I wonder how much self importance may have played in this issue?
A neighbor observes someone seeminly forcing their way into a house giving a description of two black males. This is all the officer had to go by when he made the call. Dr. Gates ought to glad that there was someone keeping an eye on the area.
If as was stated that the Professor showed proper ID, that should have taken care of the situation. If Gates became beligerent, then the officer has the right to do what he did. The problem then seems that it got out of hand on both sides which was not needed.
It seems like poor judgement with both partys.
