VT,
One cop ( Barrett ) may have gotten upset that a " racist "
like Gates had the elitist " audacity " to call the kettle black. In
other words he was perhaps upset that Gates took the opportunity to
play the " race card " as soon as he saw Crowley at the door. Gates
was thinking " yo moma !, cracker at the door ". So at that moment in
time he may have [ acted ] like a " jungle monkey " and took
advantage of the situation to play out his racist ideology. The
problem is that it all back fired on him ( Gates ) and his socialist
divisive " friend " B.O.
Nice try on your back spin though; but that's what liberal
socialists are good at " back spin & back tracking & back peddling "!
VT = Perceived, fictitious truth ! ! #...@%&...
