Here's how I think it went down.
Neighbor sees someone trying to get in the front door of a house and suspects
it's a break in so they call police.
Police answer the call and find a person inside the house. The person provides identification proving that he is in fact the resident of the home.
Police are satisfied and are ready to leave but the homeowner gets irate and plays the race card saying this would have never happened if he was white. Police try to diffuse the situation but the homeowner becomes increasingly belligerent. After ignoring numerous request by the officers to calm down he's arrested for disorderly conduct.
The homeowner then takes it public to gain notoriety and use the incident as a teaching tool. The incident is misunderstood and race never played a part in it until the homeowner decided it should.
