You don't have to be a prick about it.
The 'disorderly conduct' is a vague term and can apply to a whole slew of different situations.
Obviously the cops felt that by the way Gates responded, he was being disorderly. So they arrested him. IF, he was using the racist card and was yelling and screaming at the officers, they had due cause to arrest him.
As much as we may not like it when a cop comes to our house to investigate a B&E, it doesn't mean we should be acting like idiots when all they're trying to do is their job.
