I don't think it is a racial thing as much as it is a stupid police officer thing. But, yes race does also play a role.
There is a point where the job ends, and your personal feelings take things further. It seems like it happened on both sides -- but the key for me is the police officer should have known it would be absolutely ridiculous to arrest someone in their own home.
Worse University Police get paid MASSIVE amounts more than regular police to avoid these types of situations in particular. My guess is that's why it was a Cambridge officer who fucked up rather than a Harvard University police officer. Even though they had something like 5 police officers there for one pint sized half-crippled old guy.
