The long-awaited 911 tape and audio of the controversial July 16 arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. are being made public for the first time today, Cambridge officals just announced.
The tapes will speak for themselves, said Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas.
Hass said the tapes will create some confusion, but only with police codes youll hear but the remainder of the tapes are crystal clear.
Its in plain language in most part and you can draw your own conclusions, Haas.
In the 911 tapes, Lucia Whalen can be heard spelling out the name of the street and saying that another woman approached her about seeing two men trying to enter the Ware Street home.

Here is a picture of the front of the house. Note that it might be a little hard to see who was trying to get in the front door because of the bushes.
a neighbor...
I’d drink to if I had a driver to drive me home.
We know she's a neighbor, how?
Gate’s house is bright yellow...maybe its the one in the background.
That’s the 911 call. Where’s the other one, where you said you can hear Gates yelling?
You are right..he had an attitude..I wonder if it was because she sounded white.
And why such an attitude about the suitcases. She was just reporting what she was seeing.
She sounded like she was thinking...I am just reporting an incident..I don’t know what is happening..why are you giving me such grief.
I just sent newsmanager@foxnews.com an email about it. It is tacky and something CNN or MSNBC would do. Is Geraldo running the news operation there?
The maybe I'm wrong. The 911 caller did say 17 Ware and that is what I linked to. Hmm..
Apparently, Gate's has housing provided and even a driver? I wonder how much he is paid with benefits? I'd like to know how often he even teaches a class.
Fox said they will play “bits and pieces” of the tapes...whatever that means.
I was just remembering today that I'd heard maybe twice (on WRKO hourly news) that such a tape existed. Wasn't it just before O made his "conciliatory" speech? I don't think the MSM picked up the existence of those tapes at all!
good point.
only because the 911 calling woman said so.
who knows who it was? and why did she not call herself?

I figured it was probably an older neighbor who was outside (maybe going for a walk) and didn’t have a cell phone. OTOH, it could have been staged.
Bushes fault?
Faux News is subtly leftist. Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals 5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage." Thanks I did as well.
I’ve been searching for the arrest tape, too, especially after some here have reported hearing it. If anyone finds it, I’d appreciate a ping.
There’s audio at the webpage linked for the article. (See righthand side where it says, “Gates arrest 911 and radio audio.”) But, it’s not working for me, so I don’t know what’s on it, if anything.

If this incident was a setup(and I don't know if it was), then what better way to disguise the setup than to launder the witness?
I'm reminded of Jessie Jackson's immortal words, "America, Stay out of the bushes".
