This case is so simple, yet because Gates made it racial we have this overwhelming stink.

Really now...

If an officer cannot reasonably question a citizen and then take said citizen into custody after they mouth off in a fashion that warrants them being taken in, only because that person is BLACK, then THAT is not equality in the least.

If we Blacks expected to be treated equally, then when we mess up we should be held to the same standard, WITHOUT being able to jade our side by crying racism.

How many officers will now put themselves in danger because they feel that they have to treat Blacks with "kid gloves" so that they are not accused of the same nonsense that Crowley is being accused of.

THAT is my point.

All that Gates is doing is creating resentment and stoking up racial tensions. And some of you are supporting it!

Gates needs to shut up and take his measly instance of being taken into custody as a lesson. His racial accusations belong in a cart of horseshit and he knows it.
