you obviously missed the point that he was “on his own property,” which means all that other stuff just goes out the window.
I hope that no one goes on a shooting spree (from his own property) near many of these posters. I mean, the shooter just has to yell, “This is my property! Get out of here you racists pigs!” and the police are supposed to leave - IMMEDIATELY!

Or better yet, someone get s the drop on them and they call the cops somehow but they don’t show up because the last time they did they were treated like shit...which seems to be OK to some of these posters...because there are sooooo many bad cops...
I forgot to mention that he also needs to say, “No, I wasn’t shooting at anyone.” I mean, the police did their investigation so they can leave - we wouldn’t want them to hang around and possible “escalate” the situation.
This is just stupid that we are even having this conversation. An idiot, too full of himself, causes a scene, acts unruly and disturbs the peace which finally gets him arrested and we are arguing about his 1st Amendment rights!?!?! How about the police officer’s rights to ensure he was safe? Everyone says that the investigation was over when he asked Gates outside - that is NOT the case. The officer said he would continue talking outside; he never said, this is over I am leaving. He needed to ensure that Gates was not a hostage in his own home. He needed to take the conversation outside so he could hear the radio. He needed to (God forbid with these posters) “control” the situation.
We should have a thread about how the people of Cambridge should feel safer knowing that the police department quickly and professionally responded to a 911 call! THAT is the ONLY conversation that should be happening concerning this entire situation.
