Violence-prone State Sen. Kevin Parker wants the star treatment.
A lawyer for the senator, who was arrested last night for attacking a Post photographer, complained that television star Kiefer Sutherland got softer handling after he allegedly head-butted a fashion designer Monday.
“Kiefer Sutherland broke someone’s nose and got a desk appearance ticket,” said lawyer Lonnie Hart. “He was able to surrender himself and walk out a few hours later.”
Parker – who was charged with a felony, while Sutherland was charged with a misdemeanor — spent the night in jail after he allegedly chased Post photographer Willy Lopez around the block then crawled into Lopez’s car in an attempt to wrest the camera away.

Parker managed to kick the door panel off Lopez’s Suburu and broke his $400 flash into pieces before he calmed down, said Lopez.
Lopez had taken a picture of Parker to accompany an exclusive Post story about foreclosure proceedings on one of Parker’s properties.
“No one wants to be under arrest when he could have had a desk appearance ticket,” Lott complained to reporters while awaiting Parker’s arraignment Saturday at Brooklyn Criminal Court.
Sutherland allegedly attacked designer Jack McCullough during an after party for the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute gala.
The designer reportedly bumped into actress Brooke Shields while she and Sutherland were chatting – and Sutherland apparently went after him.
The blond “24” star turned himself in on Thursday to face third-degree assault charges. He was released on a desk-appearance ticket.
Parker was forced to take anger management classes after he punched a traffic agent who attempted to ticket him for double parking in the head four years ago.
A former aide also accused him of manhandling her and crushing her glasses under foot during a heated argument last year. She pressed charges but no arrest was made.
When asked if his rage should prevent Parker from holding public office any longer, Hart said: “The facts are what they are. People can draw their own conclusions.”
