Doesn't matter.The "professor",represented by one of the filthiest lawyers in the country (Oglitree) will sue...and win.And when the dust has settled the cop will receive some kind of discipline.

This *is" Massachusetts,after all.

Now that “The One” has weighed in on it, this Officer will be hounded until he resigns—and then some. They are probably drafting the Ethics complaints now. He will need a legal defense fund before all is said and done.

Professor Gates was unable to accept that this white police officer was acting in his ultimate best interest. He was unable to escape the clutches of his own congenital racism and see the event as the simple misunderstanding that it so clearly was.

This suggests to me a profoundly disturbed individual.

I heard an interesting statement this morning when it was reported that the guy was assisted by “his driver”......In other words, this university professor has his own private chauffeur? Paid by whom, the professor or the university?

I wonder if Gates will sue. After all, consider the facts as presented by HIS side.

Passer-by calls police claiming two men are trying to break in to Gates’ house.
Two men ARE trying to break into Gates’ house.
Cop responds to call (as he’s required to do).
Gates immediately get belligerent and accuses him of racism.
Cop demands ID (as he’s required to do).
Gates presents ID.
Cop leaves.
Gates continues to berate and insult the cop as he’s leaving.
Gates continues to berate and insult the cop after the cop is already out the door.
Cop arrests Gates.

That’s the version of the story I’ve heard, mostly according to friends of Gates. I haven’t even heard claims that the cop was yelling, insulting, etc (Maybe he was. I was surprised to not see claims that he was, but maybe Gates wanted to focus attention more on the “arrest in my own home” than “I got into a fight with a cop”.) Now, the cop might have been wrong; it’s not illegal to criticize a cop.

BUT... if you piece all the reports of Gates’ story together, it makes Gates look really bad. If he’s wise, he’ll continue to let his surrogates take information out of context to milk it for all it’s worth and avoid having a detailed, minute-by-minute accounting of exactly what happened get put on the record.
