at the beginning of the video there is a picture of the poster.
anyway, this has already been posted. and i hope the OP never accuses anyone else of "race baiting" because as far as i can see this had nothing to do with race.
oh and the yelly guy started in with "this used to be america". it's obvious that when the cop says "well it ain't no more" in response, he is dismissing the guy's over the top hysterics with sarcasm. you can hear it in his voice.
that being said, as i said in the other thread, unless there really is a law against displaying political signs on school property, the cop is in the wrong here.
if this becomes a national news story, i'm sure obama will say the same thing. but altercations like this with the cops happen all the time; the gates story was a big deal because gates is a famous person. i will be surprised if this becomes big news.

Police Officers are (or let's say should be) held to a MUCH higher standard than this. There is no room for sarcasm from the cop.
At least the 2nd thread on this. It's just a bonehead guy wanting to hang an offensive sign on school property that wasn't allowed and the cop WHO NEVER said anything about RACE got pissed and made the stupid "This aint America no more statement". That about sums it up.
THE OP IS CLEARLY RACE BAITING.
You're so clearly backwards. Did Sgt. Crowley ever mention race? You stick your nose up high for the black population, thats for damn sure.
i'm repeating myself from the other thread, but i find it interesting that not one person on the right has said anything about the way he's shrieking at the cop. i have a feeling that if it was an anti-war protester in that situation (and many, many of them have been), people on the right would say he deserved to be arrested, tasered, beaten for acting so disrespectful to a cop.
it wouldn't have been right, but i wouldn't have been surprised if he was arrested. you just don't talk to a cop that way.
tell me, what did you think about the mass arrests at virtually every large protest in the last 5-10 years? what do you think about the arrests of people who were simply standing in the streets during a protest, let alone people who were simply protesting, or filming the police as the guy in this video is doing, only without the yelling? does that outrage you as much as this guy getting hassled?
another parallel from the other thread:
a harvard professor is approached by the police when he is doing nothing wrong. he becomes belligerent. he is arrested. the right says "yay!"
a town hall protester is approached by the police when he is doing nothing wrong. he becomes belligerent. nothing of any consequence really happens to him. the right says "boooo!"
again, the cop was in the wrong. he should be disciplined, and he should not be acting that way. but the hypocrisy here is staggering. granted, i saw it from the left in the other thread too, with people saying the protester should have been tasered, etc. he has a right to speak his mind and protest.
You're so clearly backwards. Did Sgt. Crowley ever mention race? You stick your nose up high for the black population, thats for damn sure.
so it makes it ok to cry racism in an incident that doesn't have anything to do with race because you think professor gates did the same thing?
didn't your mom ever teach you that two wrongs don't make a right?
