If Gates' house got got burglarized while he was away, he'd be bitching about the lack of police presence.
So, Gates is mad because police were doing what they get paid to do? Investigate? Guess the officers were white. What about the caller? Anything happen to Whalen? Good thing Obama called police officers stupid. I love this country opcorn::usaflagwa
Actually there were both Black and Latino officers present, as well, according to a report I read. And to think, all of this would be nothing had he just showed them his ID in the first place.......
only every logical person knew he was referring to the police officers, yet: i guess it depends on what your definition of is is.
"Unless Gates was climbing through a window or kicking in a door, why did he assume it was someone who wasn't supposed to be there?" That was my initial reaction after reading the news articles. After reading the police report, Mr. Gates was an *** and I have no sympathy for him. I doubt he realizes how foolish he appears.
cops arrested an old man who ran his mouth after he presented his ID proving it was his residence. no big surprise. obama was right about this one.
They should have given him the Rodney King treatment. You don't run your mouth to the police when they are there to protect your property. He's an arrogant SOB that mouthed off to people there to help him.
