As much of a fan of Gates as I am, I think he probably stepped over some lines here. Possibly the police did, too, but we'll never know, since it's just a he said/he said at this point.evenshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216202339896997202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396296859297638787.post-56912306724454910862009-07-22T05:37:54.400-05:002009-07-22T05:37:54.400-05:00That is awful - I'm so sorry you've had to...That is awful - I'm so sorry you've had to experience such fear and violence.

And am especially glad that you weren't home at the time, too. Hugs!!!!!<br /><br />Second, the Gates story is awful...I read somewhere that the officer wouldn't identify his badge number and name, as Prof. Gates requested, either. How is someone supposed to feel when being arrested for getting into your own house by law enforcement people who aren't following protocol? Terrified and enraged seems about right to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
