This isn't about interactions between neighbors, this is about actions between a citizen and a government agent (someones like a term Tower would use, lol) which means being an ass doesn't bring anything upon you unless it's illegal.

Oh sure. I absolutely agree.
While I'm not familiar with the legal side here, I would suspect that the officer had grounds to go into the home, considering that Gates was not providing proper ID, and that it was a B&E investigation.
Otherwise I'm sure the officer wouldn't have the full support of his co-workers and the police department.
