Don't taze me, bro!
I was in Davis last night on the partition between Store 24 and the square. Three cops came and started harassing the dudes drinking out of brown bags. The fat one actually broke the cap on two more bottles of liquor and poured them out on the brick. It fucking stank like whiskey something awful.
Drunk: "My brother's the chief of police!"
Cop: "Not anymore he ain't!"
((ED: That's right, 'ain't'.))
Cop: (pouring bottles) Fucking screw!
So first of all, I think the last time someone was told to 'screw' was in a speakeasy, ninety years ago.
Second, the cop basically admitted that they gave the drunk special treatment during the period in which his brother was actually the chief of police.
Third, why the fuck would they BREAK THE SEAL on large bottles of liquor and pour it all over the square? I guarantee you some poor dog got fucked up.
Lastly, why are Somerville cops such unnecessary assholes? Patience and negotiation should be fucking keystones of officer training, not the exception to the rule.
I wanted his badge number, but I was afraid of winding up on YouTube on the wrong end of a taser.

I wish Central Square were more like Davis -- fewer rowdy drunks and more street musicians playing acoustic guitar.
My classist privilege

good lord no, not if they'd be anything like the guy that plays acoustic guitar in davis! i wouldn't wish for more of him anywhere... he plays the same three songs over and over again. i really never, ever want to hear "sound of silence" again as i'm walking through the square. he needs to learn new songs.
