Oh please...this actually happened to me once and I am white. I locked myself out of the house and was trying to get in a window when the cops showed up. I told them I was the owner of the house, showed my ID and that was the end of it.

Sounds like another black liberal with a chip on his shoulder. All he had to do was stop and show that he lived there.

Hope the judge suspends his race card.

According to police, an officer ordered the man to identify himself and Prof Gates refused.

All he had to do was say his name.

That's all.

#1 rule. Treat the police with respect and answer all their questions. Once the officer thinks his safety is secured, then bring up the fact that it was his house and how he was trying to break in.

I’m amazed at people who literally scream at the police and then wonder why they’re in the back of a squad car. Golden rule and all that...

“Henry Louis Gates Jr, America’s most famous black scholar”

Never heard of him until now. Too busy trying to make a living for myself rather than worrying about the problems of blacks.

Blacks are to be excluded from being labeled criminals. This is especially true if you are a “somebody”! LOL!!!

I would *hope* and *expect* to be asked for ID if I was seen breaking into my house. I live in a small town but I don't expect the cops to know everybody here.

He is the director of Harvard University's WEB du Bois Institute for African and African American Research.

Gee I wonder if this has anything to do with his attitude??

He allegedly began calling the officer a racist, repeatedly saying: “This is what happens to black men in America.” Officers said they tried to calm down the 58-year-old academic only for him to tell them: “You don't know who you're messing with.” “

Groan!
Exactly who does this turd think he is? God?
He is black, so therefore he's above the law?
The sheer arrogance of some of these idiotic black “academics” simply boggles the mind. They should charge him in court for disorderly behavior and fine his butt off.

His lawyer is Ogletree. Another guy with a chip on his shoulder.

Ogletree goes around trying to rent apartments and then shows up with witnesses. Probably hoping he will be turned down and he can claim racism.

I suspect that racism wasn’t INFLUENCING the officer, but that something WAS influencing the “Black Scholar” (tell me how that headline isn’t PROFILING?!?!?!), maybe some alcohol or pot to cause his ‘tumultuous’ behavior??

This guy was just dying to get some kind of life affirming “proof” of the crap he’s been spewing for a living.

If I was black I would swing by his pad this afternoon with a prybar and Uhaul.

“...woman said she had seen a man “wedging his shoulder into the front door as to pry the door open.”

A little common sense here, if his neighbors didn’t know who he was, how would a policeman? If the caller was simply driving by, and Prof. Gates was in casual or running/jogging attire, how would she know? All the officer had to say is, “Can I help you, sir?” That would make an ordinary criminal bolt. Sounds like both parties get their exercise jumping to conclusions...case dismissed.

And if the cops had seen someone other than this man climbing into the house through the window and had not collared him, this dude would be screaming the cops were racist for not protecting a black man's home.

These professional victims are a very predictable one-note band.

>Henry Louis Gates Jr, America’s most famous black scholar<

Never heard of him - I HAVE heard of Dr. Walter Williams (as have millions of Americans). Oh, but that’s right - he’s a conservative. Doesn’t count. My bad. /s

And this is why some predominantly “black” neighborhoods are being “de-policed”.

Let them call Louis Farrakhan.

I wonder if this was a set up. First, place an anonymous call and say a black man was breaking into your house. Then when police arrive and just ask routine questions act as belligerently as possible and deliberately provoke an incident. Third, play the victim of racism game and become a hero to the Harvard left and threaten a civil rights lawsuit for a big payday. Believe me, this kind of stuff happens.
