According to today’s New York Post:

“A multiracial group of police officers stood with the white officer who arrested a black Harvard scholar and asked President Barack Obama and Gov. Deval Patrick apologize for comments union leaders called insulting.”

Thank you, Cambridge.  The actual police report of the incident is posted at The Smoking Gun.  The report shows that Professor Gates clearly lost his temper and was creating a disturbance.  It is nice to see the Cambridge Police Force standing behind Sargent James Crowley in this instance. 

Anyone who owns a home appreciates the police checking on their house if there is a report of a break-in; I really think Professor Gates overreacted and needs to apologize to the Sargent.
