So Why Haven't We Heard The 911 Call Yet?

[WeDidIt]

Any time there's a big controversial police incident, regardless of what the controversy, the 911 call is always played endlessly in the media.

Where the hell is the audio from the Gates 911 call?

Why the hell isn't it being played endlessly?

Reporting a suspected crime is a public act and is a matter of the public record.

Why haven't they named the caller?

What is the Cambridge Police Department hiding?

Was there even really a 911 call, or is that a lie made up by Crowley and being backed up by the Cambridge Police Department?

1. I think they did name the caller in one of the articles.

Was there even really a 911 call, or is that a lie made up by Crowley and being backed up by the Cambridge Police Department?

Because he happened to know that there was a black man in that house, who had just arrived home from a long trip?

There is enough crazy going on around this already. Don't make up more.

Until I hear the 911 call, it's possible he happened by, saw Gates entering

and took matters into his own hands.

[Captain Hilts]

3. It is agreed by all that he was responding to a possible breaking and entering. That's not in doubt

[WeDidIt]

4. Then why hasn't the 911 call been played on my TeeVee?

Is it possible that from the description by the neighbor ther's no way possible Gates could have been confused with the alleged robber?

[Captain Hilts]

12. The caller saw TWO men at the door. The driver helped. nt

15. I'm not getting crazy here, but I can't find Whalen as a neighbor

I'm not familiar with Cambridge, but Lucia Whalen only shows up living in Carver, Hingham, Marshfield, and Mashpee.

[Captain Hilts]

2. It's not an issue. Gates praised his neighbor for calling the police. nt

[Hannah Bell]

18. she's not his neighbor. she just works at harvard.

5. Lucia Whalen is the caller's name. It's in the police report.

Or maybe you think that's a lie too because, well, all "cops" are lying racist pigs.

Here's a link to the police report if you care to read it.

10. Can't wait to hear it!

You know it will, it's a matter of time...should be good!

:popcorn:

11. Excellent question. Where IS the 911 call?

[zonkers]

13. Lets hear the cops radio calls! Remember Sgt. Powell "Gorillas in the Mist" Rodney King slurs

that haunted him at the trial? That was a sad moment in race relations

[imdjh]

14. I'll give you this: It would be interesting to know WHERE Lucia Whalen called from.

[TorchTheWitch]

16. Oh for fuck's sake! Now you have to start making shit up???

The 911 tape hasn't been played endlessly or at all because it's completely immaterial. The fact that there was one has never been in dispute. Do you really need to make up outrageous crap to continue the vilification of this officer?

[imdjh]

17. Now now. The real reason the 911 call tape hasn't been played...

.... is because the operator didn't hang up on the caller after calling her a foul mouthed moron.

[Skidmore]

19. How about the driver that was helping unstick the door? Witness?

Why don't we know his name and why hasn't he told what he saw?
