gates, dr. gates, had disturbed the peace and he's in handcuffs. interesting the picture of him in handcuffs shows a black officer in front of him and a hispanic officer there and the charges are dismissed the next day. i read it in my newspaper the next day, it looked just like this short story. but in this 24-hour news environment we're in, it went viral within about 24 hours. it's all over the country, all over the world. then it becomes a federal case when the president feels obliged to say something about it. the president said let this be an opportunity to have teaching done. >> larry: he said it was stupid. >> he said it was stupidity on part of the police force and pulled that back the next day. but then in the next day he said let's make this an opportunity to teach and learn. here's what i get out of it. the two women did what they were supposed to do, sergeant crowley showed up to do what he was supposed to do. the argument that took place between the two of them reminds me of when i was a young infantry company commander and on monday m

the sergeant a human face on the police, the sergeant crowleys and dr. gates of the world let them see each other as human beings and understand each other's realities and that's when we can bridge that gap. most of the folks are trying hard as you put it in difficult jobs. i would encourage will brown and be glad to help him in any way i could. bring law enforcement into that discussion, into that reconciliation and truth-telling sessions. now all of a sudden, we'll see each other as people as opposed to us versus them. >> i said to one of the people who work here is that you know, we have an opportunity here. >> absolutely sfwhul special media and cnn to have a nationwide town hall meeting at churches online and here on television to really talk about these issues and hear people out without judging them. i appreciate all of you for this. your frank discussion, amos brown, senior pastor of the third baptist church in san francisco, estuardo rodriguez and richard weisblatt in centralie technical college. great, thank you guys. here's what you guys are saying.

e-mail around that has in the e-mail four times, not one time, not two times, four times referring to dr. gateso should be returned to his roots this is a sitting boston cop so wait a minute, this cannot be ex-age rated that you have some problems along raisial lines with some police. not even most police but some, it certainly didn't rule it out and when you have a lady coming forward that had been identified by the arresting officer of having said that there were two blocks with backpacks that she had reported, when she said i never said that at all and the tapes vindicate her saying it was never said on tape. she said she never saw it at scene so where did this description of blacks with a backpack come from? raise race. >> i don't think race has anything to do with this. i don't think it had anything to do with it at the time and to suggest otherwise is frankly race baiting. >> geraldo: race baiting? >> i think the president should have had more information before he went into it in the middle of a conference on healthcare. >> geraldo: many more on this. and we will go too (announcer) some

native american ancestors, and after this somebody will come up to me at the reception and say, yes, dr. gateshat's true, but mine really does. [laughter] but my overall mixture to my horror and astonishment is 50/50. i just took a test for the new series 23 and me which is a great series, and i just got the results back on friday. i'm getting whiter by the minute. again to my horror. [laughter] now i'm 57 percent white and 37 percent african and 7 percent asian/native american, so it's interesting. >> why is it interesting, meaning why have you spent the past, i guess, six, seven years now being interested in the dna and the tracing, the books you've been writing on that? what does that tell us about who we are? >> well, there's a perm reason and a professional -- personal reason and a professional reason. the professional reason is for whatever, i don't know, for a long time i've been obsessed with restoring black people's history to black people and to the world. and i realize it's one thing to do it on a macro scale, the history of the negro, blah, blah, blah, but it's another thing to do

dr. henry gates jr. talks about the incident at a book signing in martha's vineyard yesterday. police investigating a possible break-in arrested gates in his own home. the arresting officer is caucasian, prompting some allegations of racial profiling. the president even weighed in, leading to the now famous beer summit at the white house. gates says he's not angry and has even invited the officer to a ball game. >> but i asked him if he would have lunch with me one on one. i asked him maybe we should go to a red sox game together, you know, maybe we could have dinner with our families, you know. why not? you know, i offered to get his kids into harvard. if he doesn't arrest me. >> they did admit this had been a difficult for him but he does not want to exaggerate it and that other people have gone through far worse things. >> after a lot of tension it's good they can laugh at it. >>> 11:28, 82 degrees outside. next at 11:30, how a family of geese has landed a virginia man in court. >>> also ahead, a major court hearing in the michael jackson case. what could happen today. >>> p

dr. henry louis gates, the harvard professor who was arrested after breaking into his own house and sergeant james crowley, the policeman who arrested him. there was one awkward moment they say when crowley asked obama for some i.d. but he was just kidding. vice president biden showed up too. i did not know he was going to be a part of it. i guess they wanted to even things out racially, but they sat around a table in the rose garden. and drank. i'm starting to think the president cooked this whole thing up because he didn't want to ask michelle if he could have a poker night or something. it was scheduled to last about an hour. but in fact, it looked like they were having fun. you can see here. they're in the white house, just on the edge of the rose garden there. you see they all had their beers. even played a little quarters. that looks all right, right? tomorrow morning it will be heretofore be known as racial harmony hangover day. president obama said this is a teachable moment for the country and i like to believe it is. in fact, we went out in the street today and asked the local holl

dr. henry louis gates talked about the incident yesterday. police investigating a possible break-in arrested gates in his own home. the arresting officer is white, prompting some to say the officers were guilty of racial profiling. the president even weighed in, leading to the now-famous beer summit at the white house. gates says he is not angry and has even invited the officer to a ball game. >> but i asked him if he would have lunch with me, one-on-one. i asked him maybe we can go to a red sox game, maybe go to a celtic game together. maybe have dinner with our families, you know? why not? offered to get his kids into harvard. if he doesn't arrest me every day. >> gates did admit this has been a difficult time, but he says he does not want to exaggerate it and that other people have gone through far worse things. >>> well, the redskins are getting ready to kick off another day of training camp. >> dan hellie has more i your sports minute now. >> good morning, everybody. starting your sports minute in ashburn, virginia, with redskins trainin

he ended up getting shot and wounded but the real credit went to general horatio gates and those who gave credit was drh who was the most famous doctor in the american revolution and general gates replied to him, stop, doctor stop. let us be honest in war as in medicine natural causes not under our control do much. in the present case the great tacticians of the campaign were the hills and forests which a young polish engineer was skillful enough to select from my encampment. well, kosciuszko became closer and closer with general gates. that's because when slave owners tried to send their slaves to the battle of saratoga to fight in their place, gates allowed these black men to elist in the army under their own name and kosciuszko saw the black slaves of america the same way he did the white serfs under feudalistic europe. and while slavery was brutal than serfs was. they decided that they would put him in charge of what washington called was the key to america. west point. and the whole point of guarding west point was because the americans knew that the bripp$ would try to contain the american revolu

but one of henry gates' attorneys, professor dershowitz is here, dr. bob. he went to dartmouth, the rival school, though. was this about race or was this about something else? >> it was about a lot of things. i think the fact that sergeant crowley who i also know and who is a very decent man, his aunt has been helping us clean our house for 20 years, a wonderful woman, francine, i think the fact that he didn't believe that he owned the house immediately, the house has many pictures with skip and nelson mandella. after that it was contempt of cop or disturbing the police. if you talk back to the police that is going to happen. i got arrested in fenway park and taken away also twenty years ago. >> geraldo: you weren't streaking were you? >> a couple of seconds before the race. >> i think it was turning into class. it had been race and i think they stepped back saying this starts to look like, you know high brow harvard professor and a blue collar policeman but henry is a terrific guy and i love him. >> geraldo: we will take a break and be right back from brea

dr. due may d tu touma. last september 2008 with my next test michael's spiritual advisor june gate lynn the first voice you hear is michael jackson. >> jim gatlin joins me from los angeles. michael was concerned people were cutting him off from long time friends and advisors but didn't seem to do anything about it. june, go ahead. >> well, i am reverend june gatlin and it's very good to be with you geraldo even though the circumstances are very grievous. however, michael was deeply afraid of as they call him doctor tohme. this was one of the basis of our conversations. the man had cut michael off from everybody and was taking total control of mike em michael's li. that's not a good or positive thing. >> when you say he was afraid of tohme, did he tell you that specifically, reverend that he was afraid that this maven was trying to harm him? >> he was afraid and he did tell me that the purpose of our conversation with michael taking care and getting total control of his business. dr. tohme as he was called had some way etched or writing el d elled -- writing elled himself into everything he was doing. i tol

dr. richard wineblat, a former police chief and full-time law enforcement officer. i've gone to many calls we've seen and i don't think professor gates handled himself very well but i'm not sure about sergeant crowley either. we get paid to deal with belligerent people. this is the united states. we have the first amendment. he wasn't yelling fire in a crowded theater. he provided the i.d. the sergeant was satisfied. gates should have acted that way, granted, but we get paid to deal with belligerent people. we're supposed to take the high road, whether black officer or white officer. many officers have said to me across the country, black and white, that they hope we learn from this, this becomes a national dialogue. the police are a part of the community. >> that's probably what i hear most from people who write in to me about this story is how can you be arrested in your own home? since when is mouthing off a crime or disorderly conduct? and why didn't the officer, once he realized who it was, just let the situation go and move away? >> i said this on your show last sunday, this was contempt of cops. this cop arrested him because h

dr. tiller he had become too serious to joke about, which i would continue with unless of course i decided to change the rules. so tonight's runner-up, billo the clown. after the arrest of professor gatesnews went back to his excursion two years ago to meet some black people. remember when i went up to sylvia's and had dinner with al sharpton and said it's like any other restaurant in america. it's a nice place with nice people. i got served great. then the left wing turned it into i was denigrating saying oh, he didn't think sylvia's was going to be nice. yes. that's not what you said. billo on september 19th, 2007. i couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in new york city. i mean, it was -- it was exactly the same. even though it's run by blacks. primarily black patronship. it was the same. that's really what this society is all about now. there wasn't one person in sylvia's screaming, i want more iced tea. you know, i mean everybody was, it was like going into an italian restaurant in an all white suburb. in the sense of people were sitting there and ordering and having fun and there wasn't any craziness at all. >

dr. conrad murray gave jackson the drug in the 24 hours before he died. a coroner's report on jackson's death has been postponed indefinitely. >>> here's my issue. last night president obama raised glasses with henry lewis gates jr. and police sergeant james crowley hoping to quell the uproar over the gates arrest. over a couple of beers. it's being touted as a teaching moment to discuss america's racial issues. sure, it was a grand gesture, but it's the same old debate. when will we have a 12st century post-racial conversation about the underlying causes of all these sorts of situations? it goes way beyond rights. it's about making false assumptions about race, gender, sexualilty, status, class, you name it. we're guilty of it. this incidence brought the race to the forefront but the discussion needs to go beyond race and all the way to thum condition. for more analysis, tune into issues tonight at 7:00 p.m. eastern. ing? >> tonight on issues more jackson drama. they called him an addict in search warrants and reports said jackson spent his last night in dr. conrad murray's room. why? monday is the big. >>down. will katherine jackson get her way? >> border patrolman robert rosas hoped to see his 2-year-old s
