I think that part of the problem with cops who don't work in high-crime
areas is that they are bored. In NYC, cops there have much bigger and
more dangerous things to worry about than a few tie-dyed stoners or goths
who listen to love songs, or the like. And maybe there's a tighter bond
also because of the dangerousness of living in the city -- folks depend on
the cops to keep them safe. At least that's what I hope. When I was up
in MA, I called the cops on a heroin-shootin maniac with a gun and was
practically shaken down personally for doing so. My life's been one big
Tracy Chapman song. How's it go?
Last nite I heard the screaming --
loud voices against the wall
another sleepless nite for me
won't do no good to call
the police
always come late
if they come at all...

Same where I'm from. I do like most of the cops I've had to deal with
here in NC, though (not counting the one who threw me in jail for not
having my tags (YES HE SURE DID)). But then again, this area just seems
more civil in general than the other southern states I've lived in. I
guess they're not too bored here. Wonder what they're all doin...

I once saw a girl in Atlanta take a few vials of LSD and pour them into
her hand, then go touch 3 cops telling them, "I love you, brother," while
soaking their arms with LSD. Saw one of them later rip off his clothes
and start dancin. Hmmm...
> Meanwhile, what are the issues being protested again?:)-
The issue that I find the most interesting is almost paradoxical when I
try to examine how I feel about it. We've got trade bans up against
certain countries for moralistic and environmental reasons: they use child
labor, they cut down too many trees to grow beef, they treat their women
like shit. The WTO meetings threaten to open up trade with those
countries again, leaving us powerless to stop such obsenities. While I
agree with boycotts like that, I also disgree with the US policing the
world, and have problems with many of our laws which legislate morality
(or try to) -inside- this country. So I ride the fence and just cheer for
no particular reason other than that I'm happy someone's upset enough
about something to gather and raise a little hell. (:
