[QUOTE="arilliusbm:953366"]http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/22/gates.arrest.reaction/index.html RACISM aside, I don't see what the big deal is or if racism was even an issue. The cop showed up due to a call (doing his job) and this is what allegedly happened: "step out onto the porch and speak with me," the report says. "[Gates] replied, 'No, I will not.' He then demanded to know who I was. I told him that I was 'Sgt. Crowley from the Cambridge Police' and that I was 'investigating a report of a break in progress' at the residence. "While I was making this statement, Gates opened the front door and exclaimed, 'Why, because I'm a black man in America?' " If that is indeed what happend, then I fail to see how the cop was being the racist one when he was doing his job by responding to a call. I understand racism still exists and will never go away, but if the above is exactly what happened, then why is the media blowing this up? PLAIN AND SIMPLE: no matter who you are, what race you are, or anything, you listen to the cop. This whole story smells fishy to me, but with the evidence supplied as of right now, I don't see how this is racial profiling other than the lady that called in the first place to report a break-in. The cop was doing his job and the professor refused to comply. Alright, I'm done here.[/QUOTE]
