Context:
“As I turned and faced the door, I could see an older black male standing in the foyer of Ware Street. I made this observation through the glass paned front door…”
Action:
“…Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had heard
the last of him.”
Humor:
His response was “ya, I’ll speak with your mama outside.”
Conflict:
“Due to the tumultuous manner Gates had exhibited in his residence as well as his continued tumultuous behavior outside the residence, in view of the public, I warned Gates that he was becoming disorderly.”
For the record if you’ve missed it, Harvard professor and PBS personality Henry Louis Gates was arrested outside of his home after a neighbor ( Lucia Whalen, a Harvard fundraiser) reported what appeared to her to be a break-in attempt at Gates’ home. The suspect turned out to be Gates himself. The police showed up and anything but hilarity ensued. Gates reported made loud accusations of racism. The officer was offended. The result was Gates’ arrest, embarrassment on both sides, a mug shot and fours hours in booking.
