61. I think this case is an appropriate answer to your post.

Having worked in LEO, having trained LEO, having relatives that are LEO, I believe that Gates' version is much closer to the truth than the cop's version.

The cop was in the wrong and was racial profiling, he just was embarrassed by his own racist conclusion and instead of admitting his mistake, he called Gates to the front porch so he could try to make the "disturbing the peace" charge stick.
