Verum Serum has the video. I am glad that not only is Crowley refusing to back down, but his fellow men and women in uniform are standing by him. Kelly King’s words are especially powerful.
My hope is that teens and youth in this country, black, white, Latino, etc, pay special attention to her words, rather than the President’s, Gates’, the Governor’s, and the Mayor’s. May youth all over our nation look up to her example, rather than Gates’.
Last thing: you gotta see the comments section in the VS post. I ask: who is the one being racist?
Good post–the situation and words of President Obama have made the jobs of police officers that much more difficult.
That video doesn’t mean jack!! What else do you suppose they would say with Crowley standing next to them? Commonsense says that they will show solidarity or else one of their white colleagues might not hurry to their aid in a situation where backup is needed.
We see this all the time with athletes and Catholic priests and doctors, etc. You stick up for your own because, if you don’t, they may not be there when you need ‘em (just to send you a message about breaking rank).
RT,
I recall you saying the following a week or two ago:
” ‘Truth’ is in the eye of the beholder.”
and
“There’s more than one way to connect the dots.”
Seems like you’ve changed your mind on that, judging by your last few comments (including this one.).
