Mass. police to release 911 call in Gates arrest

Associated Press Writer

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Cambridge police are preparing to release a copy of the 911 call and radio dispatches made during the controversial arrest of last week black Harvard scholar Henry Louise Gates Jr.

Police Commissioner Robert Haas said at a news conference Monday that the "tapes will speak for themselves," when asked if police should have done anything differently.

The call led to the arrest of Gates on a disorderly conduct charge, and a resulting national debate about racial profiling.

Gates' supporters called his arrest by Sgt. James Crowley an outrageous act of racial profiling. Crowley's supporters say Gates was belligerent and race was not a factor in his arrest.
