Guess who is the law in my home? Me. Thats why i am AUTHORIZED to carry a weapon. A police officers Command? I'm no ones bitch, the cops are not authorized to run around COMMANDING people to do their bidding whenever they feel like it just because they have a badge, far be it, they are to be held to much HIGHER standards than the average man, for it is they who protect us. Guess what? Every cop gets taught all about racial relationships, I would say that probably 50% are involved with teaching in some form or another so those qualifications you listed don't really mean much. You can be the biggest racist and still teach racial equality and love and understanding, just like you can be a professional clown who just so happens to like boys to have sex with and then cut them up and snack on them. there are some sick bastards out there and mr cop could be one. The smart cop would have just left, his absence would make everything better for everyone. By arresting Mr gates he has really screwed the cops over now. Imagine how much heat his fellow officers are going to take now every time they even look at a black person. Of course mr Gates is going to use the Race card, it fucking works when you use it, its a very smart strategy. The cop will at minimum be on some type of administrative leave for some time, until finally being let go, along with him will also go others until John Q Public is satisfied that enough heads have rolled for another "Race Incident". there will be more race "Love ins" and every officer will teach equality classes and worship at the Martin Luther King Jr church of "The Dream".
Like I said, the cop should have just left, none of this would be happening right now. Major shit is hitting the fan becasue of all this, the fucking president is personally involved for god sakes, WTF?
And Just for the record I also am of the belief that the USA owes no apology for deeds our great great great ancestors did to other races. If anything the native Americans were really screwed over, we didn't bother trying to enslave them, we just slaughtered them until 95% were dead they call that genocide, we reduced them from a population of 12 million to 270,000. Thats quite a few more than Hitler. Of course the American school system doesn't touch that subject, and no one went to any special trials or is demonized in any way, but there it is none the less.
