Many times small incidents are escalated into something much more because of the inability of parties invloved to maintain a sense of discipline. Words and mannerisms' often change what a normal outcome would be.

Take the case of Henry Louis Gates for example: Asking the Police, do you know who I am? Well, in reality the Police do not give a .... who you are if they think you're in the process of committing a crime. A situation that could so easily be rectified winds up spiraling out of control all because of attitude.
