I, like fistful, thought the interesting bit about Dylan's interaction with the police was his lack of, "Do you know who I am?!!?"-ishness. In contrast to Gates, who acted like a damn fool.
If either man had a claim to squawk, "Do you know who I am?!!?" it would have been Dylan, who has sold millions of records and performed in front of millions.
Gates, OTOH, is known mainly by fools who miseducate themselves in "-studies" university programs and political junkies like myself.
Dylan was treated about as well as you can be treated in such a pit as NJ. Elsewhere in more free America, the incident may be outrageous, but in that wretched sink of corruption , it was kid-gloves.
As for Ragnar Danneskjold's tourette-ish serise of posts, I must say I lost track of his point in my laughter.
I don't have video cameras pointed at me, but my behavior is under constant scrutiny. Consequences for misbehavior on my part can be quite severe and examples of misbehavior I have seen prosecuted have had much more severe consequences than your average LEO gets when he screws a goat on Main Street.
