This is NOT an issue of race. This is an issue of a stubborn old man from Cambridge who did not cooperate with the police. Much like a lot of stubborn White/Black/Asian/Gay Men/Women who do not cooperate with the police. What we have here my friends is..A difficult person from Cambridge, 1. Who happens to be Black, and 2. Happens to be a Cocky Harvard professor. Bates not only has an issue with Cops, he has an issue with white people. Sorry to state the obvious.
@MrBubG hhhhmmmm, I wonder if Gates was a white Man, would you see him as "stubborn" and "Uncooperative". From the look of it, the police officer resented the fact that an "uppity negro" would have the audacity to question him, hie ego got the better of him and thus had to arrest this Man to "keep this N******* In his place".........If peopl's inner thoughts could be read on a screen, am sure that's what we'd have seen from this Cambridge, MA officer
Gates said he asked for the officer's badge number and id also, the cop ignored him, Gates continued to press him for this info and the officer con't to ignore him, this angered Gates, the officer didn't feel the need to respect Gates' request and thus arrested him. race indeed place a part in this.
You Tube is funny on how the connect related videos. Lets hope a wider audience will view this and listen to the points from a perspective not usually heard on the main stream media
