President?

A beer or two? Come on, a knee knocking toilet hugging drunk is needed at this time. One that last 3 and a 1/2 years.

And it’s interesting…the different articles name Gates, usually as “Harvard Scholar Henry Gates” in the headline, but refer to Sgt Crowley as “Cambridge Cop,” “Sargeant,” or “policeman.” Or just plain “cop.” In the same headline.
Who’s being minimized?

According to CNN, Gates is away from “home” again — but people have been posting signs on his lawn calling him a “racist”, and supporting the Cambridge cops.

Oh, how Obama makes words so unimportant. When someone makes a potential or questionable, he termed it as stupidly; when he makes a definitive, unquestionable error, he called it boneheaded.

One thing is clear: Gates did not violate any law. Under Massachusetts law, which the police officer was supposedly enforcing, yelling at a police officer is not illegal.
The Cambridge Police should be training their officers to know the difference between legal and illegal conduct. What Gates did was probably not so smart — in general, be nice to people carrying guns — but it wasn’t disorderly conduct. At least not in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
That explains why the charges against Gates were dropped. It wasn’t because the police were trying to defuse the situation. It was because Gates had done nothing illegal.
Arresting someone for doing something that isn’t illegal is pretty stupid.

Gates saw an opportunity to look like a victim and to accuse cops of racism.
He’s just another one of Obama’s obnoxious friends.
And didn’t he have another old pal that didn’t like cops? Ayers
Anyone surprised by Obama’s comments didn’t bother to research his associates in Chicago.

We’ve got to cut Obama some slack.
He only became postracial when he began running for president.
I guess it officially began the day he pretended to throw Rev Wright under the bus.
Wake up America!!!
He’s not who he pretends to be.

Meanwhile: Gates, self-proclaimed spokes-victim for the black and poor — weeks ahead of Obama — has fled to … Martha’s Vineyard, the really white retreat with really polite police.

Gates has quickly backed off.
And I doubt it’s because he is such a great guy.
Obama must have convinced Gates to back off because of the damage it was doing to his (Obama’s) postracial image.

Posted by: danita | Jul 26, 2009 6:48:57 PM
Shouldn’t you be tracking down those 600,000 summer jobs? It’s already July 26th.

It’s too hard for Obama to apologize to cops.
It’s much easier for him to travel the world, bow to tyrants, and apologize for this great country.
We have to take our country back.

“Backing off all the way to Martha’s Vineyard — where Oprah Winfrey’s offerred to host a panel discussion — is pretty ludicrous.”
______________________________________
What’s your bias against Martha’s Vineyard?

I know who is Mr. Obama’s mentor. But who is Mr. Gates’ mentor?

“What’s your bias against Martha’s Vineyard?”
“Bias”? Do you people NEVER stop? :^)
It figures that “imminent” corporate academic Gates WOULD have a house there — still, it’s an unlikely setting from which to affect to represent black people — AND “poor” people, if you please — who actually ARE subject to abuse from police:
“A study by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission found that the cost of living on the island is 60 percent higher than the national average and housing prices are 96 percent higher.”

If I were Sgt. Crowley, I would not want a beer, I want to ask for an apology. If I were Mr. Obama, I wouldn’t offer an apology, I would want to ask for forgiveness. If I were Mr. Gates, I wouldn’t want to ask for forgiveness, I would just simply want a beer.

“She did not know the race of the men when she called 911 because of her distance and that their bodies were turned away from her vantage point.”
So says New England comcast, in
“Lawyer: Gates 911 caller ‘not racist’”.
The police report says that “Lucia Whalen” called out to Crowley at the scene, identified herself as having called 9-1-1, and said she observed “what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch … her suspicions were aroused when she observed one of the men wedging his shoulder into the door,” etc.
Maybe Whalen — since she works up the street from the Gates manse, at the Harvard alumni magazine, — has found it politic to hire a lawyer to tell her what to say? (Is Whalen in fear for her job?}
The thrust of Whalen’s lawyer’s — if Attorney Wendy Murphy IS representing Whalen, rather than some other caller — statement is “I Am Not a Racist”.
Why telling the police the race and gender of two people apparently breaking into a house would be considered “racist” is kind of a head-scratcher, in any case.

Common Sense,
You need to live up to your name. The “pompous attitude” was exhibited by the Professor. If you read the police report this is clearly evident.

Harvard elitist drink beer?
Or do they just drink beer when they want to pretend to be in touch with regular people.
Or maybe when they face a backlash by the public.
Or when an elitist president is tanking in the polls?

If you read the police report, the officer clearly stated that he had determine Gates was the lawful the owner of the house. Then he requested Gates step outside of his house, that where Gates was arrested. Once that officer determine Gates was the owner of the house, the officer should have just left, instead he requested Gates step outside and arrested Gates. The problem with this report is that officer knew there was no legal ground to arrest Gates inside of his house, so Gates was arrest outside.

“Now it makes sense to ask if the arrest of Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. matches the criteria of the Model Penal Code s. 250.2: (1), and it seems to me that the most significant sub-section is 250.2: “(1)(b)…
===
“(b) makes unreasonable noise or offensively coarse utterance, gesture or display, or addresses abusive language to any person present…
===
“If you believe the police report (and this is an essay about matters of law rather than matters of fact), then Professor Gates probably satisfied the criteria of Model Penal Code s. 250.2: (1) by shouting insults at the cop from his front porch, and even though the front porch itself is not a public place, it was sufficiently close to the public sidewalk and street so that “persons in a place to which the public or a substantial group has access” were affected.
“That’s not the end of the story, and there is never an end to any story involving a charge of disorderly conduct. For example…
“Mulvey’s conviction was overturned in COMMONWEALTH vs. JOSEPH MULVEY because the location was insufficiently public…
===
“The defendant’s mother’s property was set back off the road and was surrounded by a variety of different types of fencing. There was a seventy-five to 100 foot long driveway between the road and the house. Entry to the driveway was through a large gate, composed of eight foot high chain link fencing. Green slats had been threaded through the chain link, making it difficult to see through.
===
“The appellate court accordingly overturned Mulvey’s conviction, but Professor Gates’ house is unfenced and adjacent to Ware Street in Cambridge, and the charge of disorderly conduct probably couldn’t have been dismissed on the basis of Mulvey, because…
“It also is possible that behavior occurring on purely private property may be shown to affect or be likely to affect persons in an adjacent or nearby “place to which the public or a substantial group has access,” Model Penal Code § 250.2, such that a disorderly conduct charge would be appropriate.”

No Way “Yo Mama” is fighting words or gives the apparent present ability,
and exposing how a suspect (who was cleared) is lured to the sidewalk to spring some Boilerplate – PC, ‘Disturbing the Police’ trap, is Stupid.

I’m hoping Sgt. Crowley does not fall into this trap. If he does go, I sure hope he caries one of those little pocket recorders. Speaking of recordings, how about the tapes from the arrest. Let’s hear the tapes…

“is Obama crazy?”
THAT’s a darn good question.

No, someone who invades a country that does not have weapons of mass destruction, does not have a connection with 9/11 – and in doing so kills tens of thousands and doubles the national debt – that person might be crazy.

Yelling at a police officer is not illegal in Mass.

________________________________
According to this analysis, it certainly is:
QUOTE
There are several critical elements in this account which bring it into conformity with the “definition” of disorderly conduct, which comes in three layers:
1. Statutes
2. Case law
3. Model code
The most important layer is the model code,
Model Penal Code s. 250.2: “(1) Disorderly Conduct. Offense Defined. A person is guilty of disorderly conduct if, with purpose to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, he:
“(a) engages in fighting or threatening, or in violent or tumultuous behavior; or
“(b) makes unreasonable noise or offensively coarse utterance, gesture or display, or addresses abusive language to any person present; or
“(c) creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition by any act which serves no legitimate purpose of the actor.
“‘Public’ means affecting or likely to affect persons in a place to which the public or a substantial group has access . . . .”
But this language does not appear in the Massachusetts statute under the authority of which disorderly conduct is ordinarily prosecuted in Massachusetts
The relevant Massachusetts statute (G. L. c. 272, § 53) is a relic of the colonial era
constitutional challenges to G. L. c. 272, § 53 are avoided by de facto adherence to the Model Penal Code s. 250.2: (1).
ENDQUOTE

I trust the American people to judge the matter for themselves… let’s hear the tapes!

4) In that state, it is not against the law to yell at a police officer.

What’s in Crowley’s police report, does NOT, however, refer to Whalen’s 9-1-1 call (as was previously stated here), but to what Whalen said (or, perhaps, did not say) at the scene.
Note that Patrolman Carlos Figueroa, whose report also can be found online, also spoke to the person who identified herself as Lucia Whalen.
—–/
OK. You are much more detailed, although your accusation that misrepresentation connotes that I deliberately tried to do something that I didn’t. My point is the witness tells a different story than what Crowley wrote in the police report. Gates also said Crawley’s report was not what actually happpened — regardless of what the other members of the police gang have said.

“let’s hear the tapes!”
–> With the Obama organization acting more like the Nixon administration every day, it’s not inconceivable that a Rose Marie Wood situation — “missing” tape — could develop in Cambridge.
THAT will leave LEAKED tapes — inevitably followed by various bureaucratic officials’ dueling pronouncements on the completeness/authenticity thereof, and by more White House meltdown.

“The tapes will provide important context to the officer’s report. Surely you support the immediate release.”
_________________________________
Why not? I’m just pointing out the officer cooks cooks his own goose by describing how he invited the yelling man outside his own home and then arrested the man for yelling outside.

“My point is the witness tells a different story than what Crowley wrote in the police report.”
–> A witness who works for Harvard suddenly says, days after the fact, that she DIDN’T say the people she saw apparently breaking in “appeared to be” black men?
NOT a big deal … UNLESS the tapes show that she DID in fact say so.
Should THAT be the case, there’ll be the interesting revelation of how Whalen came to change her story, and to do so through a non-Harvard lawyer who just happens to do a talk radio show.

Entrapment? Wrong.
Invited the yelling man outside his home? Wrong.
Clearly Crowley was prepared to leave and Gates wouldn’t hear of it.
Clearly, Crowley said if he had any OTHER questions, he would speak with him outside. Gates followed him out and continued the SAME conduct as in the house.
From the Police Report:
“With the Harvard University identification in hand, I radioed my findings to ECC on channel two and PREPARED TO LEAVE. Gates again asked for my name which I began to provide. Gates began to yell over my spoken words by accusing me of being a racist police officer and leveling threats that he wasn’t someone to mess with.
“I told Gates that I was leaving his residence and that if he HAD ANY OTHER QUESTIONS regarding the matter, I would speak with him outside of the residence.”

The imminent Ogletree, Esq., meanwhile, is presently pushing The One’s position via Geraldo Rivera. It is truly disgusting.

“It’s inconceivable that Imminent Scholar Gates’ Harvard uber-lawyer Mr. Ogletree wasn’t all over witness Lucia Whalen, Harvard employee, by about two hours after the police report was filed”
That’s the same Harvard uber-lawyer who ggave out Gates full address (street nname and number) in a PBS radio interview. How out of touch do you have to be to do that?

Gates prevented Crawley from leaving how?

But completely untrue! Obama loved his White mama and grandma. His color is black, just as Crawley’s report says the color of the woman that called the police on Gates is White.

Yup, saw Ogletree. Very defensive, and straining for excuses. Obama and Gates are misusing the office of the presidency to dispense some “equal justice under the law” that is more equal for some than others. (Those that are connected.)
Perhaps the next time a cop stops me for speeding, the president can speak up for me at a press conference, then invite the hapless officer and myself to tea. Equal justice, heh?
The Oval Office is being run like a crony-centric, corrupt, Chicago style backroom. How hard is Sgt. Crowley’s arm being twisted to convince him to participate in this charade?
Crowley did nothing wrong. He did his job, maintaining the peace, and enforcing the law, using his state-sanctioned authority and judgment, and is now being slandered as a racist. Obama is handling this in a divisive, polarizing manner, and Sgt. Crowley is the victim.
They are casting Crowley as the bad guy, when he is the only one among them that actually understands and appreciates the damage done by racial profiling. But that’s not enough for Obama, Gates and Ogletree. No, no, no. You see, Crowley is white. He’s the racist, until he proves otherwise.
Liberals who support Obama, like Sgt. Crowley, do indeed have a teachable moment here. You can pander to every special interest group you want, but if you are white. you will never be “okay”.
African American males now believe being uncooperative and disrespectful to law enforcement is okay, and that the president himself will back them up. No orderly society can operate this way. This is so inappropriate, it’s pitiful, and Obama has no role to play whatsoever in this local law enforcement matter. Pathetic.
And these are Harvard-trained lawyers. Oh, wait a minute, maybe that’s the problem…
Some sectors of this society thought Obama’s election would bring us into a post-racial society. I know, it seems implausibly ignorant now, but it sure seemed plausible during the campaign!
The abuse of Sgt. Crowley, staining him as a symbol of white oppression when he has been at the forefront of preventing racism in the force, is a corrupt and inexcusable act.
To use this incident as the launching point for some kind of “honest dialogue” about police and race is corrupt and ludicrous. This White House meeting will only validate in everyone’s eyes, especially African American males, that it’s okay to flip off the police because of historical wrongs.
Stand behind the legitimacy of law enforcement if you want a secure, safe and ordered society. If you want chaos and anarchy, encourage B.S. like this. The only good reason for a meeting at the WH now is for Obama to correct the mistake he made in conveying to the African American community that it’s understandable to disrespect and not cooperate with the police, and nothing further.
And, if Gates and Obama are lucky, maybe Sgt. Crowley will show up and let them off the hook.

Keep up the good fight, danita!

Watch out White House Security Staff. Gates my cry foul and pull that race card out on you when he’s asked to pass thru the security checkpoints, metal detectors, etc…..

I hope Crowley turns him down. Obama is pimping him.

The President made the most serious blunder of his undistinguished political career by taking sides and supporting an unstable friend of his own race without first gathering facts. The upcoming beer farce will not restore the President’s credibility of which he has none at the moment.

Will Obama make his formal apology to the police officer at this get together?

Maybe at the photo-op this event will provide, the three men can release the 911 tapes of the incident. Then the President and Mr. Gates can offer an apology to Sgt. Crowley and the CPD at the same time.

The three-way conversation over beer is a political gimmick. The President should disinvite Gates and tender a public apology to Sergeant Crowley.
The President shillyshallied for quite a while before he severed his relationship with Reverend Wright.
In that case the President was being unfairly judged for the divisive and incendiary words and persona of his pastor. In this case the President himself has committed a grievous blunder.

Invite a cop to the WH to show the working class what a regular guy Obama is.
After Crowley leaves Obama and Gates will break out the wine and $100 a lb. steak.
Obama thinks a beer will make this go away–Crowley should politely refuse the invitation.

Obama just wants the photo-op.
I hope Crowley won’t go.
Obama was wrong and he should apologize to all cops.

Barry should ditch Skip and say sorry to Jim.

after the last 8 years of Bush and Cheney, that would be a funny statement if it wasn’t so misguided and sad.

Wow, a lot of mindless talking point regurgitation going on.
