Gates on the other hand is an officious Harvard prig who has used his

Add to that - his neighbors hate his guts. That's got to tell you
something.




Cops lying for cops lying for cops lying for cops.

What else is new?


Harry, your logic circuit breaker tripped again. Reset it, read Tom's
post again and try again.

Tom has a kid who is a cop. Therefore, he is predisposed to believe
cops.

I am not so predisposed.




Forget the cops since you don't trust any.

I was talking about this part of Tom's post:

"Gates on the other hand is an officious Harvard prig who has used his
"do you know who I am" attitude in confrontations with airport
security at Logan to confrontations with security guards and hospital
employees including his own staff.

You opted to ignore that part.

His neighbors hate his guts, so one of them called the cops on him when
he forgot his keys? White American at it's best, eh?

Sounds like you have been on the sharp end of that stick.

It doesn't matter whether Gates was obnoxious or not. Once the cop
realized the guy was in his own house, he should have backed off and left.

The cop did and went outside. Gates followed the cop outside, into
public, and continued to yell and scream at the cop. Gates was arrested
while he was in public.

Maybe the difference here is that you and Tom seem to have great respect
for people in uniform and think they deserve deference and respect just
because of those uniforms. Well...I do respect firefighters...they wear
uniforms.

If you ever need the services of the police be sure to call them and
when they arrive just start acting like Gates even tho they are there to
help you at your request.
