I don't see how you can blame the cops. A neighbor called about a break in. They arrive and have no idea who Gates is. They ask him to produce ID. If he did so willingly that's one thing but if he refused to do that, then things are going to get ugly.
All that we have is the police report. If there is more to the story than what's in the report, the defense is going to have to tell us the other side of the story.
