[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who's possibly picking and choosing what they focus on, Glass.... Let's take that quote you used... [i]"I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry...[/i] At what? Being asked to show ID to prove that you aren't a burgler? THAT'S when Gates flew off the handle. Not after his arrest (though I'm sure he was upset then as well), but just for being asked to show ID. [i]...Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home...[/i] That's not why he was arrested. He was arrested for screaming at the cops OUTSIDE of his home (on his property still, conceded) and refusing to calm down. A crowd had gathered who witnessed Gates' tirade. That's the reason for the disorderly conduct arrest. [i]...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] Never let a race card moment go to waste. Not constitutionally based arguement. Not that the arrest had no legal basis. It just had to be racially motivated. It just had to. Now, back to your reply... [QUOTE]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.[/QUOTE]With him ranting and raving? Suppose they had done that and he went back inside grabbed a gun and shot his neighbor that called the cops on him? Someone had to have seen Off. Figueroa take witness statements from the neighbor. It wouldn't have taken much to find out who called in the complaint. Now, we have cops that left an obviously angry man who has shot someone because they left. What a headline that would have made. [QUOTE]wait until the recordings come out, apparently this confrontation was recorded.[/QUOTE]Unless it shows Crowley beating the crap out of Gates, I don't think there will be anything that revealing in it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
