This writer pretty much captures my feelings about the incident. Gates probably overreacted and was being obnoxious; however, that wasn't enough to justify arresting him.

Sounds like a kindergarten argument....however, Gates needs to be respectfull of the law...had he been, we woudln't be discussing this now.

Yes, all bow down to the LAW, in your own home, because nobody can get upset at the cops. Yeah, I seen it all before.

As if the law is always just.

Like the RNC campaign in Minnesota. Where the black suited S/S gestapo who were bused in from New York. And forced their just law against the press and peaceful demonstrators.

When we can not police the police. Then we become a dictator state.
