The arrest of Dr. Gates in Cambridge. MA and charges of racism claim another victim - Lucia Whalen ,the witness. Once again, people wihout having all the information in hurl charges of racism against a citizen who dutifully called in what she believed to be suspicious activity.
This doesn't bode well for anyone who sees a what they believe is a crime in progress and report it to law enforcement. What is going to happen with the interviews of potential witnesses or sources in the future? Neighborhood convasses by law enforcement has just dramatically increased in difficulty. All fueled by biased, shoot from the hip, ego driven, hate filled morons!
What does that say about a small number of people who are quick to rekindle and fuel racism and the perception of racism in our country. Of course our media can only provide coverage of the dark side of each case. Then you have one ignorant police officer who exposes his bias by publishing more hate on a blog site.
It looks to me like some folks just don't have any purpose in life unless they can fan the fires of racism and hate and keep it alive for their own ends.
My advice - "Engage brain before putting mouth in gear!"

I've not heard " contempt of Sgt." used.
Why did the Sgt. not wait for a patrol unit to respond?
Now, he placed himself on point & was unable to extricate himself when things needed defusing.
Of course it went downhill from there............
