Boston Cops Believe Your Home is Their Castle

Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested at his home Thursday, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for being discourteous to police officers that falsely accused him of breaking into his own home.

Police told this reporter that, “This uppity Black dude” had obviously broken into this nice house in a white neighborhood and replaced all the pictures of the family that actually lived there, with pictures of black people, in an attempt to fool officers.

When officers discovered that Professor Gates actually owned the home they were so surprised that they arrested Gates anyway for not using a proper tone and showing them the respect they believed they deserved because they are obvious heroes that protect the rights of Americans every day.

“Remember,” said one officer that wanted to remain anonymous, “Officers have to risk their lives dealing with obnoxious Harvard professors and other undesirables that may or may not be in their own kitchens everyday. We must be able to come into their kitchens without being invited and without a warrant to check their government issued IDs, ensure their are no outstanding arrest warrants or unpaid taxes or late library fees and most importantly that there are no white women in the house. Then if all of that checks out and these obvious anti-American Arab pro-terrorist Obama supporters treat us with proper respect then we can let them go without arresting them. But that was not the case here as this guy had the nerve to complain about his treatment.”

The Cambridge Police Chief said he would look into it but since Professor Gates had obviously raised his voice to the officers and because his officers said Gates did indeed raise his voice to them he felt that Gates would probably do a bit of time and that it would be well deserved.

The Cambridge Police Chief told this reporter, “Police must be treated like the heroes they are. Americans that do not remember this may be beaten without due process and they had better just get used to it. We must ensure that our number one priority is that officers must come home safe every night and without their egos being bruised while on duty. Police, after all, are the only people we are required to protect and serve.”

Naturally this article was written tongue in cheek… or was it?

As a victim of police trampling the Constitution, law and procedure in my own front yard after we called them, nothing I have written here is in the least improbable.

So call the police at your own risk and EXPECT them to lie.
