Check this one out from Fox News:

Gates said in a statement that he turned over his driver's license and Harvard ID — both with his photos — and repeatedly asked for the name and badge number of the officer, who refused.

Also interesting, I see in the article that the house has an alarm system which the police are probably aware of. (Gates disable it by entering through a rear door, before he and his driver went to work on freeing the front door.)

seems he was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge.....not a burglary. hmm.

This photo from the scene provides some context. Somehow the whole story about racist behavior by the police seems a little less credible when you look at who was really there, and who appears to be yelling.
