Garbage. That should not be the way it is. Whats to stop a cop from arresting anyone because they simply don't like them?
In this case, clear cut..the guy is at home, he is being accosted by the cops at his own house. He is not being disorderly in public. He provided evidence he lived there.
"While I was led to believe that Gates was lawfully in the residence, I was quite surprised and confused with the behavior he exhibited toward me," Crowley said, according to the report.
So basically the cop didn't like him. Did Gates hit him? Nope. Did he threaten him? Doesnt seem like it.
Not liking someone's attitude does not justify an arrest.
