That means Gates shouldn't have been arrested no matter how ****y or derogatory the statements he made to the police officer. Nor, should the police have entered the house at all without probable cause, which was not established. If you screw with the cops and won't stop, you get arrested no matter who you are. That is simply true, fair or not. 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, BTW, it wasn't Gates' obligation to act professionally. It certainly was Crowley's. That Gates wasn't civil is dissappointing. The incident clearly pushed a button and Crowley allowed it to get out of hand. Out here in the sticks, the cops seem perfectly well-behaved when dealing with unarmed, non-threatening citizens, even when you fool around with them. They all seem to have a sense of humor, and, hopefully, are unflappable. I suspect if they were dispatched to a house to check out a burglary, and encountered the resident, they'd go on their way without instigating an incident. If they know the resident. As I understand Gates was rent the house that belonged to the college. Therefore was not the know occupant of the house. Sgt Crowley reacted exactly as he should have, and does not have to apologize for his actions. If Gates had acted like a human, and thanked Sgt Crowley for protecting his property this would not have made the news. Also obama would not have been exposed as a racist he is for assuming that since the policeman was white, that he was harassing the poor black individual. |
