re: #207 Last Mohican

Great. Now Colin Powell is weighing in on “Skip” Gates.

Here’s part of what he said:

Gen. Colin Powell says that Harvard Professor Henry Louis “Skip” Gates could have avoided arrest and the ensuing controversy by just talking calmly to Cambridge, Mass., Police Sgt. James Crowley and coming outside his house.

“I’m saying Skip, perhaps in this instance, might have waited a while, come outside, talked to the officer and that might have been the end of it,” Powell says in an interview with Larry King.http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/07/28/colin-powell-skip-gates-could-have-avoided-arrest/

That doesn’t sound unreasonable.
