Black officer supports Crowley "100%"
Black officer at Gates home during arrest said scholar acted strange, supports arrest
Excerpt:
A black police officer who was at Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s home when the black Harvard scholar was arrested says he fully supports how his white fellow officer handled the situation.
Sgt. Leon Lashley says Gates was probably tired and surprised when Sgt. James Crowley demanded identification from him as officers investigated a report of a burglary. Lashley says Gates' reaction to Crowley was "a little bit stranger than it should have been."
Asked if Gates should have been arrested, Lashley said supported Crowley "100 percent."
Comment: Why are Senators Kerry and Kennedy silent about this? Or Congressman Mike Capuano who represents this district. Stand up and be counted!
