Gates was offended that a 'lowly' officer took a stern tone with a Harvard Man such as himself. He should step outside of his Ivory Tower once in awhile.
Being inside of a home and claiming that you own it isn't proof of ownership. Answer the officer's questions, give him the ID he asks for. If there really was a break-in, Gates' life could be threatened. There is nothing wrong with the officer trying to establish who owns what and who belongs where, after somebody reports a break-in.
Gates should have been thankful for the officer's speedy response, and more understanding of the officer's perspective. Instead he's using the event to manufacture a racial tension.
