Fighting the good fight
Hey all,
So we went out again last night, Sunday November 16. It was chilly but the 5 of us braved the weather and rode our bikes around North Bed Stuy anyway. Since there were only 5 of us, and we have a rule of going out in groups of 3 or larger, we stayed together as one big crew.
The pigs were in fine form. We came across two of them(squad car #1672), handcuffing a middle aged man, who was pushing what appeared to be an empty home depot cart on marcy, north of Myrtle Ave at 10:17pm. When we rolled up, one cop asked “Can i help you” and we merely responded “no, we’re just observing”. He very quickly made a call for reinforcements, and within minutes an unmarked Chevy Impala(license plate DTS 8490)with 3 pigs pulled up. They were harassing the man for a while, and then a discussion ensued on how to bring the large orange cart into evidence. One pig suggested taking a picture of it, but this was quickly dismissed by his superiors. In the end, the man was released and told to just leave the cart on the sidewalk, because they couldn’t figure out how to bring the cart back to the precinct. Unfortunately, police idiocy will not keep everyone from getting locked up…
