It looks like good old Jesse Jackson isn't happy with the result. He wants something done about the "humiliation" that these pigs put this poor black man through. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
I can't believe that a person of this caliber is trusted to teach people at a university. But then again, I don't see this guy ever being able to work in the real world, so he probably fits in quite nicely with all of the other circle-jerkers in higher education who don't have to worry about holding a real job.

If you read the articles that have already been posted here, it was already said that yes, a black officer was present. In fact, it was the black officer who uncuffed his hands from the back and cuffed him again, with his hands in front, as he would not be able to use his cane otherwise. That officer was not the one inside the home.
As far as the real job jab, last I checked there were thousands of people willing to pay several thousand dollars to go there, so I don't see what is "unreal" about his job.

Disorderly conduct is not just for public drunkenness anymore

As someone mentioned, this varies from state to state. Massachusetts specifically has a case that defines it:
Commonwealth v. Mulvey
so, again, and specifically to MA, disorderly conduct can only take place in an area accessible to the public. The police officer was surely aware of this, and in a clever attempt to arrest Gates, came up with a lame excuse (the acoustics in the kitchen) to ask Gates to step outside, where he proceeded to arrest him in his porch, which certainly is a stretch of the law, since the officer asked him to go there.
