That's all wonderful. I'm just still puzzled with respect to why Gates was arrested for disorderly conduct when all he did was repeatedly ask the officer for his name and badge number. That's not exactly disorderly conduct, and to date the officer has not given any information that would indicate that Gates was doing anything beyond that.
I'm glad they dropped the charges though.

You don't think it's possible that the actual truth might vary from your description here?
I don't think Gates should have been arrested, but I suspect you're ignoring aspects of the police report, aren't you?
