As I said in my earlier post concerning the Gates arrest, the situation wasn't about race, it was about two people who overreacted to the situation. However, in the wake of this controversy I now find that many people have no problem with the police arresting you on your own property for yelling at them.
I think this is ridiculous; the police cannot arrest you for being an asshole. Again, it is never a good idea be rude to a police officer, but they are trained to decipher between someone who constitutes a threat and someone who is upset and being defensive.
So, I have a poll set up in the sidebar about whether people think that the police can arrest you for yelling at them.
