Sgt. James Crowley Of The Cambridge Police Department Speaks Out Against Obama's Comments
Sgt. James Crowley defends his arrest on national television. From what we have learned, he has every right to do so. Unlike the suggestion made by the president that race played an issue here, Sgt. James Crowley responded to a citizen call to the Cambridge Police Department. According to the police report, someone called the police to report suspicious activity. Sgt. Crowley went to check it out. He knocked on Gates' door to ask him about this complaint, and Gates went off on a tirade, accusing Crowley of being a racist. In an attempt to calm Gates, Crowley went out of his way to contact the Harvard University Police Department. Gates never calmed down and was arrested. Based on the reports and Sgt. Crowley own statements - rightfully so.
Keep up the great work Sgt. !!!!!!
Cambridge police are dropping the charges -
In a joint statement, Cambridge and the police department said they made the recommendation to the Middlesex County district attorney and the district attorney's office "has agreed to enter a nolle prosequi in this matter," meaning that it will not be pursued.
