I don't know what you read, but that's not at all an accurate 
description of what happened.  Maybe you should read more, because I'm 
tired of this thread.

I've said this before, but maybe you missed it: *no one* who is directly 
involved said this was an improper arrest.  So any statement like "Gates 
got arrested because Crowley was pissed" is off the deep end.

It's barmy, as they say.
