'Special people' are different, of course. So the cop gets a paid vacation.

Understood and thanks. How this will play out in the international media is anyone's guess. I assumed that well dressed people waiting on the curb outside five stars hotels will be accosted more professionally. My mistake and your explanation sounds reasonable though hard to accept.

Of course Zeke would say do not hand around the curb of swanky hotels if you don't want to be manhandled by the police.
