[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] Step down from your soap box, Glass, and take a breath. :) I've been reading several books lately on the Founding Fathers and the Constitution so I don't need a refresher on the Bill of Rights, but thank you anyways. [QUOTE]Obama spoke as a constitutional lawyer when he said the cops were being stupid.[/QUOTE]No, I don't think he was. He was speaking as an admittedly ignorant (of the details) citizen. To assume he spoke from any other vantage is drawing conclusions without evidence. Here's a definition for the discussion. Disorderly Conduct: [i]Almost every state has a disorderly conduct law that makes it a crime to be drunk in public, to "disturb the peace", or to loiter in certain areas. Many types of obnoxious or unruly conduct may fit the definition of disorderly conduct, as such statutes are often used as "catch-all" crimes. Police may use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when a person is [b]behaving in a disruptive manner, but presents no serious public danger.[/b][/i] http://criminal.findlaw.com/crimes/a-z/disorderly_conduct.html Whether you agree with the nature of the statute or not is irrelevant. The facts as they stand presented by the police report support that Gates' behaviour was clearly within this definition and could have been prosecuted as such had the DA chosen to pursue it.
