Latest on Cambridge Police Officer

Turns out Sgt. James Crowley, the Cambridge police officer who arrested Harvard Professor Henry Gates, Obama's buddy, is an expert on racial profiling who was hand-picked by former Police Commissioner, Ronny Watson, who is black, to teach police academy students about respecting ethnic minorities. Read the full story here.

A reminder to the White House: "Engage brain before opening mouth." And remember Forrest Gump, "Stupid is as stupid does."

I'm glad you pointed out Officer Crowley is a diversity instructor within the police department. Because it supports the idea "that those who can, do a job; and those who can't-teach. He should stick to the classroom and leave the subtle art of policing to the guys on the streets.

Interesting comment in view of the fact that the man arrested was a teacher. But maybe you forgot about that when you were posting.

So, I collected all the sites or articles (more than 250 sites or articles) related to this hot topic "Cambridge Police Unit Demands Apology from Obama".
