COMMENTS: Tumultuous
ABC, which missed the Henry Louis Gates story when it broke Tuesday, played catch-up as Dan Harris followed up on NBC's Mike Taibbi and CBS' Jim Axelrod. Professor Gates had been arrested at his own Harvard home by Cambridge police for disorderly conduct and subsequently released without charges. Harris gave us this summary of the police version of the dispute: "Gates initially refused to show his ID and then exhibited loud and tumultuous behavior and made accusations of racial bias in full view of the public." Then he offered Gates' version: "He did not behave inappropriately and if he were not black he would have been treated differently." Mused Harris: "There is no sign that we are now living in a post-racial America."
