The Harvard professor should be held to a higher standard. In addition, visual IDs are not always good representations of what a person looks like at that moment in time. The behavior patterns of a professor would come into play. I do think the professor was racially motivated in his aspiration of actions. The officer had every expectation of a Harvard professor behaving in certain manors. If any claim would be applied here, it would be working class and academic. Academics can be expected behave in certain patterns, patterns that the professor did not exhibit. The professor provided an visual ID from the very dwelling that had been breached. This was only indirect evidence that the ID was of a person that lived there or was authorized at one point to be in the home.
I understand and can relate to being expected to behave in certain mannerisms of class; furthermore, I understand the tensions of working class and academic town environments. The professors racially motivated behavior, very well could have escalated this from a review of identity, to a detainment, to a sort this out later ride down town booking or inappropriate behavior choices have been made.
Necessarily being a Harvard professor should not entail more privilege, but it does often bring scrutiny of property and person. Professor's homes are a higher crime risk due to the intellectual intelligence risk, such as finals, research work, and computer data breaching.
The Professor had he no reason to doubt his place should not have become so excitable.
Oh... and just for that $145 ticket remembrance..... Damn it the hell! :D
I said that too, I was saying damn and fuck a lot when I was detained; I crossed the officer's tolerance level when I said. G. damn it. I sat very quietly, in the back of the patrol car and prayed he was going to let me go and not cost me the money it costs to get out of jail. I am for all means to look at white and the officer was white. I was being uppity and disrespectful to a professional, which quite honestly, did not need my extra stress and shenanigans considering his daily job description. I was in the wrong.Last edited by standin; 07-23-2009, 05:57 PM.MICHAEL G.

The Harvard Prof. claims that when asked to furnish his ID, he complied, and the officer followed him into his own home (he leases from Harvard). That's when he claims he lost it, and I fuckwell would have too! Who is a cop to barge into someone's property? Sgt. Crowley was wrong and infringed not just on his civil rights, but on the man's, and all of our, basic civil liberties...Comment

Gates let Sgt. Crowley inside his residence, and besides that.... he was responding to a breaking and entering call.
