He followed the officer out of the house, insulting him, threatening him, assaulting hi, in public. Remember that a charge of assault, does not require physical contact. The officer, once outside, turned to Gates, and told him he was disturbing the peace, he even took his handcuffs out, and held them in his hand, so that any reasonable person would realise they were on the verge of being arrested, but Gates just kept up his loud verbal assault...That’s why he got arrested.
He’s a stupid racist bigot, who has made a career out of hating whitey. If he qwas white, it would not be unreasonable to womder if he was related to Chris Matthews.
Please detail the threat and the nature of the assault. I haven’t heard about this yet. You must have some original reporting to break.
