    "Pretty much" everyone who disagrees with you, huh? Case closed!
    Right, I disagree with those who think he's an uppity negro who should be put in his place.

    And arrested for expressing political beliefs? That's laughable, man.
    No, that's exactly what he was doing, wrong as they may have been.

    No, they went to the house because someone called in who thought there was a possible burglary.

    They didnt assume anything. Theyre not allowed to. If someone reports a possible burglary, they dont make any assumption, they are required to investigate. Hence, whether or not a burglary was being committed, in no way were they "wrong" when they found out that it was the owner who broke in.

    Game. Set. Match.
    I don't believe you know how to properly use the word assume.

    As usual you're way off point. They didn't assume anything. They responded to a report of a burglary in progress. You don't think police should respond to reports of burglaries in progress?

    So if they don't assume anything, they never had to ask him for any ID or follow any procedure at all.

    Mouthing off and being bellierent to cops on your own property IS an arrestable offense. They call it "disorderly conduct". Its when youre not cooperating with police, which Gates wouldnt do.
    He provided ID. If it was such an arrestable offense why didn't he just arrest him before he provided ID. Why wait. Why drag it out. If his behavior was so bad right off the bat then why bother waiting for ID just cuff him and be done.

    He let it drag on and got pissed off about it. The cop let his emotions decide a course of action instead doing the right thing and leaving after seeing the ID.

    Disorderly conduct is a horse excuse for making a poor emotionally charged decision.

    You seem to accept that as a good thing. Many people here do not. Thats the point.
    I think if you act like a complete asshole to law enforcement who come to make sure someone wasnt breaking into your house, you deserve to spend a few hours thinking about it in a cell.

    He should have showed the officers his drivers license, explained the situation and thanked them for investigating. Instead he decided to be an asshole.

    Again, who said that? Oh, right, "pretty much" anyone who disagrees with you. Calling the other side racist---with no evidence---in this kind of debate reveals you to be highly insecure or stupid.

    No, that's exactly what he was doing, wrong as they may have been.
    I didn't know expressing political opinions was punishable under Massachusetts law. I learn something new every day.

    Holy. ing. .

    If he assumed anything, then why did he ask for ID in the first place? If he assumed he was a burglar, why didnt he pull his gun and arrest him?

    Youre WRONG!

    WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

    But youre too proud to admit it.

    The evidence is here. This kind of debate reveals you to be ignorant and an enemy of personal liberty and rights.

    I didn't know expressing political opinions was punishable under Massachusetts law. I learn something new every day.
    That's why the charges were dropped.

    Law enforcement officers make assumptions all the time. They have to. Their lives depend on it.

    You're wrong.

    Caps Lock won't change that.

    Ironic, considering the same people would be all up in arms about Iran and China's treatment of citizens.
