Professor Gates

[Tyme2fish]

i just graduated from college not long ago and i had some professors that were extremists and i really wondered why i paid to take a class with a nut job like them.....

Not to hijack a thread. but college eletist, ivory tower professors can be among the dumbest people on this planet when it comes to common sense and how the world REALLY works.

Their entire existence is spent teaching 18 to 22 year olds year after year after year and eventually they come to believe that they(the professors) are the smartest people living.
They are insulated in their own domain and have a lot of power and control over their students.

Yes,the professors have knowledge,experience,and most importantly to them tenure in their small field of expertise, but get them into the real world and they have no clue as to what makes this the greatest country in the world.

The officer involved was HAND PICKED by a BLACK police commissioner............to TEACH a class.....for 6 YEARS...........on racial profiling.....

Crowley is a police academy expert on understanding racial profiling and has taught a class on the subject for five years at the Lowell Police Academy after being hand-picked for the job by former police Commissioner Ronny Watson, who is black, said Academy Director Thomas Fleming.

Either he is really **** good at it...........or I't didn't happen........I suspect, the good Prof, is trying to make some SMACK off of this..........too bad the SMACK that didn't occur is the SMACKDOWN the bafoon professor needed.......

Just looking at him makes me want to smack the CRAP out of him.

Yea he kinda reminds me of Louis aka ''troublemaker'' Coleman. Man.........slavery is over get over it, let it go. Why do so many of these type's continue this cycle of hate by keeping it constantly on the front burner.

I worked here in the office with a fellow for 15 years he has since moved on to another job. He is a black man. A educated, clean cut, well spoken, considerate, Christian, caring black man. In fact I was proud to call him my friend and still stay in touch to this very day. He grew up and still lives in the same house he has fixed up on Cecil Avenue in the West End of Louisville. He has never been arrested for anything and asks nothing from society that he doesn't feel he has worked hard for at his job or civically.

What's my point you ask??? A minority of any ethnic background has endless oppurtunities in this country today. He chose a path which was layed down by his parents, his mother was a wonderful person, to be a productive citizen in society. He did not choose a life of crime and growing up feeling that everybody owed him something because he is black. He payed his own way through college, WORKING, to get his education and better his life and to take care of his mother as she fought horrible health issues the last 7 to 8 years of her life. These are the kinda of people that I admire and and consider productive citizens and I don't give a rat's butt what color they are. I personally think that alot of this racial crap is way overblown. I also think as did the man I just spoke of thought that alot of the inner city young people bring alot of their problems on themselves with the general perception they have casted upon their own kind.

Put yourself in Ryan's shoes just for a second. He is patroling his beat and there is not much going on. Throughout his years as a police officer MANY of the arrests he has made have been young black males up to no good. He see's a Hoopte coming down the street with 4 black males in it in the middle of a normal work day. Three of them are wearing Dew rags in a gang fashion, Ryan knows what I'm talking about. They are doing 5 miles over the speed limit, bid deal..........but does he check them out and run their I'D's? Would you??? Statistics say that at least one or more of those 4 in that car have a felony warrant for their arrest, check it out I guarantee it. Is that racial profling or is it Ryan doing his job correctly. For me it's him doing his job keeping the city and it's residents safe. I read something recently that said almost 60% of serious crimes are committed by young black men in this country. These are facts compiled by the criminal justice system in this country.

Just put on the Cop shoes and walk the path in your mind, and ask yourself....What would I do.

Ryan, I hope you didn't mind me using your name as a reference, of course I was just metaforically speaking and was not trying to imply anything.

I remember as a teen that sometimes I would come home from school and the entire house would be locked up and I wouldn't have a key. The only way in was through the side window into the garage. I'm sure it didn't look good seeing two feet sticking out of a window. If someone had called the police on me, I would have been nothing but polite and respectful and cooperative. I think the Prof should have thanked the policeman for doing his job. What if noone had come to check it out after it being called in. I'm sure there would have been some talk of racism for that also. Bottom line is the police have a very difficult job that is made worse by those who will not cooperate and are combative.

As for the President, he should have waited for all the details to come out before responding. I know it was his friend, but he is the President of the United States. Show some smarts. Now he has basically told millions of people that it is ok to act the way this man acted. Can't be good for the police.

Before the Colemans, Sharptons, Jesse Jacksons, and now GATE's of the WORLD started calling this RACIAL profiling.............it was called GOOD POLICE WORK.............

I guess times sure have changes.......but NOW it may be called profiling because nearly 50% of all young black men in this country have a RECORD. How the HELL can you do your job and it not be called profiling.

When every 1 in 2 black kids you run into fit the PROFILE of a DRUG DEALER, a MURDERER, a GANGSTER, whatever...........

If you have a rap sheet PAGES long, put their butts away forEVER......I don't care.......better yet.......PUT a bullet in their head........

BTW......I'm watching Wave 3 NEWS as I write this...........first 3 stories....about YOUNG BLACK THUGS.............Imagine that........No stories about young WHITE THUGS...........hm.


Now.........all my lib friends here.........send me email or back channel crap about how MUCH a RACIST I am.........

Maybe there are so many minorities in prison because they commit the majority of crimes. I also have black friends and we discuss racial issues almost every day. We have jointly come to the conclusion that there are dirt bags in all races but there is a larger percentage of minority dirt bags. I still judge a person on how they act individually. But if minorities are obviously committing more crimes then they should be watched more closely by law enforcement. If gang graffiti is a problem why should the cops be pulling over 70 year old womaen? Profiling is a scientifically proven police method so they should use it!
