Boston Cop Calls Gates Jungle Monkey

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. Some dumb prejudice white cop had to open his mouth and no doubt will most likely end up being fired over an email rant where he calls Professor Gates a "jungle monkey."

A Boston police officer has been suspended and could be fired for a mass e-mail in which he used a racial slur to describe black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Commissioner Edward Davis put 36-year-old Justin Barrett on administrative leave pending a termination hearing after learning of the slur.

Like him or not, whether he is a race baiter or not (he is) the man does not deserve to be called anything but a man. Referring to Gates as a "jungle monkey" will only make you look like the uneducated, dumb cop you are, Justin.

A person with knowledge of the case who was not authorized to speak publicly about the details told the Boston Herald that Barrett, a member of the National Guard, sent the e-mail to fellow Guardsmen and to The Boston Globe.

Don't you love these guys? Not authorized to speak to the public? LOL Yet, they ALWAYS do...

Barrett called Gates a "jungle monkey" in the e-mail, according to a copy posted online at MyFOXBoston.com. Officials told the Herald that Barrett admitted writing the e-mail.

If Crowley thought he couldn't get the press of his lawn, something tells me this goofball cop is going to be the focus of the story now that Gates, Obama, and Crowley are planning to get together for a beer to work things out.

I will say this though, as recovering alcoholic, who is now four years sober, it does make me think isn't there a better beverage to drink than a toxin that results in the deaths of so many Americans per year? While I have nothing against beer, I think it sends the wrong message to America. Alcohol will not fix your problems, it will only make them worse.
