Cambridge Police have released a copy of the 911 call and radio dispatches that were made during the arrest of Harvard scholar Henry Skip Louis Gates Jr.
According to Police Commissioner Robert Haas, “the tapes will speak for themselves.” The controversial arrest, an alleged case of racial profiling, occurred while Cambridge Police Sgt. James Crowley was investigating a reported burglary and arrested the homeowner after he became combative.
The case took on an additional notoriety when President Barack Obama called the actions of the arresting officer “stupid”.
