The situation: Honestly, I can see both sides of this story happening. I can see this guy mouthing off to the cops, and I can see a cop being an asshole for absolutely no reason. On the Today Show this morning a neighbor of Gates who saw the whole thing stepped up and said Gates was being belligerent and not cooperating with the police.

Gates: This guy went from being a suspicious arrest, to being a civil rights celebrity, to backpedaling all in the span of about 2 days. He went on TV trying to play the hero role saying he was going to sue, and did a 180 the next day saying he's not going to sue and that he just wants to talk to the officer. Ehhhh.... something doesn't sit right with me about this guy.

Crowley: I hate cops, bouncers, and security guards anywhere. I'm sure this guy is an asshole down to his absolute core. But I give this guy big ups for refusing to apologize. Cops in this situation usually fold like Superman on laundry day, and they usually do it because they're in the wrong. If this guy thinks he's in the right so much so that he's willing to risk becoming a national villain in a fabricated scandal then I'm slightly more inclined to side with him.

Obama: STFU and fix the economy. There's real abuse of police authority going on all over the place, and your homeboy isn't above the law because he has a PhD.
