re: #260 Desert Dog

It was not thrown out by any court. It never made it to a court. The charges where dropped. The cops can and will take you into custody if you do not cooperate with them and they are in their legal powers to do so. It’s not illegal to be an asshole, but it is not so smart…Gates is at fault here, not the cops. What is so hard to figure out about that?

Here is a great piece written by a lawyer for Forbes magazine about the unconstitutionality of Gates’ arrest. Source
