State Officials Block Sgt. Crowley From Speaking to Police Cadet Graduates
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, January 23, 2010, 1:13 PM
President Obama made his public gaffe on the arrest of his radical Harvard friend a teaching moment for all of America by holding a beer summit at the White House.
Poor Sgt. Crowley… First he was dissed by President Obama at a press conference. Now, state officials have blocked a request by police cadets for him to speak at their graduation.
Digital Journal reported:
State officials have vetoed a request by police cadets to invite Sgt. James Crowley to be keynote speaker at their April graduation. Crowley gained notoriety after arresting a prominent black Harvard professor trying to get into his own house.
A story in the Boston Globe reports that the class of 54 cadets at the Randolph Regional Police Training Academy had voted to invite Sgt. Crowley to speak at their graduation, but state official vetoed the idea.
Last July, Crowley arrested Prof. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., after responding to a call of a possible burglary in progress at Gates’ Cambridge home. Gates was returning home from a trip abroad and was having difficulty with a jammed front door. When Crowley arrived and questioned Gates, Crowley asserted that Gates became belligerent and uncooperative, and arrested him for disorderly conduct. Gates charged Crowley with racial profiling.

Classic PC on display.
Speaking of PC… Being that I serve in the US Army, and recently had to complete “knee jerk” training as a result of the Ft Hood tragedy. I just learned that the Army has named a new Ordnance Corps Command Sergeant Major. His name is CSM Sultan Muhammad.
I am glad I am close to retirement.

“In Christianity, tie is a remembrance of their false belief of crucifixion of Hazrat Syedna Masih Alhe Salam and forgiveness for Christians. (Fatwa Mustafvia, on “Therefore it is not allowed for Muslims to wear a tie neither during a wedding ceremony nor on any occasion. Do not send your children to schools where tie is a part of uniform code. Because wearing a tie is Haram and it is a must for Muslims to refrain him/herself from Haram and also protect his/her family from Haram.”
Is it allowed for Muslims to Wear a Tie? http://www.islamicacademy.org/html/Fatwa/English/Tie.htm

Hmmmm, wonder how many of those “state officials” were Obama voters.
Free country? Majority rules?
Used to be.

That is bizarre. America is not America with the goob as president.

Greetings:
I don’t mean this as a personal criticism because there definitely seems to be trend in this regard all over the media, but my understanding of the original meaning of a “teachable moment” was when the student was ready and open to receiving the teaching. It seems now to have morphed or mission-creeped into whenever the “teacher” wants to instruct the less well informed. The result seems to me to be kind of “Big Brother-ish”.

Enterprising cadet…wire splices, relay box, IPOD with video of Sgt. Crowley speech loaded, video projector hacked, remote in his pocket,….ready for the ceremony……”roll ‘em, Cecil!”…..
Dell commented:
opaobie, as a 1976 graduate of a fully accredited police academy, I LIKE YOUR STYLE!
Perhaps it’s time to do exactly the same thing Liberals have been doing for fifty years – question authority.
sandy commented:
In one week Obama has dissed the new Senator from Mass. He has dissed the voters of Mass. and now I will not be convinced that he hasn’t had a hand in keeping Sgt. Crowley from speaking at the Police Cadet Graduation.
After we are all under the bus Obama can look in the mirror and see who his real enemy is.
sandy commented:
Obama also said that “We can’t forget Seniors because they changed our diapers”. This is so childish that only the man/child Obama could have thought of it.

Thank you, Dell. As a 1969-70 graduate of USAF pilot training (“the year of 53 weeks”) at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, I developed an attitude of “take no prisoners”…unless you need the intel from them….and find a way to reach the objective. As “Lead” put it rolling off the perch to strike the target, “If you’ve got ‘em, SMOKE ‘EM!”

The State Official got the order from the very Top!! Is there no decency at all from BHO?? Think about it! He knows not a single ‘normal’ soul. From “Uncle Frank” to Rev Wright to Ayers, Khallidi, Farakhan, Resko, Blago, Chicago Thugs who surround him in the WH, Islamists friends …Percy Sutton, His Pakistan Roommate, His Mom, Gramps, and now a FRED per American Thinker who was an “Un-American Activitist” whose Goal was to overthrow the USA. Don’t forget Cousin Odinga in Kenya a fellow Luo Tribe member. His Commie Daddy. The Prez is NOT for the USA! What a Radical surrounded by Radicals. AND a vengeful radical!! Go ahead…Punish Sgt Crowley. (for nothing) WE Know YOU! BO you are behind this. Finally JUST ANNOUNCED is that BHO has yet ANOTHER Czar-like Department to be headed by David Plouffe for re-election and to ”oversee” all Dem Elections. Wow! Plouffe?? Remember him? SGT CROWLEY…God Bless You and btw during the 2008 Campaign BHO had Port-A-Potties set up over the POLICE MEMORIAL Sites in the Northern States. FACT!!
Dougf commented:
It;s c*** like this that puts Scott Brown’s victory into even better perspective.
For him to actually win in a State that wallows every day in this garbage is frankly almost miraculous.
Miraculous.
GrayRider commented:
So, I guess that Massacusetts state officials that vetoed Crowley from speaking “acted stupidly” and are racist.
Agent 99 commented:
http://msplaceddemocrat.wordpress.com/2008/10/24/obama-disses-michigan-state-police/ “Obama disses the Michigan State Police as well as other police departments “protecting”. This is not the first time he has dissed the police. He dissed the police in Oregon as well as slain officers by placing port-a-potties on a Police Memorial in that state. Obama violated a very important memorial to me (and many other friends and family, among them my brother-in-law, another friend, Woody, the bike cops I met in Denver, the Denver Mint cops and so many others too numerous to mention) and that the story is available at ……”

So very sad. I remember a time, not so long ago,
when all law enforcement types would stand shoulder to shoulder against this kind of BS.
The brotherhood seems not to be any more.
Damn the anti-american left.

Elect someone else besides Deval Patrick as governor, and have that new person FIRE the state officials in question. Didn’t they get the message from Brown’s upset?
opaobie commented:
Where’s John “I served in Vietnam” Kerry on this opportunity to stand up for Sgt. Crowley….my bad, he’s “windsurfing”….Bulletin to Kerry: the political winds just shifted…and not in your favor.
sandy commented:
Agent 99 — Plouffe to oversee all Democratic elections. Gotta coordinate the cheating before the Tsunami in November. Now Congressional Dems don’t you feel safer to vote for Healthcare — because you can’t lose.
So Obama was behind the Crowley affair!!! It only took a few hours to get an answer. The people of Mass — Dems and Republicans alike are teed off big time over this.
Bruce Cunningham commented:
Humm, interesting. So amazing that the elietists in higher up positions dont see the anger from us regular Americans, I contributed to Scott Browns Campaign 4 weeks ago from Texas. Us teabaggers are quietly and rightchously taking back our country. Dems, repubs, dont see what will hit them. Although we have been screaming. I have the utmost respect for sgt Crowly because of the unfairness he was dealt with but hold his class, not like the liberal/marxists/race baiters. Keep up the good work fellow American patriots. A special thanks for the young recruitement class of Law enforcement officers whom voted for sgt. Crowly to speak at their commencement.
scrubjay commented:
After the graduation ceremony is over they should all go across the street to a restaurant and Sgt. Crowley can can speak as a dinner guest of the cadets.
cbinflux commented:
Grist for independent voters’ mill. They’re not getting all their news from MSM anymore.
savage24 commented:
Just when you think that the liberals couldn’t stoop any lower, they dig the hole a little bit deeper. Why do we suffer these fools? Time to tar and feather them and run them out of the country on a rail.
Steve commented:
A title wave that will hit the beach in November will wash a lot of the trash that we are dealing with away.
Randy commented:
Hey the cadets should have another vote, let him speak to them privately in another location after the ceremony and let the world know that they wont be denied something because of some idiot in the “state”
MikeJW commented:
As long as the Dems keep doing stuff like this to protect Dear Leader and be hyperpartisan, they are only going to keep reminding everyone why they should kick all the leftists out of office the next chance they get.
Sherry Collins commented:
Professor Gates was wrongly dragged from his home and taken to jail. Sgt. Crowley should not get away without any condemnation.
What ever happened to the Boston PO who wrote an email to a newspaper calling Professor Gates a banana eating monkey. He was supposed to be fired. I assume he was not fired since the Boston PD has squashed the whole incident.
I don’t know why we have to put up with this racism. Sickening.
erp commented:
Crowley should run for governor as a Republican. Landslide win in sight.
Randy commented:
Sherry, He was not “wrongly dragged” from his home. He was uncooperative and belligerent. The officer did his job the way he was trained. There was a black officer at the scene also, was he also a racist?
PeterA commented:
“Sherry Collins”, sounds a lot like “Ellie Light”. You aren’t up to your old disinformation tricks are you?
Sherry Collins commented:
No, not EllieLight. Ask Chisum, he knows me. He follows me around everywhere.
Chisum commented:
PeterA,
Please try not to feed the troll. This one is exceptionally stupid.
And not worthy of your time.
Sherry Collins commented:
Randy, I know the whole story but many people don’t agree that Crowley was just doing his job and he could have walked away without arresting the Professor.
Apparently somebody in the MA State Department also feels it in poor taste to give Crowley a place of honor.
Let him just continue to “do his job”.
Dennis Keppner commented:
In answer to the question as to who are the officials, look to the head of law enforcement in MA. That would be the AG office – um, didn’t she just lose an election? Nuff said.

Professor Gates was wrongly dragged from his home and taken to jail. Sgt. Crowley should not get away without any condemnation….Randy, I know the whole story but many people don’t agree that Crowley was just doing his job and he could have walked away without arresting the Professor.
The problem was that Crowley left the inside of the house, was on the porch “walking away” from it all, and Gates left the house and continued ranting.
Gates deliberately continued the confrontation after Crowley walked away.
Most people with a lot less education than Dr. Gates have learned that it is a dumb idea to get in a cop’s face, especially after the cop has commenced walking away. Those who get in a cop’s face usually find out it is not a good idea.
Sherry, the next time you interact with a cop, start screaming at him and see where that leads.
A basic rule of thumb of society is that one treats cops with respect for at least two reasons. 1) They have a difficult, dangerous job and take a lot of S@#$ in the process. 2) They have the power of arrest. We didn’t need to get a Ph.D. to figure that out.
Rick554 commented:
LOL Peter, as soon as saw the post by Sherry, THAT was exactly what i thought too!!
Ellie Lite of Anytown, USA commented:
Betcha Scott Brown could find out
who submarined Officer Crowley…
Junebug commented:
The State acted “stupidly”.
SenatorMark4 commented:
Of course Scott Brown could find out who submarined the Crowley speaking request. Even more powerful is the idea that he could actually host the after-graduation dinner where he speaks to the cadets. It would be a pretty serious money raiser I bet but it won’t happen. Palin supports McCain. They all get sideways after they get into the ozone. Once they get to talk to the REAL leaders they forget about us. Send SarahPAC $0.09 to show you won’t send another dime until they ALL wake up.
Sherry Collins commented:
Gringo, Crowley is still sitting this one out. No place of honor for him and rightly so.
It all worked out and this will satisfy Crowley’s outstanding debt.
Sherry Collins commented:
Hey Chisum – You still following me around. Somebody asked me earlier was I EllieLight and I gave your name as a reference. I didn’t think you would mind since you follow me around like a little puppy. I saw your post where you were looking for me on Facebook and MySpace. That’s sweet.
Talk to you later…
Chisum commented:
Sherry,
This is your opportunity to prove that you are not a stupid troll with reading comprehension problems that suffers from delusions.
Please post the comment where you claim I was “looking for you on Facebook and MySpace”
LeRoi commented:
The police officer falsified a police report. Why he still has a job is beyond my comprehension.
In before “go back to Africa,” “you uppity liberal,” and weak defenses of big government.
