and Gates was definitely being "disorderly" and uncooperative with the police officers during an investigation. His belligerent behavior was justification enough. The officer wanted Gates to step outside and Gates' response was, "Ya, I'll speak with your Momma outside."
Gates should be happy that the police responded the way they did. If it were me, I would have shown my ID rather than raise a ruckus. Gates deserved what get got and no apology is merited!
