It is the same as POTUS directing his Justice Department to review and change the unequal sentencing laws for crack and powder cocaine. When citizens are treated differently in contradiction to the Constitution, then it is up to the POTUS to show the nation that he is going to enforce the law, after all, the POTUS is the nation's top cop.

No, it's not the same. It's not the same at all. If you'd like for the POTUS and the Justice Department to investigate such things, then great. I'm all for it.
I disagree that the POTUS is the top cop, since there's nothing in the US Constitution that states it is his responsibility to be a police officer. He is the commander in chief, not the police chief. I don't know what fucked up interpretation of the US Constitution you read.
But, to INDIVIDUALLY discuss, a SINGLE situation, a PERSONAL friend of the POTUS, on a LOCAL issue, it is NOT representative of how treatment happens on a NATIONAL level.
If you think it is a reflection NATIONALLY, it's a fucked up twisted and bent fun house mirror you're using.
