18. hire a lawyer
Why? Because he is afraid of being fired... there is no reason to keep in the force such outspoken racist... can you imagine how he would treat other minorities? He doesn't deserve to be in the force and bringing down the image of good cops... Give me a breaK!!!

14. Not only that, but he CC'd a bunch of friends as well.
So, what are the chances that his friends are the same types of racist douchebags he is. Pretty high I am guessing or he probably wouldn't have just assumed that they would agree with his viewpoint. I bet the term jungle monkey comes up pretty frequently in the conversations in this circle of friends. (they should publicize his friends' names too). I am sure that family of his is pretty much exactly the same as he is.

That lawyer gave one of the stupidest explanations that I have ever heard. I can't even be bothered to explain the stupidity and I am pretty sure that it requires no explanation here in DU.


Can you kill people like this? I mean seriously, wouldn't you consider this person to be too stupid to live? Please Darwinism, hurry up on this one.


For any gamblers out there, I am giving 1000/1 odds that this guy is a birther. Any takers?

24. I believe his comment was directed at Prof. Gates.
I would think it would be the Prof. who should accept or not accept the apology.
And, in no way am I defending the comments from this idiotic individual, however, if he apologized and understands why, what he said was so wrong, shouldn't forgiveness be considered. What good comes from continuing to hate?

One racist douchebag paying another racist douchebag to represent, exhibit and excuse racist douchebaggery.

21. LOL.. that lawyer! oh gosh.. "he didn't call him a jungle monkey, his actions were like one"
OH SWEET LORD, HELP US!

Seriously, this asshat has the nerve to say "I'm sorry I wrote that", not, "I'm sorry that I'm a RACIST and I shouldn't have these feelings, and I will get help"....


FIRE HIS ASS!


SUCKY ASSED COP - THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE HE CAME FROM!!!!

May they all come outta the woodwork over this issue, and in the future about Obama.

22. Jungle Monkey?
I think you mean bunny. Geez, if you're not even going to get the racist euphemisms right. :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :puke: :puke: :puke: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Absolutely seriously, though, the fact that these disgusting backwards ass neanderthals are widespread in our police forces is sickening. His ass should be fired.

23. That was a totally wrong comment and is inexcusable. He has apologized and I hope he understands
now why what he said was so bad. He sounded like a complete idiot.

26. APOLOGY
Edited on Fri Jul-31-09 12:07 AM by maglatinavi
JUNGLE BUNNY, THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE PHRASE I THOUGHT MY FRIEND WAS JOKING... JUNGLE MONKEY LOL! THE MAN IS A RACIST NO MATTER WHAT EUPHEMISM HE USES. THE CAMBRIDGE POLICE SHOULD FIRE HIM FOR PUTTING THE DEPT. IN JEOPARDY, FOR MAKING INHUMANE COMMENT OF A CITIZEN AND WORSE, SAYING E WOULD HAVE TASERED THE PROFESSOR... I WOULDN'T LIKE TO COME ACROSS HIM IN ANY SITUATION. HE IS A DANGEROUS ELEMENT IN A POSITION OF POWER... WHAT DO THE LAW, CODES, ORDINANCES ETC. SAY ABOUT THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR? i AM SURE THAT SOMETHING HAS BEEN LEGISLATED; IF NOT, LETS ADVOCATE FOR LEGISLATION TO CURB THE KIND OF ABUSERS, POTENTIAL OR NOT IN THE POLICE FORCES.
