Officer Justin Barrett, 36, called Gates a "jungle monkey," well, surprise, surprise. I heard somewhere that Boston was the Mississippi of the north and statements like that make me believe it's true.He claims he said it in response to a Globe article about Gates' arrest.In the e-mail, Barrett writes, "(Gates') first priority should be to get off the phone and comply with police, for if I was the officer he verbally assaulted like a ... jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC deserving of his belligerent non-compliance.I believe racism will always exist in this country, but I don't believe all cops are racists. It's a few that gives all police officers a bad name.
