From Simple Justice:

Now that the Cambridge Police Department, along with its unions for supervisory personnel as well as the rank and file, have made it abundantly clear that Crowley’s arrest of Gates was not because of race but because of belligerence, the opportunity presents itself to ask why citizens are required to be complacent and cooperative with police rousting them in their own homes?  Certainly the path of least resistance, but when did we give up the right to get angry with a police officer?

I wonder what our founding fathers would have thought about someone being arrested on their own property for loudly voicing displeasure or insulting “authority.”
