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. Yeah, slightly built (150 pounds) nearly 60-year old professors who walk with the aid of a cane...they're notorious for "screwing with the cops." 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. -- Whatever moral rules you have proposed, abide by them as they were laws, and as if you would be guilty of impiety by violating any of them, *unless* you are a conservative Republican office holder or minister. If that is your position in life, then anything goes. |
