"Ya, I'll speak with your mama outside," - Perfectly Sober Professor to his Class on Monday Mornings...
Again, I Think Arron Mcgruder would Agree on this one...
peace...
I totally agree that he acted like a complete and total prick and understand WHY Crowley arrested him. I just think it's wrong for a cop arrest a man who up until he stepped on his property was minding his own business and doing nothing wrong. IMO, after Gates ID'd himself and yelped racism, Crowley should have given him his badge number and his supervisor's number, told him to call him and file a complaint, and then taken whatever verbal assault Gates laid on him as he left.
And that's where we Disagree...
I have Higher Expectations of my Fellow Citizens when it comes to the Work the Police have to do...
The Office WAS leaving... At that point the Expectation is that Gates takes his Drunk ass back in the House and shuts the fuck up.
I would have been Pleased that that my Neighbors and the Police were Concerned about my Property once all things were Established...
But then again, unlike this Racist Gates, I don't run around Accusing every Cracker who Approaches me of being a Racist.
He does...
He was Looking for an Event and Wine probably played a Role in his Veiled Threats against the Officer.
He has a MASSIVE Chip on his Shoulder and once his Generation is Gone, we might be able to Start some Race Healing...
Until then, I'm as Guilty as this Officer of being White and Blacks like Gates aren't going to Change, they will just have to Expire.
And there are plenty of Whites in the Same Boat...
I do NOT believe this Officer is one of them, instead I KNOW this Officer put up with EXTRA Shit from this guy because he was Black.
I would Wager that if Gates was White that the Arrest would have come Sooner.
White Cops know what the Potential of Serious Claims of Racism and Lawsuits are from Beligerant Blacks who are already Accusing them of Racism from the First Word... And in this Neighborhood?
They Deal with it EVERYDAY in the Hood...
I Doubt very much that this Officer was Expecting this Shitheadedness from a Mature and Established Man, but he got it...
And I am Certain he took Loads more Sht from Gates simply because he was Black.
You know he did, A15... Admit it.

I bet that Arron Mcgruder would agree about what happened with Gates...
Wonder if the Boondocks has covered it?
peace...
I agree that Crowley isn't racist. I agree that Gates has a chip on his shoulder. I agree that if Gates were white he would have gotten arrested sooner.
But yes, we differ.
It was Gates' property and after it was established that Gates was the homeowner and no crime was committed Crowley had no need to be on the premises any more. He needs to leave now and should be man enough and confident enough in the job he has performed to simply give Gates his super's number and walk away from it. That's the way I think it should be, anyway.

He was leaving, A15... Gates Followed him with Veiled Threats of "you don't know what your messin' with" or something to that effect...
Gates should have backed off as the Cop backed off...
He Caused his own Arrest.
Chappelle could have done a "When Keepin' it Real goes WRONG" on this one.
"Ya, I'll speak with your mama outside,"

I know what he did and as I stated earlier I think he should have taken it, got in his car, and left.

2nd Officer, and there were about half dozen as Crowely wanted to move this outside...
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Police Report - July 23, 2009
"You don't know who you are Messing with"...
On page (2) you see how much the Officer put up with...
From in the House to outside.
If Gates can Act this way, then ANYONE can Act this way and in that, there will be NO Order.
Cops don't have to Take Shit because they are Cops.
Responding to a Residence that had been Previously Burglarized and then being Verbally Assualted and Threatened by someone who Refuses to Identify themselves?...
Come on, A15...
peace...

You're not shedding any new light on the subject for me, mal. In my view once it's established that Gates is the homeowner and that no crime was committed Crowley no longer has any right to be on that property and must leave. It's no longer a police matter ... Gates can either be cordial and thank him, or call him a racist, follow him into the yard and yell and scream all he wants as far as I'm concerned.

Change the Law on Disorderly Conduct then...
The Officer was Acting within the Law.
And I have Higher Expectations of my Fellow Citizens to NOT Act this way when their Property is being Secured by the Police after a Previous Break in, and Gates getting a Pass by ANYONE for his Actions only Illustrates that Shithead Racists like himself have More Respect than an Officer simply doing his Job does with some People.
And that's Fucking Tragic.
peace...
This is it in a nutshell. And that Crowley did not leave shows arrogance and a disregard for the population he serves. His being offended does not give him the right to abuse his authority.I know what he did and as I stated earlier I think he should have taken it, got in his car, and left.

cases are dropped all the time even though the accused was guilty
think before you speak.....no one is guilty until they are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, in a court of law...we are presumed innocent in the USA, until proven guilty.
Of course you're right, I worded that wrong. I should have written "just because a case isn't prosecuted that doesn't mean the defendant was innocent"

Which is why I said the case was unwarranted.

And that still isn't even true, lots of warranted cases go untried, for a variety of reasons. It's really no different than if a LEO pulls you over and chooses to issue you a warning rather than a ticket for speeding. He didn't do so because he didn't have a case that you were speeding.

gates doesn't own the home and he wasn't being particularly helpful in establishing that fact. gates brought it on himself, imo.
