You do understand officers complete reports pretty much immediately after an incident. Considering all that happened, the fact that Crowley made this misstatement in his report has no bearing on what happpened. Also, 911 calls are relayed to officers through 911 center personnel, who knows what was actually relayed to Crowley.

Lie #2: Crowley says he spoke to the 911 caller at the scene. 911 caller was never at the scene, did not kow what the scene was. she was relaying to 911 what an elderly lady had told her.

If these are the actual police reports:
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Police Report - July 23, 2009
Then Officer Figueroa and Ms. Whalen are liars also. You don't have your facts straight. Ms. Whalen was on-scene.

My suspicion: Crowley brings the professor to jail. What are the charges? Disorderly conduct. Here comes the lawyer: hmm, man at home, showed his ID, wasn't cooperating, cooperating with what?
Prosecutor: Not gonna embarass me in court. Gates would have a field day.
(Crowley slumped over his desk trying to use the race card to cover his stupid arrest that can't be prosecuted.)

How about this. City of Cambridge doesn't want an ongoing, racially charged, and very expensive media circus along with wasting man-hours on prosecution of a disorderly conduct charge.
I guess this doesn't matter either (from CNN):
Obama: I didn't mean to slight Cambridge police - CNN.com
"Numerous police officers, including African-Americans, have spoken up on Crowley's behalf and portrayed him as a good and fair officer. Crowley, who is white, had once been chosen by a black police officer to teach a police academy course on ways to avoid racial profiling.
Obama said he had heard of Crowley's record, saying, "I don't know all the extenuating circumstances, and as I said, I respect what police officers do. From what I can tell, the sergeant who was involved is an outstanding police officer, but my suspicion is probably it would have been better if cooler heads prevailed."
