The Cambridge cop prominent Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. claims is a racist gave a dying Reggie Lewis mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in a desperate bid to save the Celtics [team stats] superstar’s life 16 years ago Monday.
“I wasn’t working on Reggie Lewis the basketball star. I wasn’t working on a black man. I was working on another human being,” Sgt. James Crowley, in an exclusive interview with the Herald, said of the forward’s fatal heart attack July 27, 1993, at age 27 during an off-season practice at Brandeis University, where Crowley was a campus police officer.
It’s a date Crowley still can recite by rote - and he still recalls the pain he suffered when people back then questioned whether he had done enough to save the black athlete.
One thing I don't tolerate is people calling something racist, that really isn't. Unless it is mildly amusing. Secondly, this guy deserved to be arrested for Breaking into someones home, you don't need to be black, white, asain, to have that be against the law. However, it is pretty cool that he once did give Reggie Lewis mouth to mouth in order to save him from dying. Unfortunately, he failed.
