My understanding of it first time around was that he was in the house, on the phone, when the police arrived. It wasn't until he followed them outside and continued to raise hell that they arrested him.

Just imagine how pissed he would have been to return home and find his house had been cleaned out in his absence, then learn that his neighbor had seen two guys breaking in but decided not to call police because they were black and that would profiling.

This was a lose-lose situation for the police. If this man was determined to make it a racial thing the ball was in his court. It should help some that one of the officers was black.

This looks to me like a case of employing the old “the best defense is a strong offense” rule to me.

He says he never yelled at the police, but that will be easy enough to confirm based on witnesses. And supposedly there's a picture of him on the porch yelling.
