Maybe Gates isn’t quite the Big Shot he thinks he is. Especially if one doesn’t watch Oprah. I can’t see a police sergeant doing that.
The reaction was so unulsual, I would immediately conclude the screaming racist had soemthing he was trying to prevent being discovered. Wonder what this prick brought back from China with him? Wonder whom was using the reisdnece while he was away? Wonder what substances the racist professor indulges in? ... Officer Corwley didn’t go after any of those possibilities, he just tried to calmly make sure there was not someone else of a nefarious type in the house, as a superb officer would do to protect the citizen despite the dissonance of screaming and hollering racial slurs at him. Gates and Obama are of the same racist feather.
