Take Sharpton out of the equation. He has nothing to do with this incident.
Looking at what happened, and granting the fact that that we likely don't have the whole story, I'd say there can be no doubt that this is case of racial profiling. Sure the cop was just doing his job but arresting Gates for breaking into his own home? I don't care if he was rude to the cop. The cop should have apologized for troubling him and moved on.
"a disorderly conduct charge after police said he "exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior.""
This sounds to me like, I am a cop and you shouldn't get up in my face. I have the power here not you, citizen! To prove it I am going to arrest you.
As for Sharpton... he reminds me of an ambulance chasing lawyer only with greater stakes.
