At first I was irate-- incredulous that such a well-known academic could be subject to police action for a non-cause. However, as I thought about it, I got more frustrated because this incident hogs the headlines, but generates a feeling of incredulity in onlookers precisely because of Gates' fame-- and not because he is an average citizen experiencing an average encounter with law enforcement.
