Wow...
This is really exciting stuff...
Now the jury is still out on the Professor Henry Louis Gates vs Jim Crow-ley case... But (yes, big fat too sensitive to be a police officer but in the room) it is obvious to most that Jim Crow-ley is very sensitive... According to one report, Professor Gates could have told Jim Crow-ley to "go F_ _ K himself" and not have broken any laws...
"In contempt of court, you get loud and abusive in a courtroom, and it's against the law," says Shane, now a professor of criminal justice at John Jay who specializes in police policy and practice. "With contempt of cop, you get loud and nasty and show scorn for a law enforcement officer, but a police officer can't go out and lock you up for disorderly conduct because you were disrespectful toward them." The First Amendment allows you to say pretty much anything to the police. "You could tell them to go f--k themselves," says Shane, "and that's fine." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1912777,00.html
It is also obvious from the news conference yesterday that Jim Crow-ley, an 11 year veteran of the Cambridge Police force is Stupid... His own defense was from a legal professional that stated this eleven year veteran did not have full understanding of the legal ramifications of the crime "disorderly conduct" in the field... If anyone works in profession for eleven years and don't have a firm grip of his/her discipline, that person could easily be considered stupid... You can become a brain surgen in eleven years... Dahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Let's look at where supposely Professor Gates was being disorderly??? Let me see the reports says:
"According to the Cambridge police report, Gates exhibited "loud and tumultuous behavior, in a public place" that "caused citizens passing by this location to stop and take notice while appearing surprised and alarmed."
The issue of whether or not Gates — first in his home and later on his front porch — was in a public place has sparked plenty of debate..." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1912777,00.html
Now the general public must be very alarmed at the fact that according to Jim Crow-ley your own home is a public place... Technically, you can't be naked in a public place... Opss, we are all breaking the law each time we go to the restroom... Wow... That means that according to Jim Crow-ley an officer can walk into your home uninvited, charge you with disturbing the peace, and drag you off to jail... Oh least we forget, he can make a commotion on your front porch which causes unknown people to rubberneck then use these unknown passer byers against you...
Now that's what I call a badge bearing, gun totting, "Privacy Pirate - to the N- Degree... General Public beware, your rights of privacy, even in your own home, according to Jim Crow-ley has all been wiped away... Oh did I fail to mention that all this comes without a "search warrant..." Hummmmmmmmmmmm!!!
Oh and that's not all, you do not have the right to ask any officer, according to Jim Crow-ley, for their Identification... Now ladies and gentlemen, here is where the jury is not still out... Failure of Sgt Jim Crow-ley to render immediately his identification when asked is illegal... As a public servant it is the right of the citizen to ask and be given this information upon request... I hope this point has not fallen on deaf ears... When the inmates control the jails then there is lawlessness... Therefore just as it is illegal for a citizen to not provide proof of identification to a law enforcement officer the same goes for the officer...
Professor Gates, should sue the Prestigious Cambridge Police dept for False detainment, harassment, pain and suffering... If Professor Gates does not follow thru with a law suit against this rogue-filled police dept, he is letting all the rest of us law abiding citizen down... Without check and balances Police officers will walk right into our homes, shoot us down, handcuff us, call for back up, then charge us with disorderly conduct as we lay there bleeding to death on the floor...
The jury may be hung for now, but (big we aint stupid but in the room) eventually it is going to become very clear that if this matter is not properly addressed and the prestigious policeman Jim Crow-ley is not harshly reprimanded he will set the precedent that all of our homes are public places and our constitutional right of privacy is forever gone... I can see lawyers using this precedent to get police officers off on countless cases where an officer say he use the Jim Crow-ley judgement rule to enter a woman's house - who just happened to be in the tub... Oh, let not forget that said officer will pull her out of the tub, handcuff her, and charge her with disorderly conduct in her own home...
Wow...
The Jim Crow-ley rule is one we can live without...
"Do you feel me..."
"I know you do!!!"
"Let me hear you say, "Yes, yes, yes we can!!!"
