I ain't no Randy Wagstaff

I have a interesting relationship with the police. I've called the police a few times when I saw a crime that needed stopping. But other times, I find myself siding with the criminals. Take tonight for example.

Right near where I am staying there is a little plaza. I walk through it every afternoon on my way home from work, and there are always the same 6-8 kids skateboarding in plaza. Just hanging out and skateboarding reminding me of the sweet nose manuals I used to pull off in Tony Hawk.


Tonight I left to go up the street to grab some takeout Indian Food (because I'm bored at work and look forward to spending time in the bathroom playing games on my phone). On the way I passed a bunch of kids throwing their skateboards in the bushes in between the two buildings near the plaza. When I got to the plaza I figured out why. A cop had caught one of them and was patting him down as I walked past.

A few minutes later as I was walking back down the street towards the plaza 3 or 4 police cars came out of nowhere with their sirens blaring and a bunch of people were pointing and telling the cops that the kid had just took off on foot.

I walked back to the hideout where the rest of the skateboarders where hanging out and asked him what their friend did. They said they were just busted for skateboarding. I think busting kids for skateboarding is bullshit. And if other people are going to help the cops arrest someone for riding a skateboard, I'm going to help the skateboarders achieve freedom. Just like William Wallace.

So I tipped them off there there were a whole bunch of cops in the plaza and that there friend ran off. In return they called me "one cool-ass dude". Which is the best compliment I've received since a black lady complimented me on my fashion.

On second thought, I really should have titled this post "I ain't no Wash Hogwallop"

Oh well, there's always next post about aiding and abetting.
