Jul 30, 2009 Author: MissXpose | Filed under: Barack Obama, IN THE NEWZ
It has been reported that a Boston Police Department officer was put on suspension for allegedly writing a racially charged e-mail about Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. to colleagues at the National Guard, according to a law enforcement official. Officer Justin Barrett referred to the scholar as a “jungle monkey” in the letter, written in reaction to media coverage of Gates’s arrest July 16.
Police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll says Barrett, 36, who’s been a cop for two years, was stripped of his gun and badge and faces a termination hearing in the next week.
In related news, President Obama will meet with Professor Gates and Officer Crowley this evening relative to Gates’s controversial arrest on July 16. We’ll keep you posted.

This white cop said what some of the other whiter cops wanted to say..But he is in trouble because he was busted for saying it? Whatever – don’t use him as an example.. This incident in its self shows why officer Gates was upset when he was arrested at his own home after proving that he lived there. Black men have a history of abuse by white cops and that has not changed since Obama took office 6 months ago. Let’s be real people. This is not the time to suddenly think police brutality only happened in the 60’s. It is alive and well and for anyone thinking that Gates overreacted – think back to what this man has been through in his 50plus years on this earth. He has no right to fear the cops? Really America? Really?
Well said Ceecee.
