Marion Barry is Arrested (Again)

Marion Barry, the discredited coke-head former mayor of Washington D.C. was arrested for driving with a suspended license.

He is contemplating suing the Park Police and the city for racial profiling and for inconveniencing him. (He was on his way to an mid-afternoon coke party, no doubt.)

Barry said the officers asked him for his license and registration and then said that his license was suspended.
Barry told NBC4 the suspension was a clerical mistake, and he accused the U.S. Park police of racial profiling.

I wonder what Barry thinks the police were profiling him as. The report says the cops stopped him for "driving too slowly." Gee, I wonder what 'profile' he thinks the cops thought he fit.

I suppose if Barry is suing on the basis that the police profiled him as a senile grandpa in a huge Cadillac, he might actually have a case. Otherwise, Barry and his lawyers should probably form a defense based on demonstrating that a common African American racial streotype is that they slowly throw sparks onto the sidewalk while grinding the curb with their Lincoln Towncar hubcaps and coast past all stop signs at 6 mph.
