Sounds to me like he was being arrested for being an arsehole, but i'm sure you can put a different spin on it!

It was later revealed to have been a scene from Soul Man 2 the sequel nobody demanded.

Yeah i was thinking he got arrested for being a loud and disruptive, i mean he was arrested after yelling at the oficer, it isn't like the officer arrived on the scene and arrested him.

from the police report it seems like he was being a bit of a dick but that town has a well earned reputation of racism and I'm sure the police officer had a few choice words that weren't in that report

you are right. You cant just yell at a cop all willy-nilly

If he would've just shut his big mouth, he probably wouldn't have been arrested.

a person cant just mouth off at a cop but when a person feels that he is being discriminated against then its hard to stay quiet. I know i couldn't

his stock just went up

he can now (if he chooses) leave Harvard and go to another University and probably have a best seller book on the NY Times list in the coming months if he so chooses.........

up until now no one really knew who he was

Another link to racism http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/07/17/...uit/index.html A lot of cops ARE racist. And the reason I know is I have a family member who is one. (cop and racist). Funny thing is (kind of) he makes a big deal about going to church every Sunday.
