I think Gates was clearly out of place going off on the racial profiling issue when the cops were there to investigate a legitimate issue.

What does this mean?

[parsifal]

Gates had his head up his rear end. The cops came there because they thought someone had broken in. Not because he was black. But because a neighbor saw someone forcing the door open.

Gates should have just shown his ID. BUT, Gates thought he was being profiled, which isn’t a wild stretch, it was just a bad assumption on his part here.

Gates is seeing racism, and he spouts off, but so what? Its a free country and he can spout off most any stupid thing he wants to. Once the cop had his ID, he should have just left and not made this into a federal case.

But dang it, that guy insulted me, so out come the cuffs.

parsy.
