Why didn't CBS show the black female police officer at the press conference? Was it because she tore Obama a new azzhole? Or was it because you thought that would be to damaging for your hero to take criticism from a black officer defending the Cambridge Police Department?

Here's my 2 cents - Mr. Gates should have welcomed the officer into his home, been totally cooperative, and even appreciative of the fact that his neighbor and the police were looking out for his best interest (his home and its contents)....and....when Mr. Gates became "upset", Officer Crawley could have humbled himself (after all, this was also a pissing contest) and completed the investigation with a little more compassion - but... men will be boys.

@tobiasrobbins72 you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. He showed him proof he lived there, the cop should have left after that. That's the opinion of most legal experts. If you want to lick the cops boot go the fuck ahead

[tobiasrobbins72]

@InnerSmile72 The cop was called to a scene. For all he knew, someone else was in the house. the old racist idiot was obstructing the investigation that a cop was called in for. Fuck him.

[tobiasrobbins72]

@InnerSmile72 LOL He wasn't just being upset. he was refusing to comply. Big difference.

[InnerSmile72]

@tobiasrobbins72 Futhermore, "He described Gates's behavior as "contempt of cop" which officers are supposed to handle as a first amendment right under the U.S. Constitution." If you actually look at it from a legal standpoint, he should not have been arrested, and that's the legal opinion of most experts. What you're suggesting is nothing less than acquiescence to tyranny. You obviously don't understand our rights. Sure it's better to be cooperative, but it's not illegal to be upset! HA!

@tobiasrobbins72 The unarmed "old man" was not a danger to anyone. He had already proved that he lived in the house. He was pissed off at the cop, that's not a fucking crime. The cop didn't like his attitude so he needed to assert his authority and took him in. We're obligated to suck up to cops like bitches? I mean don't get in his face but within the law, you should be allowed to be pissed off. Anyway, I guess if you want to worship cops and lick their boots it's all you baby.
