re: #777 drcordell

For what it’s worth, I agree with Obama 100% on the Gates arrest case. Even as a white male I’ve been harrassed and seen several friends arrested by the NYPD for the crime of not humbling themselves sufficiently before the long dick of the law. If I had to deal with some jerk-off cop hassling me for entering my own house I’d be pretty mad. Arresting someone in their own lawn for “disorderly conduct” is stupid.

I (a white male) have been pulled over by the cops for no reason whatsoever. I didn’t make a spectacle of myself or throw a tantrum or cry racism for being detained in my own car. I just complied with the officer, showed my license and registrion then went on my merry way incident free. I still have no idea what it was about. At least they gave Gates a reason.
