Gates 911 Call

The aftermath of the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. saw some very negative fallout and accusations of racism, and there were repeated requests to hear the Gates 911 Call. The Gates 9/11 call has been released, and there isn’t mention of the race in the call. Gates was trying to get into his own home after returning from a trip, and the door was jammed. In the process of trying to gain access, police were called thinking it was a burglary. Gates apparently became hostile to officers, and was booked for that reason, charges having later been dropped. No suits have been filed, but no one needs payday loans to get the Gates 911 Call transcripts.
