I doubt that this is any more accurate than FOX's usual reporting.

I also believe that, in the future, should anybody notice any
suspicious characters around Gates' house doing... whatever... there
is about a .0004% chance that anybody will involve themselves in
another one of his highly publicized hissy fits.

Just desserts.

Why couldn't he just show a picture ID with an address and thank the
cops for doing their job... protecting his property?

He just wouldn't shut the **** up.

He's not sheeple like you.

Say what? Where are you a judge? Where did you graduate law school?

Probable cause was there .... where the facts and evidence would lead a
prudent and reasonable man to conclude a crime had taken place or was to
take place. The neighbor witnessed him busting down his own door, but
didn't recognize him. Thus, I would conclude that the person seen busting
down the door was not the owner.

And that poor neighbor. Now being put through the mill. Just to teach
everyone that if you mess with Big Purple Lips, you will get run through
also.

Having them both over for beer this evening? I would have told Obama that I
would be over AFTER he made a public apology to every PO in the world.

But that's just me, yer honor.

Steve

And where did you obtain your JD? The opinion is not mine, it's the
opinion of a judge who was on Fox News.

Everyone hates the cops until they need one.

I have had many good experiences with cops in Seattle and find them to
be pretty exceptional folks. Well trained, patient and very human.

I'm a liberal in case you've missed that.

Harry's contribution to the social/intellectual progress of multiracial

I take it you don't have friends who've been racially profiled. I
have first hand experience and let me tell you that it's ugly.

I was riding with a friend in South LA in a completely legal, properly
registered car with nothing wrong, no traffic infraction when we were
pulled over.

I was asked by the *BLACK COP* if I were okay and if I could vouch for
my friend. I looked at him and asked why the hell he required
vouching for? Why didn't he have to vouch for me? He didn't respond.

How would you like that sort of treatment for your skin color?

This is an everyday occurance in the black community. They've grown
up with it and come to expect they're prone to become subjects of
baseless, arbitrary harassment.

If you screw with the cops and won't stop, you get arrested no

Yeah, slightly built (150 pounds) nearly 60-year old professors
who walk with the aid of a cane...they're notorious for "screwing

Cane or pool cue, they still hurt when you are hit by them.

Gates wasn't "in" his house when he was arrested. Gates was in
public. If Gates the vaunted Harvard Professor had the smarts to
stay inside his house then no arrest would have occurred. But,
Gates saw dollar signs and followed the police officer outside of
his residence into public and made a public disturbance. Gates got
what he thought he wanted. As it turns out Gates is getting more
scrutiny than he desired.





Professor Gates holds an endowed chair at Harvard, is the author of
a number of books that have sold well, is a Macarthur Fellow, et
cetera, so forth, and so on. Doubtful Gates saw dollar signs.
That's what the Thrilla from Wasilla sees.

Gates is a whore, a money whore an attention whore and a publicity
whore.




Hehehe. You're a moron.

Reality is on my side.



You're a delusional moron.

Shoot the messenger. Anything except talking about the issue.

Has Gates "given" anyone other than family members money from his
"charitable" foundation?

A. I consider the messenger when I consider the message.

B. I have no knowledge of Gates' foundation, nor do I give a damn about it.

I do not see any racial component here at all beyond Gates'
racist
comments. White guys get arrested for this every day.

The only thing I would have suggested to Crowley is he
should
have
continued to walk away from this rant and waited until
Gates
got
to
the street to arrest him. I am sure it would have happened
anyway,
Perhaps so, but he didn't. He should never have engaged
Gates
in
the
way he did. Lost his cool and didn't recover.

People screw with the cops all the time. The cops rarely
react
in
the
way Crowley did. They're taught to calm things, not incite
them.

Napolitano is wrong about not being able to arrest someone
for
making
a
public disturbance on their own property. Arrests are made
for
that
every
weekend. You having a wild party at your house, you can be
arrested.
And
the arrest will stick. You have sex on your front lawn. You
think
you
can
not be arrested?



"in their own home".


He wasn't arrested in his home, He was outside on the porch,
where
he
followed Crowley, still screaming at him. Significant legal
difference. I agree Crowley should have kept moving and arrested
him
when he got to the street tho.
BTW this guy "who needs a cane" managed to chase Crowley outside
without it so he isn't all that crippled.

I'm sure Gates represented a significant threat to the officer
and
the
neighborhood.

Crowley never should have engaged or responded to Gates
hissyfit.

He is probably a gun nut.

And you're probably taking bong hits.

Just because you are a drug user, do not accuse me of it. Last time
I
smoked Pot, as was still a student at San Francisco State U. And
did
not
seem to have much effect on me. Had given up smoking years before,
so
that
was also against the use of pot. Rest of the drugs were much to
scary
to
try. I worked on a direct path from the Haight-Asbury to Union
Square
in
downtown SF. The speed freaks would want to come in and watch the
flashing
computer lights. The days when computer rooms were advertising
fishbowls
with exterior windows. Which drug are you abusing these days?

I never abused any drugs. What prescription medications are you on?

Oh, you don't abuse them, you love them?

As much as you love fellatio from the transvestites downtown.

Wow! You are into all kinds of stuff. We do not have transvestites
downtown that I know of. This ain't Seattle.

I'm into fellatio with transvestites as much as you're into abusing
psychoactive drugs.

Take your pick Bill, one or the other.

Nope, just because you are in to transvestites, does not mean I am in to
drugs.

I bet you're secretly into both. Why else would you live on Nancy
Pelosi's home turf?

You were jealous of all those psychedelic free love hippies crowding
around your office in the Haight. You wanted some of what they had
but were too much of a dweeb to mix.

Pelosi is from turf near me. She is an idiot and not my Representative.
Jerry McNerney happens to be my Representative. Replaced another idiot,
Pombo.
Maybe to many brains. Understood the frying of brain cells was not doing
much good for most of the drug users in the area.

I got a ticket in Md for driving while being a cracker (Florida tags)
from a black state trooper and he actually called me "a cracker" to
the other cop who was there.
The funny thing was I really lived in Md at the time.
The unfunny thing was I wasn't speeding. Even the other cop laughed
when he heard the black cop trying to explain it since they were
running together (2 cars) at the time and his "pace" didn't come out
the same.
They ended up calling it 5 over but I still got the ticket, not a
warning or something ... and I was nice. I mailed in the 20 bucks.

How did it feel? Pretty stinky.

Expect your experience is 1% of what happens in the other direction.
