Barry Arrested, Claims He Was Targeted
Barry Considers Suit Against D.C., Park Police
WASHINGTON -- Marion Barry said that he is talking to his lawyers and thinking about suing the D.C. government and the U.S. Park Police after he was stopped, arrested and then released this past Saturday.
Barry said that he was driving to a holiday party around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when U.S. Park Police officers, who said that he was driving too slowly, stopped him.
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.
Park Police said Barry's license was in fact suspended, and that's why he was arrested.

Did you know if you were caught,
And you were smokin' crack,
McDonalds wouldn't even wanna take you back,
You could always just run for mayor of D.C.

Racial profiling eh? Well considering he's a convicted cocaine and marijuanica user...I see...perhaps..convicted criminal profiling? And in that case...PROFILE AWAY!

I kind of felt that way about Coleman Young in Detroit. Only WE had to put up with his blustering for MUCH longer. Things finally started getting fixed up once he left office....funny that...
