Apparently the 911 caller did not state "black" and mentioned hispanic in passing reference.

Kind of leaves one with more questions than answers.

Some cops have thicker skin than others.

I have no doubt that when Gates described the assembling patrol cars in front of his residence as a "cop convention", thats exactly what it was. I counted six patrol cars and a wagon three weeks ago in response to a couple arguing (loudly) on JFK street. Now, I'm all about diffusing conflict, but at no point did the man or woman threaten to get physical. It seemed a bit much. Perhaps it was a slow saturday night.
