- Police Sergeant Enters African-American Home Uninvited (The Boston Globe)
"Gates’s lawyer and Harvard colleague, Charles Ogletree, said what angered his client was that the police officer stepped inside Gates’s Ware Street house, uninvited, to demand identification and question him."
"Gates showed his Harvard identification and Massachusetts drivers license with his home address, Ogletree said, adding, 'Even after presentation of ID, the officer was still questioning his presence.' "
"Said Bobo: 'The whole interaction should have ended right there, but I guess that wasn’t enough. The officer felt he hadn’t been deferred to sufficiently.' " 07-09
