If I were Officer Crowley I’d come back with “I’ll gladly meet with Dr. Gates privately to discuss what happens and I refuse to make this a public spectacle”
It’s a happy medium.
Agree and think Offcier Crowley could reasonably add; 'I'll bring my back Officers; you bring your Driver. . ,
Meantime; Obama is probably imagining a 'Peace prize' for this one. Or maybe Gates thinks he will get a 'Nobel' for his 'teaching moment' book, when it comes out.)
