Here is a link to the article:
Arrest Gates, naturally is outraged. But, I think the police were only doing their job by acting upon the report of a caller who was concerned. The anger and outrage should be directed at the caller, in my opinion, not the police as the media will probably turn it into. The media can take a situation like this and turn it into a horrendous racial discrimination case and get a lot of people up in arms, screaming "racists".
What happened is very unfortunate for Gates and the police. I just hope this does not start the wrong tempers boiling - like people who will drag it out just to start a warfare of words and accusations.
Gates himself seems to be so upset that he may be the one to turn it into a huge racial issue. Did you notice that one of the police officers is Black. I truly feel sorry for Gates and understand how he feels. I just hope all is smoothed out to his satisfaction without a big uproar.
