So, when the cops come a-calling, it’s ok to yell and scream at them, call them names, invoke their mothers and be a general asshole because it’s a constitutional right? Gates could have diffused this situation in a few seconds, but he chose to a ultra-jerk. The cops will arrest you if you are verbally abusive to them.

Ah, I get it. The Constitution only applies if you are on your best behavior and ask the police to respect your rights “pretty please with a cherry on top.” As annoying as this may be to you, acting like a bloody prick is not against the law. Pissing off a Police officer by not “respecting his authoritah” is not against the law.

As protected under the Constitution, the police may only enter your home if they have a search warrant or have personally witnessed a felony. When Gates told Crowley to get out of his house, Crowley legally had no right to be inside the residence. This is not up for debate. Even Fox “News” legal analysts have stated as much on air. Here’s the video if you’re interested.
