It was his indignation over a US police officer - a young man in a bomber jacket no less! - being so 'barbaric and brutal' to treat a stiff upper-lipped English gentleman the same as a commoner that got him into this mess.
Between all his outrage he doesn't seem to realise that his indignancy over the APD roughing up an 'ageing and old-fashioned European intellectual' implies that they apparantly should reserve this kind of treatment to young, uneducated Afro-Americans.
Small wonder he still doesn't understand America after having lived there for a over a year, if he doesn't even realise that the place had a revolution centuries ago just to end this kind of typically British upper-class demand for special treatment.
