Imagine if Bush had commented on a black cop and white professor in the same manner? Sheesh..

but the thing is he never refused to give his ID. after the ID was shown that should of been it. Regardless of his color, put yourself in his position the officers should have been the ones to walk away after seeing that he was the true owner. Not all cops are polite and nice, I'm pretty sure they knocked with hands on gun (which is normal) and told him to step outside. Which is fine, but I'm sure Gates asked why just like anyone else would ask why if cops came to your door and told you to step outside. Then once outside started asking you question and treating you like you broke into your own home. Depending on that person they react different, some may be like no let me get my id officers others maybe like WTF are you kidding me... and go off. I think more officers need to understand that not everyone is guilty and yes criminals do lie, but if someone is swearing at you just walk away... why waste the time to prove a point and arrest someone. there is a lot of serious matters that could take up there time, rather than arresting someone that has the right to be a little pissed off for being accused of being a robber and was proven not to have been.
