A question prompted by the post below:

How is Israel in the West Bank different in any way from the Soviet policy back in the Soviet era of settling Russians in non-Russophone territory or the Chinese Sinicizations of Tibet and Uighurstan? 

It's a simple question, which will no doubt product convoluted and complex answers.
 

Gates 911 call.

[futurebird.livejournal.com]

You can listen to the call placed by Whalen. She never mentions "Two black men" instead she says "one man who might be Hispanic." She also is uncertain that it is even a break in. In addition, she says she never spoke to Sgt. James Crowley! But, Sgt. James Crowley, says that he did speak to her in his police report (upon arriving at the scene) and he claims she is the one who told him it was 2 black men with backpacks.

Hence, the police report contains factual errors.

Before the 911 call was released Gates said the flowing:

O'BRIEN: A neighbor called 911. I mean, it was a neighbor of yours who said that description, two black men breaking into your house. Are you angry with your neighbor?

GATES: No. In fact I hope right now that if someone is breaking into my house this nice lady is calling the police. I have a lot of valuable art and books in that house. And in fact, I think I'm going to send this
person some flowers. I hope she is watching. I know that she must be intimidated and she must think that I'm very angry.

It wasn't her fault. It was the fault of the policeman who couldn't understand a black man standing up for his rights right in his space. And that's what I did. And I would do the same thing exactly again. (source)

Will, Crowley also apologize to Whalen for the errors in his police report that lead some people to think she was racist? Why did Crowley claim that he spoke to Whalen when she says this did not happen. Why did Crowley claim that Whalen said she saw "two black men with backpacks" when she never said any such thing?
