I'm glad cooler heads have prevailed:
Joint Press Release from City of Cambridge, Cambridge PD, Middlesex
County D.A., and Prof. Gates
The City of Cambridge and the Cambridge Police Department have
recommended to the Middlesex County District Attorney that the
criminal charge against Professor Gates not proceed. Therefore, in
the interests of justice, the Middlesex County District Attorney's
Office has agreed to enter a nolle prosequi in this matter.
The City of Cambridge, the Cambridge Police Department, and
Professor Gates acknowledge that the incident of July 16, 2009 was
regrettable and unfortunate. This incident should not be viewed as
one that demeans the character and reputation of Professor Gates or
the character of the Cambridge Police Department. All parties agree
that this is a just resolution to an unfortunate set of
circumstances.
