Blue Wall of Silence
For those of you who citing kelly king and lashley interviews to give credence that crowley was in the right and it wasn't racially motivated, just remember the blue wall of silence.

As a BLACK woman who lives in the BLACK community and is active in the that community, the majority of the black community does not feel like king and lashley.
The majority community has always been able to find some handkerchiefs to pose as post racial America, ie clarence thomas, armstrong williams, michelle malkin, michael steele,ron christie, etc.

Definition of Blue Wall of Silence:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Code_of_Silence


Ironically, it is similar to the code of silence in organized crime, like the Omertà.

Studies demonstrate that most police feel that the code is applicable in cases of "illegal brutality or bending of the rules in order to protect colleagues from criminal proceedings," but not to illegal actions with an "acquisitive motive."<1><2>

Nevertheless, cases such as the Rampart Scandal demonstrate that blue code culture can sometimes extend to cover-ups of every level of crime, acquisitive or otherwise.]

As a disclaimer:
I'm not saying that it was racially motivated, but crowley profile Gates like a mofo and wanted to put this uppity negro in his place.
