Serious lack of self discipline. He's old enough to know to show respect for the Police.

Henry Louis Gates Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and the Director of the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard University....is a racist, and there’s no other way to say it.

I wonder how differently this may have gone had the police officer been black.

There is where the actual racism is in this story.

I suspect Gates just couldn’t contain his hate for the white man when being questioned. This would not have happened if one of his own had questioned him.

Chris Rock made a training video on this for black folks. Caution, strong language.

On F&F now.

Why are we continuing to attack the victim of this racist police brutality? It is obvious Mr. Gates grew up poor and has never gotten a break in this terrible racist society. It is bad enough he is forced by society to live in the streets and sleep under a highway overpass.

Free Mr. Gates! Stop the Pigs! Some day a Black Man will be in the White House and these horrors will end!

Racist White House.
Racist Harvard.
Racist Obama’s DOJ.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

says the sergeant repeatedly refused to reveal his name or badge number

Of course it wouldn't occur to him to look at the cop's shirt for a name tag and badge.

Which of these men has protection under hate crime laws if any exists in Massachusetts?

[McGruff]

Why doesn't anyone ask the colored officer what he observed?
