Am I mistaken that the officers were responding to a possible break-in? Pictures also show a black officer at the scene. Are we saying that this officer would be so spineless as not to intervene if he thought the arrest was racist motivated? Or was he racist too? What you have are officers, that place their lives on the line. They don't know which call it will be. And HELLO! the call they were responding too was a possible home invasion! Up until the point where he proved he was a resident of that home, they had no idea who he was. How many robbery suspects do you think try to convince an officer they belong there? I don't know what glass palaces you live in. I live in a city where home invasion has become an epidemic. They are more brazen than ever with daytime robberies and ever increasing in violence. If I were in an instance such as this...where I had to fight to get into my home...and a unknowing neighbor called the police. I would for one...be glad a nosey neighbor was looking out, and at least acted, rather than do nothing which now seems the norm. Two...I would respect the officers stance of not knowing who I was, and furnish the requested information...and THANK them for their service. The problem is...the officers were doing their job. They encountered a man who couldn't control his own behavior. And because he's black...it's ok? I for one...don't get it.

Yes you are mistaken. It was a B&E call (Breaking and Entering). "Home Invasion" is quite a different situation where possible hostages may be involved. The responding Officer was given bad info by Dispatch and was slow to realize what the true situation really was. If it was an actual "Home Invasion" a single Officer response is totally inadequate.
