Bob Dylan stopped by police. Dylan immediately charges cops with antisemitism.

From the AP:

Rock legend Bob Dylan was treated like a complete unknown by police in a New Jersey shore community when a resident called to report someone wandering around the neighborhood.

Dylan was in Long Branch, about a two-hour drive south of New York City, on July 23 as part of a tour with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp that was to play at a baseball stadium in nearby Lakewood.

A 24-year-old police officer apparently was unaware of who Dylan is and asked him for identification, Long Branch business administrator Howard Woolley said Friday.
"Do you know who I am?" (or something...it's hard to tell with him), an enraged Dylan shouted, refusing to cooperate with police. Dylan was arrested for disorderly conduct. In an ironic twist, the arresting officer, Schlomo Goldman, routinely gives diversity lectures to his fellow officers.

There is no word about whether or not Bob Dylan and the cop will be invited for a beer with the President.

Actually, there is a pretty funny exchange in the article. You should probably read it is what I'm saying.
