What a crazy story. Here’s the Boston Globe account. Here’s the police report.(PDF). I’m generally a fan of Gates and a lot is still unknown. But at minimum, I think it’s interesting how the Globe’s coverage is immediately and almost entirely about the alleged racial angle. If I were the arresting officer, I might wonder why my version of events deserves so much less credulity. Then again, I might not.

Update: Skip Gates’ version of the story is here.
