Here's the difference. It's true that Gates was probably irate -- maybe even getting on the cops' nerves. But eventually he DID show his ID and the cop verified it. AFter that it should have been the end of the story. If he was WHITE, it WOULD have been the end of the story.



No, the difference is a regular white guy would have shown the cop his ID first, not start acting like an asshole. By your standard, a regular black guy should have done the same, instead this guy acted like an asshole and get what was coming to him.
