So, one of them is lying.
As for the racism? Every article I've read about the incident confirms that Gates was being a prick by playing the racism card. So, who was the racist one? The cops doing their job by responding to a suspected B&E, or Gates for accusing the cops of being racist for doing their job?

Again I'd be a prick too. Once ID is shown that's where the interaction should end, period. It's been proven that its his home, and the cops have no reason to be there, they should leave.
I'm not going to get into whether it's racism or not because we can't successfully confirm what the thoughts of either side was. If Gates felt it was as a result of racial profiling, that's his choice. Regardless, the cops should be gone as soon as there was no reason for them to be there.
