    Yeah. Had I not known what it was beforehand and legitimately believed it was a creeper it would have gone a different way, but it was too obvious we all knew we knew. Their tactics were pretty typical. We were in a stretch of town where all the bars were college age targeted so every couple of months they’d spend a night bar hopping trying to find violations, maybe or maybe not knowing that we all let the other bar employees know when we spotted one (not to encourage underage drinking, totally because fuck cops). He probably had more bars to hit on his list.

    I am surprised we didn’t get more harassed by them. They did cuff me and a coworker and rough us up one night when a fight broke out between some drunks and us (their instigation), someone called, and they refused to treat the bros as the problem but insisted on harassing us despite being the employees the witness kept insisting were the victims.

    Gotta say, 20yrs ago I felt I could probably be a dick and reasonably get away with. Definitely get shot for it nowadays.
