A rich entitled white man being treated by law enforcement as if he was just some poor or middle class person of color.

What is this world coming to?

Plus, because he has money, unlike poor people, he posted bail and was immediately out.

And I'm sure--contrary to Trump's instructions--that they took care NOT to slam his head while they were pushing him into the back seat of the car.

Exactly what I thought when Chris Mathews was bitching about it Friday. How horrible to embarrass a felon with that show of force!

Just like it's ok to tell police not to worry about bashing someone's head into the police car when taking them into custody ... And it's absolutely OUTRAGEOUS to suggest that it's "stupid" to handcuff and arrest a man for entering his own home.

It all depends on who (i.e., what race) the arrestee is.
