Everyone, please read the report at least. Gates response to cop asking for id is quote "I will not"

You're forgetting one thing in all of this -- Gates had no idea WTF was going on. He was in his own home, minding his business when a cop comes to his door and asks him to step outside.
Anyone with half a brain knows that in your house you're on your turf, once you step outside you're on the cops, so he was right to refuse.
And FYI, that police report is fucking bullshit.
