Soap Box Ravings is amazed at this picture Of President Barack Obama and his personal friend Professor Henry Louise Gates of Harvard on their way to have a beer with accused racist Sergeant Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department.
As a retired airport police officer, Soap Box Ravings would guess that this is not the first person with a cane Sergeant Crowley has ever helped down a flight of stairs.
On the other hand, the President appears to have no concern for his own friend as he seems to be out in front with a somewhat detached air about him.
As I cop, I learned to watch people's body language for clues to what they may do or say; my safety depended on it sometimes. The body language in this offical government photo released by the White House says volumes.
