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

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

I am not so predisposed.

The sergeant should have known better. He overreacted to a nearly
60-year old slightly built man who needs a cane to get around. The cop
should have said, "Sorry, we're just doing our jobs...have a nice
day..." and left.

As for one cop vouching for another...I'm not impressed.

Remember Amadou Bailo Diallo, the 23-year-old Guinean immigrant in New
York City who was shot and killed on February 4, 1999 by four New York
City Police Department plain-clothed officers? You know...the subject of
the song 41 Shots? The case in which Diallo was murdered by out of
control cops who lied for each other and got off?

Forget the cops since you don't trust any.

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?

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.

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.

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.
