Obama and Gates are the real race baiters

[SoonerLS]

Have you all heard about the cop or ex-cop, who compared Gates to a "jungle monkey"?

Justin Barrett was fired for the statement, which he had e-mailed to a Boston Globe columnist, and is now suing the Boston PD over it (see http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/08/fired-boston-police-officer-su.html ). Here's an excerpt from the offending missive, taken from the linked article:

"His first priority of effort should be to get off the phone and comply with police, for if I was the officer he verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC deserving of his belligerent non-compliance."

I'm not sure he should have been fired for that statement, but sending that sort of message to a columnist shows some phenomenally poor judgment...

It bears mentioning that, given the demographic and the area, these cops are probably Democrats who likely voted for Obama.
