Maybe Skip Gates has early Alzheimers? Or maybe he is just an angry old professor.

..if it wasn’t in the police report it didn’t happen

2 ways that could be taken- where I come from, “to show your butt” doesn’t necessarily mean to engage in the act of “mooning” but rather means you’re acting like an ass.
Maybe that’s what that legal gal meant and Kelly took it the other way!

[SaraJohnson]

Creating racism for a profession could drive him crazy.

Nah, our TOTUS is just an over spoken idiot.

Otherwise this whole scenario wouldn't be so overblown in the first place.

[Pardon Me]

I heard the segment on Fox News this morning too. I was wondering the same thing! It was the first I had heard of the “backside incident”.

[justkate]

Never knew that...thanks.

I’m from CA and showing your butt means...showing your butt:)
It’s done quite a bit.

[justkate]

YEA!!!!!

I just relieved I am not alone in the universe

... where I come from, “to show your butt” doesn’t necessarily mean to engage in the act of “mooning” but rather means you’re acting like an ass.

The PG-13 version is called "showin' out".

[justkate]

OK, so what if there is some dialogue on the tapes made during the arrest?

Ever hopeful here

[Pardon Me]

I have been wondering about it all day too! Is there more to this incident than the drive-by media is telling us?

[hinckley buzzard]

Showing your butt(or ass) is a reference to a well known aggressive challenge posture among lower primates like orangutans.

It means "asking for a fight" and is used on the street for that meaning.

[Red_Devil 232]

I saw it. The woman when she said he "showed his butt" was talking about Gates' attitude and not an actual mooning.

Kelley was very dismissive when he cut the Lady off and told her "we're not going there" ... he stated at that time he had experiences and stopped in mid sentence (alluding to he may have had unfavorable encounters with cops). Then went to the other guest very quickly! The woman was given more time later!

Jamie Colby looked perplexed and uncomfortable after that.

[TommyDale]

I watched this segment, and that is exactly what happned. Kelly Wright was merely protecting Fox News from a potential controversy.

[KansasGirl]

How is it that the media has FAILED to interview a single person WHO WITNESSED this arrest? I haven’t even seen the neighbor interviewed.

[eyedigress]

I have been arrested in my life and the reason invariably was “showin’ my butt”. Sometimes folks grow up, sometimes they don’t.

[Doogle]

I think that has already been taken care of....(silenced)....the officer did have his radio “on”...that is why Gates wants to “move on”

[supremedoctrine]

If he literally mooned Crowley, or even turned his back to him , and bent over to expose his (clothed) backside, it’s not good. BOTH suggest someone either drunk or way too full of himself and too provocative. Probably , along with the ranting and racist talk, the perfect candidate for handcuffs. I do hope the details of this come out.

[justkate]

Judging from Kelly Wright’s reaction...something is NOT supposed to be discussed.

He looked just like my Dad did when I asked why Uncle Frank never got married.
