Good piece. Gates is a worthless scumbag race pimp, but he does have the right to sound off.
The arrest still wasn’t about race, and a white person would have been treated the same way. “Disorderly conduct” has become “respect ma authorita or else.”
So tell me, then - does a couple have a right to have a loud argument in front of their house that goes on for an hour? Does someone have the right to have a loud party at 2AM, as long as it's on their own property?
From what I have seen, the cops exercised a lot of restraint. And Gates was NOT arrested until he insisted on following the departing cops out of the house and continuing the argument in the yard in a loud manner - and persisted after being warned to stop.
In this case, I think the cops showed a LOT of restraint, and Gates did not.
