Well I suppose if this had gone to trial you would have heard them then.
I'm not really talking about any racial issues in terms of what's in the police report, I don't think this was a racially motivated incident actually.
I'm talking about the everything by the book and perfectly acceptable manner in which the officer is portrayed and the ranting and raving irrational manner in which Mr. Gates is portrayed. The truth is somewhere in between there. If you don't think that officers write out reports in a manner that hides any flaws or errors they may have made you're incredibly gullible. We all do it, honest self assessment is virtually impossible, which is precisely why reading the police report and coming to the conclusions you've come to is rather foolish.
You've convinced yourself that opinion/viewpoint = truth
