Posted on July 29, 2009 by kwilder

KW: The opinion piece here, excerpted below, provides an excellent analysis of the Henry Louis Gates arrest. Instead of focusing on “Were the police racist?”, the writer, Charles Cherry, focuses on “Was the arrest and were the charges wrong?” It shows point-by-point and with case law how wrong the police were.
