It needlessly moves the discussion into partisan territory. Although, to be fair, it does not invoke the litany of conspiracy theories/fake outrage around that arrest, acknowledges that it is standard procedure, and explains the background.
It would probably be better to explicitly mention that such police procedures are employed against thousands of non-violent people very year, that there is persistent racial bias in large parts of the judicial system, and that one should be so lucky to be protected from the worst by being a major figure of public interest and having camera teams present.
