Now that Lucia Whalen ( who was not the woman who observed these men to begin with ) has made her statement, there is more than enough evidence that the police officer fabricated the entire conversation in the police report that he claims he had with her - prior to the "encounter" with professor Gates.

Police Incident Report http://ow.ly/iwiv

"As I reached the door, a female voice called out to me. I turned and looked in the direction of the voice and observed a white female, later identified as Lucia Whalen. Whalen, who was standing on the sidewalk in front of the residence, held a wireless telephone in her hand and told me that it was she who called. ( end of reality ) She went on to tell me that she observed what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch of xx Ware Street. She told me that her suspicions were aroused when she observed one of the men wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry. Since I was the only police officer on location and had my back to the front door as I spoke with her, I asked that she wait for the other responding officers while I investigated further."

None of this happened, and Lucia Whalen stated that she said nothing to the officer except to identify herself as the caller. The rest is obviously fabricated for "probable cause."

There is no reason to believe the rest of this officers account either. If he could "mis-remember" having an entire conversation with someone he has never met, I'm not going to believe him when he says a Black Harvard Professor ( who in this country has cause to fear for his life in such situations ) was talking about the officer's "mama."

But you can bet everyone else ( including apparently, Colin Powell ) will continue to believe it. The statements this officer made about Gates behavior can likely be found on the arrest reports of any black man in this country. It's not a new excuse for arresting Black Men by any stretch of the imagination.

I suggest that Gates and Obama demand an apology from the Cambridge police for the stereotypical false representation on the police report... and apology or not, Gates need to sue for a variety of reasons.

The Obama Problem: http://ow.ly/ix52. Glen Beck is just a product of American "Reality"
