This pretty much lays out the reason why Gates apparently wanted to be arrested, imo:

Scholar Says Arrest Will Lead Him To Explore Race in Criminal Justice

Something else I read that interested me was that Gates was apparently arrested five days before the news about it "broke" on Monday, and a "picture surfaced" of Gates in handcuffs on his front porch. Then, lo and behold, Gates' "good friend", the POTUS, takes a question at the end of his Wednesday evening "health reform" news conference and accuses the police of "acting stupidly". I wonder when the POTUS first heard that his good friend, Professor Gates, had been arrested.

Wouldn't ALL this fit nicely into a "racial profiling documentary" - especially after editing? Gates and the POTUS are talking a lot about "teachable moments". I hope the American people are learning the true lessons being taught by this "teachable moment" - not the one the POTUS and Professor Gates are attempting to spin for Gates to place into a documentary.
