As for the warrant. A cop can hang out on your front lawn and sip lemonade all day. He can not enter the residence. Next time you end up in a situation with a LEO. go ahead and say whatever you want to them. Let see where you end up. Maybe you and Gates could be roomies....
As for "say whatever you want," you're right -- verbally berating an officer will at times incite them to an abuse of their power. The fact remains that insulting an officer's "mother" is not a crime.
If you don't believe me, ask any of the officers on this site, all of whom seem like very reasonable and respectful people. I bet you that they will all say that a good officer will continue to act in a professional capacity and not use verbal insults as an excuse to come down harder on someone.

I've been reading up on this story because of how it escalated to a big story, how unnecessary this story was to get big, all because of gates. gates used his influence as his advantage, my conclution is, gates need to get whipped.

Oh no you went there... If this fool Gates wants to be a racist bigot then that exactly what he is, " f'n ******".
I found it funny that it was the Prof screaming racism as he forced the front door of a house open..
Sir can I see your I.D. "Why because I'm a black man in America?? --Uh no because I got a call that you were breaking into this place and when I got here you were forcing a door open.."
I'm really pissed that MA dropped the charges on this ***hole..

Why? What should they charge him with?
He didn't break the law. Even if you don't like what the professor did, he still had the right to do it. There's no law that says you have to be friendly and cordial when being questioned by the police.
Out of all the hyperbole in this forum about how were losing more rights every day, I wouldn't expect this comment.

And with the way people are throwing "n*gger" around, I'm inclined to believe a lot of them are also closet-racists. But hey, whatever.

haha dude, you've got to be joking. A majority of the people on this site are police state leg-humpers, and proud of it. You've been here longer than I have, surely you've noticed that.
