1. Who called the police to report the "break in?" Their neighbor? That speaks louder than any words. Yes the neighbor who did not recognize Gates. Gates door was damaged from a prior attempted break-in at that address.
2. Where they charged with filing a false report? No.
3. When does two wrongs make a right?Where was the other "wrong"?
4. Where's the Constitutional protections guaranteed towards all citizens? Blacks don't count?The police respoded to a legitimate 911 call.
5. When do whites get reported for a "break in" into their own home? Can you name once incident?What is the point of this stupid question?
and finally, 6. Do you honestly believe police always takes the correct action, and they never make mistakes?

Not always, and maybe not even this time.

Why are you so quick to blame the police. Have the Police ever done anything correctly in your opinion? Do they not deserve the benefit of the doubt?

@Yankee,

Reporting the break in was wrong. That they failed to recognize their own neighbor speaks volumes.

When our new neighbor moved in next door from Sweden, we welcomed them with a small gift of food.

Were they correct in asking for ID ? No.

That's not what I asked. I asked if Police procedure included knowing who owns the house you are investigating a reported break-in at. Get it straight.

@cicerone imposter,

Goodie for you.

Maybe Gates has no relationships in the block where he lives in the City of Cambridge with a population of over 500K. He does travel alot, so it is possible the caller/neighbor did not recognize him.

Did you ignore the question about giving the police the benefit of the doubt?

Of course they did asshole.

What would be the point of asking for ID if they did not know who owned or lived in the home?

How stupid can one person possibly be to ask such a question!

Speaking of break-ins... why are no black dudes ever featured in those BroadView TV ads?
Are white dudes the only people breaking into homes with alarms and people inside?

Maybe this white dude will break into your home tonight.

How long did it take for them to pack up and move away?

@Yankee,

There was an "immediate and unquestionable" clue when Mr Gates told them "IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT ALL BLACKS?"

Mr Gates had complete right to ask that question.

@cicerone imposter,

Clue of what? That he was the owner? How can you conclude that?

BullShit!

Gates played the race card and pissed off the cops.
Cops can treat perps that refuse to answer questions and produce ID as hostiles.

Just a little background on the officer in question

Quote:

The white police sergeant criticized by President Barack Obama for arresting black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. in his Massachusetts home is a police academy expert on racial profiling.

Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley has taught a class on racial profiling for five years at the Lowell Police Academy after being hand-picked for the job by former police Commissioner Ronny Watson, who is black, said Academy Director Thomas Fleming.

"I have nothing but the highest respect for him as a police officer. He is very professional and he is a good role model for the young recruits in the police academy," Fleming told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The course, called "Racial Profiling," teaches about different cultures that officers could encounter in their community "and how you don't want to single people out because of their ethnic background or the culture they come from," Fleming said.

Obama has said the Cambridge officers "acted stupidly" in arresting Gates last week when they responded to his house after a woman reported a suspected break-in.

Crowley, 42, has maintained he did nothing wrong and has refused to apologize, as Gates has demanded.

@Yankee,

Even that expert failed the elementary test; he acted on the black man because that was the only reason he did what he did.

I doubt very much he would have acted in the same way with a white man of similar age.

@cicerone imposter,

Do you know how long Gates resided in the home? I read that he rented the home. Did this incident happen at night, making it difficult for a neighbor to recognize him?

Happily, there were a bunch of witnesses to give the facts.

I might add that it was not as if Gates were some dangerous Japanese person.

@cicerone imposter,

Then the conversation is over. You have decided the case without all the facts.

The police are 100% at fault in you view and should have actually arrested the initial caller.

Amazing!!

@Advocate,

The incident happened during the day. Gates was renting but for some time as I understand.

CI is a major profiler himself. He concludes that a white officer must be in the wrong, just as he concludes that Israelis are always in the wrong in the ME.

@Advocate,

So, when have I said all white officers were wrong? Please show proof for your claim? Proof = evidence. Also, when have I said all Israelis were wrong? Show proof?

You can't because you're a goddam liar!

@Yankee,

Yankee - from now on you and I can yell at police officers asking us for ID "I'm gonna step outside and give ID to your mamma", make similar scholarly pronouncements, and cite that professor's case as legal precedent. Maybe that only works in the people's republic of Cambridge, Massachusetts, though. And Obama will live to regret bitterly his idiotic comment about police stupidity - after admitting up front he doesn't have all the facts - during a prime time press conference. That grotesque error on his part is conclusive: we have elected a fly-by-night-outfit operator.

@Yankee,

"All the pertinent facts" have been shown on this thread for me to make a conclusion. Unless Mr Gates had a gun or weapon, there was no need for any police to act as they did against Mr Gates.
