Fibber does Gates
Some commentators have been saying that the policeman's need for total dominance of the situation is a fairly new phenomenon. Hardly. And of course it's not a racial thing either, as Heather Mac Donald has pointed out. It's just common sense, and always has been.
Here's a Fibber episode from 1939, where Fibber is caught acting like a burglar at his own house. Fibber gets in the cop's face, Gates-style, and the cop slaps him in jail. (The relevant action starts around 15 minutes into the clip.)
Note for idiots: Fibber McGee is Irish, which is a variety of Caucasian. The cop is also Irish, which is still a variety of Caucasian, just as it was in the previous sentence. Nobody in the episode is anything other than Caucasian, and yet for some mysterious unfathomable reason the cop still arrests Fibber. Maybe it's because Fibber is behaving like a criminal? Nah, the cop must have somehow decided that Fibber had a tinge of African blood. ¶ 7:34 AM
