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.

But nooo. Because Gates pissed the cop off, he decided he would arrest him for disorderly conduct. In his mind he's saying, "I'll show this uppity n-gger. Put him in his place".

If he were not black, the cops would walk away pissed off, but they would walk away. It is not a crime to get on the nerves of a police officer. They are trained to put up with Bullshit and keep a cool head.
