Maybe I should get a t-shirt that says, "Stop Resisting" or "Stop Rebelling Against Authority." ;) Your last point did remind me that there are times when someone resists and it's the cop who loses. I worry about officer safety downtown -- another reason for Council to get serious about crowd control and enforcement. Safe and fun are not mutually exclusive. Don, good points.

Your last point did remind me that there are times when someone resists and it’s the cop who loses. I worry about officer safety downtown — another reason for Council to get serious about crowd control and enforcement. Safe and fun are not mutually exclusive.

It is extremely rare to hear about a law enforcement officer to out-of-the-blue hit somebody. Yet when you see all these videos about Police Brutality, the victim is generally fighting back. I know law enforcement officers as well, they are well trained and equipped to defend themselves and the public. Anybody who resists needs to understand, they are going to lose every time.

Nothing wrong with burlesque if it appeals to you, but the political fringes, in both directions, make it unnecessarily hard on themselves sometimes. Good for you for keeping your circle of friends wide. I don't blame you for leaving though. Nothing wrong with wanting to stop police brutality.
