While not a crime, I suppose, I think it is OK to yell at an officer, but to tell the officer that he'll "talk with his mama outside" and shout "this is what happens to black men in America" isn't just showing a lack of "proper groveling obeisance", it's being...stupid. I believe the officer did plenty to try to diffuse the situation and that Gates clearly wanted a confrontation. Again, that's not a crime, but everything I've read seems to point to the officer acting in a completely rational and controlled fashion, and Gates was completely the opposite.
