I'm with Gene Lyons on this...
"So a Harvard professor who played the "you don't know who you're messing with" card to a cop got an unscheduled ride downtown. Boo hoo hoo."

1. Go fuck yourselves.
Edited on Thu Jul-30-09 09:58 AM by Gman2
I am white. I was awakened at midnite by four cops saying they can come in whether or not they have a warrant. I am a med marijuana patient. They handcuffed me, and searched my entire condo. Rogue fuckers. They disparaged me, as they pidgeonholed me. I fought back. I went into a two hour rant, about how the system really is. How med mar worked, they hadnt a clue. I was very uppity, but never raised my voice. I said I would have to find that crying woman ghost. I live alone. The cop told me some advice when he left. He said that my not allowing them in immediately, was the thing that made them certain that I was guilty. THERE ARE NO FOURTH AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS.

8. And this ISNT a racial incident, other than Gates is black.
When he assumed it was about his being black, he might be mistaken, but the arrogant always righteous cops, should be questioned, as they are really the ones getting UPPITY. With arms, and their word obviously trumps. When it is your turn to face the always right cops, and you are innocent, youll change your privileged tune. It aint fun, staring down a bunch of guys that think it FUNNY that they ruin your life. I made them hurt, for their judgementalism. They tried REAL hard to prove to me as they left, that there REALLY was a neighbor reporting that I had a screaming fight with a woman, as I slept.

9. And I had just taken out a rogue cop/judge scheme a month earlier, in that same substation
A crooked reinterpretation of the vehicle code. Knowingly. I got them to say really incriminating things in court. They convicted me. I appealed. I said they were operating a mordida scheme. I spoke in STRONG, yet accurate language. The attorney general of the state, agreed with me, and prolly spanked them good. I made them guilty as hell. The PURPLE R1 YAMAHA, was oggled by one cop, and within two shifts, the crooked cop, of the crooked cop/judge team, was told of the guy that scolded them for two hours, with the bike of the guy that brought him down. I am now public and activist, to protect mysef against rogue cop action. I have developed quite a docie on them, where crooked action against me is concerned. Any further action will resuult in my going SCOTUS all over their asses, if it is the last thing I do, in this life.

4. So now we're agreeing with conservative websites
saying liberals don't know what they're talking about, that are ignoring the facts to make it sound as if an arrogant, egotistical university professor is obviously far worse than an arrogant, egotistical cop.

Why? We might rightly ask ourselves that.

6. Gene Lyons isn't a conservative. He's one of the very few 'liberal' columnists in Arkansas. He

10. No, were kneejerk trusting the cops. They are the barrier between savage
nature, and ourselves, and they never let you forget it. I have had those phone cop ball cons threaten me, with cop force, if I didnt give. I called the head rogue cop my pal, and he said, I aint your pal, pal, and I said, welllllllllllll, my employee then. The cop in the background said, you are unemployed, so no. I had to agree. There were other right wing clashes as well. Fun stuff.

5. This is one time I disagree with Gene. He is using the police report as his only source and we now
know that it does not agree with the woman that made the 911 call. I believe that Gates 'flew off the handle' and that Crowley acted improperly by arresting him.
