Hell, how must it feel to be in a new town for a few days and already be locked up?

At some SEC schools I would reply "feels like home".
Waiting for the A&M visitors locker room comparisons to a drunk tank...

Reminds me when I almost got arrested in San Diego by a detective who said I was resisting. He made a comment like I don't know where you are from, but people in San Diego get killed for things like that. I replied something along the lines of, you think people in San Diego are tougher than someone in Alabama, you're an idiot. We had a pretty lengthy discussions and eventually he stated I had road rage and I replied something along the lines of you can barely write me a ticket your hands are shaking...who's got anger issues? He was seriously gonna arrest me for resisting arrest, I talked my way outta it somehow.
All this started because he was riding my ass and my dumbass @ 21 years of age decided to brake check an unmarked car with two detectives in it. I got his ticket thrown out because this detective sent me to the wrong courtroom, should have went to traffic court and he sent me to another one.
Needless to say, cops can escalate things further than some are willing to take things. They have the ultimate trump card and there are some folks who don't care for power trips, regardless of their credentials.

I bet it cleared the crowd pretty quick/got his hands behind his back. And if I was a football/track star, I'd rather get sprayed than get hit with an ASP baton, which is normally a TPD officer's weapon of choice.
Force continuum. Pepper spray means you don't have to beat someone's ass or injure them because they are dumb and can't follow easy and repeated instructions.
Some people have a problem with any type of authority, especially law enforcement, so here's a lesson. We hate noise complaints and the other political calls we have to respond to. But if we don't respond and handle them properly (make the noise stop), people who make a lot more money than you or us get pissed. So when you see us respond to that type of call, it's not because we were sitting around waiting for that adrenaline pumping noise complaint. No, we don't want to be there as much as you don't want us to be there, so we are just as pissed about the situation. So when you are told to do something (even if you think the constitution that you read once in 9th grade history because you had to gives you the right to do whatever you feel like doing without consequence) and you don't do it, something you don't want to happen is probably going to happen. Shocking, I know.
