[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [b]No, I don't think he was[/b] then you did not listen to Obama's exact words: [i]"I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three - what I think we know separate and apart from this incident - is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact."[/i] there are three separate points perfectly and purposefully separated from each other. you are listening to spin doctors trying to meld it all into one single point. [b]Gates' behaviour was clearly within this definition and could have been prosecuted as such had the DA chosen to pursue it[/b] not in his own house. and that is absolutely critical. suppose he had a wife and kids? MAYBE, for their protection. we grant teh police a certain amount of leeway to DIFFUSE certain situations that could get worse. in this case? the cops could simply have left. wait until the recordings come out, apparently this confrontation was recorded. i find it interesting how people like to pick and choose which parts of the constitution they want to adopt. the second amendment is critical to you, yet you seem to be unconcerned about the right to disagree with authority when it suits your political beleif system. one of the defining aspects of Fascism is the idea that those in authority have the right to arrest people they don't agree with. how many "conservatives" calim the govt is getting too big and spending too much time of THEIR moeny? LOL... but when the govt arrests someone in their own home for yelling at them they suddenly beleive the powers of the govt are needed? the hypocrisy is breathtaking [/QB][/QUOTE]
