You clearly have issues with comprehension to continue to disregard certain facts that have been long established and corroborated by witnesses. he wasnt in his house, try reading the report.

Interesting that you continue to ignore all the rest of the issues you bring up yourself, hatred of the police being a key issue among others that are even more distasteful and that you proclaim affects your judgment.
Further, as it actually notes in the report the officer asked him to step outside essentially for the purpose of arresting him. So, I'm left to wonder if you actually read through the report or just skimmed it to find facts you considered to meet your ideological leanings as you describe above.
As I said earlier, and you clearly chose to ignore (along with the critiques of other issues you "dropped"), I thought both acted stupidly and Gates has a bully pulpit while the police officer had a badge and a gun, so he could arrest Gates. It's worth noting that the charges were dropped immediately.
Someone also noted, Gates never actually threatened the officer at all, and the officer also notes in the report he realized before asking for identification that Gates was the occupant of the house.
You can go back and read my second sentence in my first thread post, or you can carry on your strawman arguments -- where you have an argument with things that don't exist.
Anyway, I have other things to do it's kind of clear that you are interested in arguing with strawmen, I guess that's a slightly adv. form of trolling.
