I don't care if Gates called the cop a ******. The cop was in the wrong to arrest him.
The only way to solve this is to admit that whites hate blacks is what your solution sounds like, Willow. Good luck with that.
No Ravi,, what my solution is puts a stop to everytime a black has a confrontation with police the white police are automatically stamped "wrong, white and racist." you automatically believe the Mr. Harvard.. He bears no responsibility whatsoever for his conduct. I think you have it ass backwards, what is becoming clear in America with each passing moment is that blacks hate Whites,, don't believe me? read this forum on race. Good luck with denying that. I will say one other thing.. take it or leave.. racial equality will never be established in America with the attitutes we see now. If you are not willing to respect authority from white people then hire black people. that is so simple. the first words outta profs mouth "why are you here?? it's because I'm a black man in America." Rev. bullfrogs chickens are coming home to roost his message of hate has taken hold. I think you think a black man can be excused for any behavior just because in the past his race was mistreated so now today we have to give them a free pass.. ie charlie bass don't want no white woman reporting nuttin a black gentleman does.. it is so funny
I put myself in the shoes of mr gates, and i can't imagine a cop treating moi, white as snow, in the same manner....and If I were treated in the same manner, then I would personally be pissed.
Treated like what? The police received a report of a house break in. Cops were sent. Cops arrive and find man inside house with broken door. Cops ask for ID and are treated instead to verbal abuse and false accusations of racism. Rather then arrest him right then, the cop reasons with him and gets the dumb ass to show ID. Problem should have been solved. Instead this man continues to berate and yell at cops doing their fucking JOB. Trying to protect HIS fucking property.
If YOU had refused to show ID, do you think the cops would have bothered to reason with you? You are not a protected class, you are not black and allowed multiple passes on basic common sense. You as a white woman probably would have found yourself handcuffed and in the back of the squad car begging now to show them ID.
You dumb asses are IGNORING the facts. Cops did not just show up and begin harassing some poor put upon black man cause he was black. They showed up because they were CALLED about a BREAK IN. A break in that in fact HAPPENED. They arrived and found this man in the house. They did not snatch him arrest him and handcuff him as a thief, they ask him for ID so they could be sure he BELONGED there and in fact did not just break in.
Instead of complying the man went into a screaming ranting fit about how he was being picked on for being black. When no such had occurred. The cops, remaining cool collected and professional calmed the situation down and got the man to show ID. Then tried to leave.
Rather then let the police leave this man continued to scream at them about being racist. So much so as to follow the cop out of his HOUSE. He was then warned about being disorderly in PUBLIC and refused to calm down, refused to return to his house and instead continued to YELL at the cop. A cop that did nothing more then his JOB, protecting this ungrateful turds property.
I hope to high hell had you acted the same you too would have ended up arrested.
