Yep... just like in da hood. Black complain about lack of cops in their hood.... but when arrests are made, its racial profiling...even tho 90%+ are black in that neighborhood....

LOL.. I'm not from the "hood" but I've known black people who were. I've never heard anyone complaining about a LACK of cops in the "hood".


I work in da hood....the community wants the muggers, rapist, and burglars arrested, but not the drug dealers, hookers, or fences....these are looked at as harmless(dey ain'ts doing nuttin") community assets...people are weird that way....

Re: Black Harvard Professor Arrested After Being Accused of Breaking Into His Own Home
The cop said this"He was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after police said he "exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior." He was released later that day on his own recognizance. An arraignment was scheduled for Aug. 26."

Disorderly conduct on his own property?

Tumultuous behavior?

After the person had shown his ID, which he did, the cop should of left. PERIOD>>>>

His ID defines that he is the person that lives at the address.

Cop had to "save face"!

What we don't know is who is the neighbor, did he or she have a problem with the professor in the past?

If I saw one of my neighbors busting in their own door, I would not be calling the cops. I know my neighbors....
What about the civil rights of the professor?

You know about the powerplays that cops are doing to 'everyone', right?

I hope the professor wins big time over this in court.

Re: Black Harvard Professor Arrested After Being Accused of Breaking Into His Own Home
I think the lady who called was doing the right thing to protect the neighborhood, the police should of checked out the ID and then left it alone. That would piss anyone off if you were charged with breaking into your own home and would probably be a smart ass to the police.
The part I feel is police overload maybe not raceist, is when they found out they were not breaking in they should of said sorry for the mix up and not charge the man with anything.

Re: Black Harvard Professor Arrested After Being Accused of Breaking Into His Own Home
Was this a racist incident?
Yes. But it wasn't the police that were racist, it was the "professor".
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 728718



About 12 yrs ago I was witnessing what I thought was a break in and called 911. Police showed up and took away two (white) kids. I found out that it was one of the kids that lived there and a friend spending the night who had left the keys inside the house. Unfortunately for the parents, the police apparently see a bong on a table and from there it got worse. They end up finding 2 lbs of (bagged for resale) weed and numerous bags of meth. I'd been living across the street from them for 5 yrs and from where I was at, it looked like 2 people breaking into a home. I could tell they were white, but couldn't make out their faces. Like the professor, the kids were inside the house when police showed up. Also like the professor, it looked like 2 people breakin into a house. I would have called police regardless of the color of potential assholes tryin to take what isn't theirs. He could have let them in and showed pictures on the mantle of him accepting awards. Once the police went inside of the house in my case, they found a completely different story. In the professor's case, had someone actually broke in and police hadn't shown up, seems he would've called it racism too. He needs to tell authorities and neighbors to only call police when they see NON BLACK people layin a shoulder into his door.

20 yrs ago I was picked up by police while waiting for a bus after work. The reason being was they were looking for the Fife rapist and I resembled him BECAUSE I'M WHITE. Luckily I didn't freak out and had ID and work numbers to prove who I was and where I'd been.

Shit happens and he should have dealt with it waaaaay different with his so called upper crust edjumacashun. Educated people with a chip on their shoulder are many times more dangerous than the thugs actually breakin into your home. He's an ASSHOLE.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 627137

Fencing should be illegal and the fencers should be arrested.

The acts of buying/selling drugs and prostitution is harmless and victimless in itself. The fact they are illegal gives the gangs the power to control those "industries". And course rival gangs will fight over who controls it in their neighborhood. As a result often innocent bystanders are caught in the middle. None of this would happen if both of these industries were legal and regulated by the local government.

Re: Black Harvard Professor Arrested After Being Accused of Breaking Into His Own Home
Something a lot of articles fail to mention about this incident, is that the cop was in plain clothes. Skip Gates had every right to ask for his identification and name to make sure that he was indeed a police officer. I know I have been approached by plain clothes officers and have asked the same. The cop probably thought who the fuck does this uppity N---er think he is, questioning me? Once the cops realized that Gates lived there, they should have left period. The had no right to be on that property as no crime was being committed. But no, the plain clothes officer radios for backup, and that is when nearly a dozen officers arrive at Gates' front porch.

If anyone agrees that being arrested for disorderly conduct, in your own house(which is the only charge in this case), is acceptable, then I guess you will be happy living in a police state.

He was arrested because of this:

He was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after police said he "exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior."

...not because he "was black"

Seems to me the police were doing their job. I have called police before after I awoke to men outside my house, and they asked me for ID to make sure I was the house owner and not the Robber, which I gladly showed them.

he should have been happy they were there to prevent a robbery showed kindness to them and showed them his ID.

If I were a policeman I know I would get really annoyed if someone started screaming racist at me while I was trying to protect someone's home.
