Two points IFF. I think that link to the police transmissions MAY have been editted down in length to leave out some silence, unlike their 911 tape. The reason I say that may be is that another site indicated it was 40 seconds from the time Crowley asked for the 911 caller to come to the door (and was advised it wasn't her home) and the time that Crowley indicated Gates was "uncooperative", yet it was only 13 seconds or so on the link above. FWIW anyway.
Secondly, yes, the suitcase thing is odd. But I would think that what Crowley put into his report was from his quick talk with the 911 caller outside the home, not from the 911 call itself. Perhaps different things were said then. Don't know.... That could explain the "two black men" part too, if she said that in person to Crowley (she was outside the building by that time... may have seen them.)
It is clear that you can hear Gates in the background (pretty loudly) at a couple points in the tape.
I will have to listen again for that "keep the cars coming" bit again as that doesn't appear consistant with the report (or what was said later... I forget...) Will do that when I get a minute.
Love armchair detective work, eh?
