She didn’t know if she was being arrested and was in pajamas. I’ve read of other famous people being given plenty of time (in FL) to get ready before a search warrant is executed. Considering what we know about Florida and what is happening there with COVID and it’s reporting, I am willing to give her the benefit of doubt. Plus the pretext of the warrant is bad. “Cops just doing their job” doesn’t matter when it is a politically motivated state actor. They are the state and a part of the machine being used to violate her rights.

I wouldn't call it an injustice that she wasn't granted some sort of special treatment that's normally reserved for "famous people".

It’s more about fair and equal treatment, whatever that is. The hypocrisy of modern policing is extreme. Should she have been given more or less time? Clearly give different treatment to some people. The law is supposed to be impartial. And in a case that is already political suppression of first amendment rights, it stands out.

Fighting against the state is like skipping boulders on water. You're gonna need a massive amount of momentum behind it to get it to work.
