DemocracyNow on HLGates arrest

In the story below, there is apparently a significant, glaring misstatement, if not outright lie. In particular, the phrase "despite proof of residence" completely contradicts every online reference I can find on the topic. What I can find is that Gates did not provide any proof of residence or ID, but rather said "you don't know who you're dealing with"

Police Accused of Bias After Arresting Harvard Scholar Inside His Own Home

One of the nation’s most prominent African American scholars, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., has accused police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, of racial profiling after he was arrested in his own home late last week. Gates is the head of Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and American Studies. Gates arrived at his home in Cambridge last Thursday afternoon to find his front door jammed. As he tried to pry it open, a neighbor called the police department and reported that a robbery was in progress. Gates grew frustrated when an investigating officer did not believe he was the owner of the home despite proof of residence. According to a police report of the incident, Gates called the officer a racist and said, “This is what happens to black men in America.” Eventually Gates was handcuffed and taken to the police station. Gates was charged with disorderly conduct.

When Sgt. James Crowley arrived, he said Gates already was inside. But when he was asked to provide identification, Gates allegedly snapped, “No, I will not!”
