Report on the Henry Louis Gates arrest
As you may recall, last July’s arrest of Professor Gates by Sergeant James Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department made news headlines and resulted in a heated debate about “the ways in which issues of race, class, power, authority, and respect intersect with the everyday operations of the police.” (Report, p. 13)
Today’s Boston Globe discusses the report on Gates’ arrest and mentions how the report found both parties “at blame” for the incident and its aftermath. The report of the Cambridge Review Committee on the Gates’ arrest may be found in the City of Cambridge Police Department website.
