“You don’t arrest a guy in his home.”

According to every account I have read, Gates was arrested on his front porch.

What was Officer Crowley supposed to do? Drag him out into the street first?

LOL Mark…you sure are popular…first you had Progressive putting you up on their big board as Mark F….and now you’re being dragged into this!!

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m thinking the ol’ race-conscious professor was trying to put a “white” name and a “Jewish-sounding” name alongside his…what do you think?

Also…he was not arrested “in” his home….he wasn’t arrested until he was throwing a fit outside and attracting a crowd.

These morons need to read the police report. Gates was arrested for drawing a crowd outside his home, not because he was black/the cop was racist/Gates didn’t produce ID, or any combination thereof.

The cop acted appropriately, Gates did not.
