What is this title (the man who couldn’t stand up) referencing to?

Apart from the disparity in the way that the rich and everyone else are treated for crimes of varying natures (arrest for sleeping on a park bench and fines for aiding and abetting a murderous drug cartel), the handling of identical crimes among the rich and everyone else varies greatly. While the non-rich may be arrested numerous times for a crime, the rich are never even arrested once. Prostitution, for example, is cracked down on in poor areas, Taibbi explains that numerous arrests for prostitution could be made in wealthier areas if the police patrolled nightclubs. Furthermore, it is hoped that numerous arrests, rather than outright convictions, will reform criminals - but if criminals are not arrested, there can be no attempt at reform. Likewise, Taibbi explains, multiple arrests of an individual will probably do more to anger the individual, rather than encourage reform.

Indeed, many of these arrests come from simple and unusual causes, such as "drinking from an open container" or riding a bicycle on the sidewalk. But rather than attempt to fight these reasons for arrests, most people take the easy way out, and do plea-deals. But while pleas make things easier for the police and the arrested individual in terms of not having to go to court, the arrested individual usually has much to suffer from taking a plea, such as loss of financial aid for school, welfare, and even beds at homeless shelters. Far from being reformatory, continual arrests can be a serious hindrance, such as with one man who was arrested sixty times before turning nineteen. Likewise, most of those incarcerated for misdemeanor crimes are put in jail because they can't afford bail, and so their records are permanently marred for misdemeanor crimes with prison stays.
