It was really ridiculous. I work in Law enforcement and I know Sgt. Crowley had only a few moments to size up the seen he was dispatched to and he handled it with the upmost professionalism anyone could ask for. Gates should appologize but if he doesn't who cares any rational person knows he was the one "acting stupidly" in the situation. The one who absolutely owes Sgt. Crowley the Appology and I would have stopped at nothing less is President Obama. He and He alone is the one who turned this local matter into the national circus it became.
