Yes, I quoted his report in a post earlier. He basically said that after the professor showed his Harvard ID, he stayed in the house and called for Harvard police backup. I believe the professor stated that he showed both his DL and the Harvard ID.
I'm just of the opinion that if the professor was already upset about them being in there, at the point where he did comply with the request to identify himself, the officer should have left. I think that it is very likely that the officer did get upset at how the professor was disrespecting him and you were dealing with two men who felt disrespected for whatever reason.
I know that each side will say that they were acting very civil and were the picture of genteelity...
I just don't think it should have come to this.
