BINGO!
I've said all along that this case wasn't about racism. Its about the arrogance of police officers who feel that they have the right to do whatever they want and GOD FORBID that anyone question them, yell at them, not become submissive to their unlimited authority or deny them unlimited respect.
That's nowhere close to the point I was making, because I think Gates should have been charged with obstruction of justice for interdicting an on-going investigation.
But, ultimately, what this case has done, was send a clear message to a very non-racist white cop that no matter how hard to he tries to treat everyone the same, it's never going to be good enough; so why should he give a ****? Creating another racist is all they accomplished.
