Harvard Scholar's Arrest Stirs Race Debate

This is the booking shot released by the Cambridge Police Dept, from the arrest on July 16, 2009. It's interesting to think of the different outlook one takes on an article that includes a black and white mug shot, versus one that includes a color close up picture of the person. I think in these pictures you can see the pensive look in his face and his annoyance, if that is not understating the emotions of the incident. NPR did a good write up on the incident, covering the racial debate surrounding Gate's arrest.
