You are mistaken and even Crowley's report reflects his failures (though he tried to purdy it up.)

Let me repeat this language from the Mass Supreme Court case.

Given that an inherent part of police work involves being in the presence of distraught individuals, and given that police officers are trained to maintain order, the Court concluded that police should be the least likely to be provoked.

It doesn't matter what type of person Gates is, Crowley is supposed to be a trained professional. His job is to protect and serve, not escalate a situation and then arrest.
