13. Crowley flew off the handle, too--why can't anyone in the media admit that?
Edited on Sun Jul-26-09 12:20 PM by rocktivity
Once Gates showed his ID and proof of address, Crowley should have gone on his way. Instead, he ordered Gates outside to punish him for "flying off the handle" with a phony disorderly conduct bust. So what if the charges were dropped--the real aim was to "remind" Gates who has the "real" power. Not ethical, not professional, not good community relations. Obama's remarks were unfortunate only in the sense that it provided Crowley and the media with a weapon of mass diversion.
