That's not what happened at all. Read the article and then try to apply a little common sense. Gates acted as belligerently as possible to simple routine questions. Then as the police officers were leaving he attacked and threatened them and deliberately provoked an incident. Then he played the I'm a victim of racism game.
That’s not what Gates says. That is the what cop said and it is quite revealing that the police report is no “longer available.” Now...Gates says he did ask for their ID (but that HIS RIGHT AS A FREE CITIZEN) but he also says he presented his ID. Why do you automatically accept the government’s version of events? Do you do that in the case of Obama too?
