What a complete and total fucking waste of resources. Hey lets take a situation and blow it way out of proportion so it gets national attention.  What just because the so called "victim" Professor Gates is buddies with the president, they think it's worth of news coverage? Give me a break, people get arrested everyday. Shit like this is the reason we are in the shape we're in. How about the "officials" start focusing on what matters. Nobody gives a shit about this.
