The discussions at the Cambridge Police Department would be something to observe. They have to worry not only about the incident itself, the president referring to Professor Gates as "a friend of mine," they also have to deal with Charles Ogletree and, potentially, the umbrage of Harvard University.

Is bringing up Reggie Lewis the best move? Not everyone has forgotten how Mr. Lewis was treated when he was house shopping after being drafted by the Celtics. (To this day, you'll come across reports of current Celtics having to give assurances about living in the Boston area to potential team mates.)

If I heard this correctly, Bill Cosby agrees with you. Zero had no business making the comment he did last night.

LEO under the bus!

Who is next??

When all this comes back to bite Zero, what will his tantrum look like? He would not be the first to call for a "scorched earth" response. Zero shows no depth, no experience, and little insight; I expect an imature response when all this falls on him; IMHO.
