Was the Professor Gates Sgt. Crowley Affair as Case of Racial Profiling or Just a Standard Contempt of Cop Case?

As a Maryland Criminal Attorney I am often confronted with cases in which a white police officer stops an African American (usally a man). In many, if not most, of these cases the person stopped believes that he was racially profiled or that at the very least, his race played a part in the officer’s decision to stop and/or arrest him.
