AND Crowley has chosen to work on the police force of an extremely racially diverse city, which happens to be probably the second most extreme left wing municipality in the US, after Berkeley. AND he has been on that city’s police force for at least 16 years, and had ample experience working with its inhabitants. AND after all that, he was hand-picked by a black supervisor to teach a class about racial profiling. AND the incident happened during the middle of the day, when Crowley was not likely to be overtired. AND Crowley hadn’t been physically attacked by Gates, or anyone else, and therefore was not likely to be in a less-than-composed state.

Meanwhile, Gates he had just flown back from China, which must have meant at least 20 or so hours of nonstop traveling, AND he must have been extremely tired because of jet lag. AND after all that traveling, he wasn’t even able to get into his house, because he found that the door was stuck, because someone had broken into his house while he was gone. Can you imagine being in that situation? Personally, I probably would have screamed at my neighbor, the neighbors, the mailman, the dog, and anyone else who had the misfortune to appear in front of me at that moment. And Gates’s particular schtick happens to be that he is internationally famous, having built a career out of constantly writing and lecturing about how the black man is constantly getting shafted.
