Please don't try to pin a liberal label on me. I'm far to complex in my political views to be categorized in that way. The police office in question seemed to be unable to distinguish between an innocent home owner that had locked himself out of his house, and was trying to find a way back in, from someone who had no business in the neighborhood and was trying to break into somebody eases house. If the police office had asked for a photo ID, like a drivers license, from the party in question that clearly indicated he was Mr Gates, and show the residence to be where Mr. Gates lived, that should have settled the matter, or the police officer could have escorted Mr. Gates next door and inquired of the neighbors whether they knew Mr. Gates to be the owner of the residence next door. Instead, the police officer unnecessary insulted Mr Gates by hauling him downtown, booking him into custody, creating a police record complete with font and side photo, and otherwise treated Mr. Gates, a distinguished member of the community that posed absolute no threat, like he was a criminal. It sounds to me like the police office acted stupidly, wasting the police departments time and the taxpayers money. God forbid that someone like this police officer might someday be promoted to detective and asked to work a more serious and complex case like a murder.
