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. "I don't think she was familiar with his entire body of work," Woolley said. The incident began at 5 p.m. when a resident said a man was wandering around a low-income, predominantly minority neighborhood several blocks from the oceanfront looking at houses. The police officer drove up to Dylan, who was wearing a blue jacket, and asked him his name. According to Woolley, the following exchange ensued: "What is your name, sir?" the officer asked. "Bob Dylan," Dylan said.

How amazing is it that Bob Dylan cooperated and didn't claim to be profiled or even harassed! hmm?

I expect Gates got a promise of a whole ton of stimulus money, in return for STFU about a lawsuit, in order to get that whole thing out of the news cycle.

That's because Gates had a agenda, trash the whitey police officer and yell " RACISM !! " and then had his tag team WW Wrestling match buddie trash the whitey police officer on national TV.

When white drug buyers go to drug neighborhoods to buy drugs, the CHIEF law breakers are the BUYERS..?
No, but the buyers are WHITE and there is such a thing as PRIORITIES, ok? I mean there are just SOME things society cannot tolerate.
Oh...and uh...there IS a war on drugs, OK? Remember that.

"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." So what? Is Bob Dylan some sort of God or something that everyone is required by law to know who he is and what he looks like? I would walk right past him as well. If I bothered to remember what he looked like I'd probably hurl an insulting comment at him as I walked by about his idiotic political views, misguided environmentalism, what a hypocrite he is expecting others to conserve while he exploits to satisfy his enormous carbon appetite.

The cops should be fired, prosecuted and sent to a work camp in Siberia.

The officer did the officer’s job.
