Скачать или смотреть Did Cambridge Police Officer Sgt. James Crowley act stupidly?

Harvard scholar Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. was arrested at him home after returning from a trip to China. A 911 caller reported seeing 2 men shouldering a door to gain access to the premises. When Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge police Dept arrived on the scene, he determined Dr. Gates was the lawful occupant of the premises, and then proceeded to arrest him for disorderly conduct.

According to Sgt. Crowley, he did this due to the unco-operatibve mood and agitated state of Dr. Gates.
Professor Gates claimed he was racially profiled by a racist cop, Sgt. Crowley claims he did nothing wrong.

Surely, this incident did not have to culminate in an arrest? I agree with President Obama, ...it was stupid!
