Hi Jothar.
I dont know about this situation or trust any one source in the media, and I know there is always more to the picture than anyone will ever know, but in regards to your general questions, Jews are certainly not above the law.
Still, I am not the one who is going to cheer on law enforcement (except for what happened in Bklyn this past summer) when they are in pursuit of a Jew. There are enough of the other people to do that.
