Sorry, minor change to 2nd:
Prof Gates demonstrates how to win friends and influence the cops.
(Having seen his picture and his demeanour, I’m not surprised he was arrested!)

‘Thats your momma!!??? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

No real offense to officer Crowlys mom intended. Just going for the laugh.
On WTAM 1100 with Bob Franz yesterday, they were covering this story alot. On the wire feed he got they just crop whatever word, however, at the page break and it continues on the next page. They cropped Crowly at the ..ly.. or ley..and it read…
black activist arrested by Officer James Crow. So Franz busted a gut over… Jim Crow…it was just one of those fortuitous page breaks.

Well you came and you gave without taking

Finally, singing Barry Manilow is justifiably made a felony.

I gotta wonder how there is even that picture. I mean, I know the media use scanners and all, but that’s some pretty fast work there. Could be coincidence I guess, in being close at the right time and all, but still seems a little funny to me…
