How is that interesting? The officer acted within the scope of his authority and from reading the open source articles on this case I really fail to see ANY type of sincere racial bias or profiling going on. If anybody's a bigot it's that WASPy neighbor that called the 5-0 on Dr. Gates in the first place
I feel bad for the officer to be honest, he could of had his career ruined while Dr. Gates will most likely profit greatly from this encounter in the form of more speaking engagements, book deals, and maybe even a made for TV movie.
BTW I hate the posts where people use the example of "I've seen a white guy get away with saying more to a cop blah blah blah". Every cop is DIFFERENT in the way they respond to situations, unless you've seen the actual officer in question letting caucasians off "easier" you have no point so please shut up.
