re: #474 Racer X

I see our resident lefty apologists are coming out to deflect and move the goal posts.

Gates was wrong.
Obama was wrong to jump in.
Crowley was doing his job. There is no evidence whatsoever that he broke the law or deviated from his department’s policy.

Is it that hard to admit?

Nope - not hard to admit. I agree with 1 and 2. I don’t completely agree with 3. The part of his job that he did was very subjective. He was not locked into a course of action, and the decisions he made - much like the decisions Gates made exacerbated the situation.

BTW - i’m not too liberal, but I don’t understand why true conservatives are not more riled up by this. This is a classic police overreach - arresting someone on their own property after they have proven their right to belong there. I simply do not believe his behavior reached the point of arrest-worthy. In these situations I would expect the police to be a little more understanding of why a homeowner may be agitated about having to prove that he owns his own house.
