Ahh the police. got to love them. you can’t fight the system. that battle was lost long ago. you’ve just got to find your place in it and try and keep your mind as free as possible.
I think overall the police do a great job policing dissorder in general. there are a lot of bad people that need challanged in society.
I’m sure lots of police don’t even want to come and break up parties. it’s in their contract though, along with some other undesirable things.
Probably when they are there they are genuinely scared for their safety. maybe they cope with their fear by being aggressive, its a natural human defense. taking the psychological advantage.
problem looks to me like they are coming into a usually happy atmosphere charged up and ready to deal with anything. peace and love in a head on collision with fear, hostility and aggresion. thats not a good mix.
In their eyes, and from their daily experiance, people who are ‘high’ behave unpredictably and are capable of violence. They have seen it all. a career of dealing with the dregs of humanity. especially the city cops. Try and give them a hug and they won’t let you near. Maybe last month some reprobate tried to stick them with a needle, so now that cop decides no one gets the chance any more. Get too close you ‘ll get smashed.
How can you be a cop and not be affected by what you see. its going to form your views about people who take drugs. Seeing the effects of drug addiction on crime and on child neglect and abuse on a daily basis.
to some of them the party scene is where some of the criminals, who’s crimes they chase during the week, go for a good time. and that is partly true.
perspective is hard to appreciate if it is not your own. you’ve got to respect the world as others see it even if they are ignorant.
hug a copper!!!
show them some love!!!
you might just change a small part of the world.
by the way i love the forum
