These are probably the same "Christians" who shot a doctor in the lobby of his church.
Democrats think the glass is half full. Republicans think the glass is theirs. Libertarians want to break the glass, because they think a conspiracy created it.
Consequences cascade like dominoes. Isn't it enough that charges were not filed and Crowley and Gates have met and talked at the White House and have agreed to disagree?
Do some out there just have to continue to cause more disruption and pain?
Despite rapprochement with the Cambridge police officer who arrested him inside his home for disorderly conduct, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. says that university officials have told him to consider moving in the wake of death threats he’s received since the incident reached the national stage.
“You should die; you’re a racist,” read one e-mail, according to reports. While promoting his new book on Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday, the professor also said he’d been the subject of bomb threats as well.
Gates has changed his email address and cell phone number as a result.
Someone posted signs outside Gates’ Ware Street home July 25 calling him “shameful” and a “racist,” the professor said.
Since the White House tete-a-tete, Gates has taken a more humorous tone in speaking of his arrest, saying that he and police officer James Crowley “discussed plans to take in a Celtics or Red Sox game or have their families meet up for a meal.”
“I offered to get his kids into Harvard if he doesn’t arrest me again,” Gates told a crowd Sunday.
The Crowley/Gates situation is in the process of being worked through, but I can't say the same about the situation below. These headlines made me so sick that I had trouble opening the article and watching the video.
Keep in mind that this back yard was filled with very small children.
I wonder just what this PD will have to say about this one.
A child’s Virginia baptism ended up being a real shocker.
Responding to a noise complaint in Prince William County, police sought to quell the assembled crowd — who they said were making too much of a racket — by firing a Taser at the child’s grandfather and at the pregnant mother of the baptized child.
The officers said they placed a call to the homeowner, who they said was intoxicated and refused to reduce the volume.
The homeowner, 55, is a church family counselor and bible study teacher. His son, Edgar Rodriguez, claims he was Tasered three times after producing his ID for police. The elder Rodriguez was arrested for public intoxication in his own backyard.
The two say police used excessive force to quiet down “a backyard party.” A home video of the scene shows a relatively tame event.
The pregnant mother of the baptized child was also Tasered in the back after officers averred she was assaulting a police officer, and is now being held separate from her family by Customs and Immigration Enforcement.
