You compound the lie with this statement...
"We know it is a bad arrest and we know Gates was not breaking the law because charges were dropped immediately when business hours the next day rolled around."
Any ADA can decide not to follow through after an arrest for any number of reasons, political considerations being one. It happens all the time and is not nor is it meant to be a statement from the DA that the arrest was wrongful.
Try working with what is factual in the real world.
Right and it is never the cops role to know what can be sustained in his juris diction. And it is the usual thing for cops to go investigate a possible break in and arrest the legal resident.
Sorry, you are the one who needs to go live in the real world. The charges were dropped because it is not against the law to argue with a cop whether he warns you or not. A cop is not a petty prince and that is the real world.
