I actually hunted down the report (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0723092gates1.html http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0723092gates...) and no where does the officer claim the 911 callers said "two black men" in the call.
Again, as far as the conversation taking place its Whalen (the caller) vs Crowley (the Officer) since they were the only ones there. So the only way you can claim that’s a fabrication is if you just decide to believe her over him (which as I point out above isn’t really the logical conclusion given she’s claiming not to use racial identifiers when she clearly does)
So again, I see no fabrication here. At least no provable one.
- nollidge 17y agoIt's on the first page of the report, last paragraph, lines 4-7: "Whalen...told me it was she who called. She went on to tell me that she observed what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch of [redacted] Ware Street."
