  • @DCUPtoejuice His color was a factor.

  • @WaterFowlStudio You fucking idiot. He has rights you moron!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • So, you can be arrested for screaming and yelling, in your own home, that is dumb.

  • The police officer was doing his job how he is supposed to if someone is yelling and screaming hes goin downtown it has nothing to do with the color of his skin if you think that you are the racist.

  • Racist?! Sounds like you're the one a complete racist MORON!!!

  • racist

  • I bet you, that you are white to say something as ignorant like this!!! It is NOT right for an cop to arrest anyone. For the content of their skin color period!!! Most of you white muthafuckas!!! Are all the time trying to justify unlawful action. All against people of color!!! All cops around this country only harass black men. Who are very respectful individuals!!! The cops here in sacramento. Only DO NOT harass thugish black men. Which is very questionable to begin with.

  • total conjecture by you and gates. gates was arrested because he didn't put up with a annoying cop, for that I applaude him. For assuming every annoying thing a cop does is because of your skin color is racist even though his guess might be right.

  • He was arrested for the color of his skin. And also because he process total class. I, myself, have been constantly harassed by the police here, in sacramento. Just simply because i don't fit the norm. As a typical black man. Whenever i am driving a car, or walking down the street. "All because i don't dress like an thug." Most of these upper class white people (not poor whites) like to stero-type all black men in america. Regardless of their status quote.

  • he assumes everything is a result of his color
