one of the things that struck me as really incendiary and something that really indicates the cop was looking to start trouble was when he aggressively grabbed at the kid's guitar.

i don't know about you guys but if i was trying to talk to a cop and find out what the hell was going on and he just grabbed at my guitar, i'd more likely than not take a swing at him.

But cops are getting more and more power hungry each year. Like at local shows, fights can break out but people always break it up within seconds, if cops were present and a fight broke out, it would probably still only last a few seconds, but there would be a helluva lot more injured people. We wouldn't hesitate to tackle a cop or two if they're beatin on a kid over nothing.

I think the problem is parents that hear about local shows from the news/interent/family and panic, so they decide to complain during township meetings so "something" can be done.
