Ithaca festival. Cops started harassing a young black man for walking his sweet pit bull through the Commons. They weren't harassing the dozens of white people with their labs and cocker spaniels and poodles. I intervened. So did some crazy middle aged ladies who were screaming at him that he was practicing animal cruelty because his dog's collar was a chain. They called the ASPCA. I told him to get out of there since the police weren't detaining him.
Nighttime on Bourbon street. Cops start harassing a young black man and an old black man because they're sitting on a stoop. I stand there and watch them violate the Constitution. Eventually they let the guys go. Hopefully they cleaned up their act a little because I was standing there blatantly watching them.
The weird thing about the first case that I have learned since you first told me about it is that NYS law actually gives some law enforcement powers to the SCPA! And here I just thought they were, well, a society. For the prevention of cruelty to animals.
And the second case… well, that just reminds me of Miles getting arrested for watching Nola police harass a guy. From across the street. Stupid NOPD. It's like they're competing with MPD and NYPD for who can needlessly harass the most members of ethnic and economic minorities. I think NYPD wins for 2000 with the wedding-shooting.
Also, I totally need to fly a burrito at Juan's while I'm down there next week. Do not let me forget!
