Reading these5 news reports together, it appears that the Racine police are now saying the arrestee was "setting them up" ala the Gates arrest in Cambridge, MA some weeks ago, see http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/07/22/harvard.gates.interview/index.html.
The facts appear otherwise, at least as reported by these two newspapers:
1. Police dispatched to investigate firearms discharge by man of certain description.
2. Police proceed to interrogate man #2 (Frank)of another description who was on his front porch and happenned to be open carrying a handgun.
3. Man # 2 refuses to answer police questions.
4. Police arrest man # 2 for "obstructing justice."
5. Police then issue "a warrant recommendation for another man."
6. Police claim defense that man # 2 (Frank) "set them up."
Hmmmmmmmmmm.
