    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the misdemeanor of disorderly conduct in the aftermath of the arrest of professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It notes the discretion left to police in accusations of disorderly conduct, historical examples including the arrest of many people at the 2004 Republican National Convention, and cries of discrimination that have attended other such arrests.
