Cigarettes don't light gasoline or gas fumes.

What about paper? Seems to be some of that around the gas cans.

I read it as 'sutuyaid cops', myself, and was kind of confused for a minute.

Cops are a fucked up bunch in so many ways ...

By the way ...

He didn't say stupid cops, he said the the individual ACTED STUPIDLY.

But it's so obvious¹:

Cop A acted stupidly = Cop A is stupid = All cops are stupid = Anyone who questions Cop A's actions hates cops

¹ as long as you use wonky right-wing maths, that is.

You're either with cops or against them.

[adrunkencadence.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

He's right. Cops did act stupidly. Doing that to a famous Harvard professor would be stupid even if he weren't black.

Doing that to anybodya famous Harvard professor would be stupid even if he weren't black.
There! Fixed that for you!

You're right. It IS a crime to be angry in your own home.

Oh, wait.

Now now now, it's not his home, it's Harvard's home.

Yes, I have had that argument used against me as to why Gates is wrong.

So you think it is okay to arrest a man in his own home for the 'crime' of possibly being angry?

Also, the transcript of the 911 call (http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/07/the-gates-911-call.html) makes it clear to me that the police department was (intentionally or unintentionally) engaging in racial profiling.

I don't get it.

[jblaque.livejournal.com]

Neither does he, although he is getting the attention he craves.

yes. The cop acted stupidly. At least this one is factually accurate, even thought it's more stupid then the cop.
