NYC: Lawyer arrested after shoving cop over blocked sidewalk

Most surprising is that Shapiro is the cop in the exchange below...
When the officer wouldn’t back down in demanding Ashanti leave, the livid lawyer allegedly took things to the next level, shoving Shapiro in the right shoulder — twice.

Out came the handcuffs, but according to Shapiro, Ashanti kept fighting.

When Shapiro tried to arrest Ashanti, the lawyer “shoved me again, refused to put his hands behind his back, and flailed his arms, thus making it more difficult to handcuff him and place him under arrest,” the officer said.

Ashanti spent most of Thursday in custody before being arraigned on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing governmental administration, which is punishable by up to one year in jail. He was also charged with resisting arrest and harassment.

"I work for the corporation and have to get down the block."

Oh, in that case, since you're a black attorney, you can go right on by.

If you bend over backwards long enough,
