way to advance the story, foo’
In an apparent effort at career suicide, a Boston [as in: not Cambridge] Police Officer [Justin Barrett, 36] sent an email “to The Boston Globe and forwarded it to colleagues at the Guard.”
“If I was the officer (Gates) verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC (pepper spray) deserving of his belligerent noncompliance,” the e-mail reads. ...
Whadda tard—the term is “jungle bunny,” moron.
Aside from the amazing timing of this [the Beer Summit is today] the short sight of the MSM will confuse this wunder-kind’s department [Boston] with Sgt. Crowley’s [Cambridge], thus muddying the waters—and all honkies within poo-flinging range.
Previously, the released 911 tape had pretty much cleared up who kept his professional cool and who came off like a screeching nut case. Now? *facepalm*
He sent this mass email to to “colleagues” at the National Guard and to the Boston Freakin’ Globe?!?!?! [WTF?!?!?]
Barrett and his lawyer said they will fight the charges. “People are making it about race. It is not about race,’’
Rly?
“I did not mean to offend anyone,’’ he said. “The words were being used to characterize behavior, not describe anyone . . . I didn’t mean it in a racist way. I treat everyone with dignity and respect.’’
oh… Rly??
Adding to the burlesque of this whole thing, Lucia Whalen [the ‘neighbor’ who made the possible-break-in call that started this whole grotesque mess, is keening for her 15 minutes.
And Lucia Whalen’s lawyer wants to know why a woman who was just trying to do the right thing didn’t get an invitation to drink beer at the White House, as did the two men at the center of the controversy.
Whole email at the link: *clicky*clicky*
