Boston Cop Likens Prof. Gates To A "Banana-Eating Jungle Monkey"

Boston police officer Justin Barrett was suspended after he sent out a mass e-mail stating that Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was a "banana-eating jungle monkey." Barrett's attorney "explained" to CNN that his client "did not call professor Gates a jungle monkey or malign him racially. He said his behavior was like that of one. It was a characterization of the actions of that man."

Can't make this stuff up.
