Sgt. James Crowley, the Cambridge police officer criticized by President Obama for his arrest of black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., has taught a class to police recruits about the dangers of racial profiling, the Boston Globe reports.
Crowley has taught the class at the Lowell Police Academy for the past five years to recuits from the Cambridge and Lowell cadets. Crowley and another officer, who is black, teach the class to 60 cadets each year.
