“All I said wuz, ‘Where da white women at.‘”
Oh no! TITO!!!
Well this is just Skippy!
“I was talking to my wife. . . .I said I LOVE YOU, MIA. . Not I LOVE MUMIA”
I think that the stuff he really said was pretty funny.
“Do you know who I am!!!!?”
“Yeah, I’ll speak with your mama outside.”
“And the subject of my lecture is how to make friends with the local police force”
or
Prof Gates demonstrates how to apply win friends and influence the cops.
or
Prof Gates demonstrates the truth of Rev. Al Sharpton’s sermon on Proverbs 15:1 – “A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
or
Prof Gates forgets the lesson of Abigail in I Samuel 25:18-35.
or
“Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps his mouth shut!”
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.
Don’t tase me bro’
And his mama cries, cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s another hungry mouth to feed, In the ghetto (oooohhh, in the ghet-toe)

Nice work Mark.
“Quick, call Barry for me!”
Black officer thinking: “Here we go again .. another Harvard elitist breaking the working man’s balls.”

What, you crackers break into your own double-wides all the time.
What! No leg irons, hot tar and auction block? I paid good tax money for the full slave treatment.

…you made me so happy, oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy

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…
Do audio entries count?
[...] Wyatt Earp is having it out with the man. [...]
Hey, Gates, a closed mouth gathers no foot!
“Quick, someone get me Johnnie Cochran! No, wait, he’s dead. I know, call that white guy that got Michael Jackson off…I mean, got him acquitted. And bring me my harmonica! I can’t go to jail without my harmonica!!!”
#23 metoo
Nice one!!
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen…
“Tonight on Safari Planet we’re gonna have when wild animals, that is, pigs* attack you in your home… That’s crazy!, I’M BRIAN FELLOWS…
*(What I envision Gates is saying. Personally, I am always respectful to officers)
SERENITY NOW!!!
MAN!….Don’t call me “Uncle Remus”,then turn yo back on me.
Thanks Wyatt!
