That's on now. At 10am EDT, Michigan AG Mike Cox will be charging the mayor with two more felonies (assault and obstruction of justice).

1. Doesn't it seem like he's being targeted?
The charges against him seem pretty trivial. To put him in a jail cell, wearing a jumpsuit, seems like a way to humiliate him.

2. Ummm....no. If these charges where against Joe Schmoe, he would've been locked up long ago. nt

It is hard to feel to sorry for the man.

4. Not to mention the fact that a regular citizen would've been arrested on the spot
for assaulting a sheriff's deputy, and likely roughed up at the station house, too...
