the whole situation is asinine and not worthy of discussion. $100 says there was some elements of racism on both sides but if I wasted my time giving a sh*t about the worthless opinions of worthless people, I would have no time for anythintg else.

Is Gates a prick? probably, but having had Detective Greene of the Fairfax County police harass me, my friends and family for over 2 years without a successfull conviction in the 90s, I know that cops can be evil scumbags too. They raided my house. They followed me around and searched our cars. Beat me up. Etc... You name it.
