I am not sure how many of you know about this but the whole thing is beyond comprehension. It's a good thing Dr. Gates isn't a professor at Loyola or Tulane or NOPD would have planted some rock on him to go with the disorderly conduct charge. Now Gates is suggesting that the officer apologize to him:
The bottomline is this isn't racial profiling. Witness sees Gates and another black male bust in the door of the house. Witness calls police. Police respond and find two men matching the description provided by the witness inside the house. Police ask for identification. Gates screams racism. That's not racial profiling, that's responding to a 911 call. Beyond absurd. I love it when people big time cops. Yeah that gets you real far. Unless you are Eddie Price.I believe the police officer should apologize to me for what he knows he did that was wrong,’’ Gates said in a phone interview from Martha’s Vineyard. “If he apologizes sincerely, I am willing to forgive him. And if he admits his error, I am willing to educate him about the history of racism in America and the issue of racial profiling.
