I Fought the Law

Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

A Night to Remember

Up +31 Down

I live in Canada in a province where the legal drinking age is 18. The year after high school my friend threw a party and the majority of people there were over 18, including me. It was in a nice area of the city, the type that has lazy police officers always cruising around that don't want to do actual work. I guess one of the neighbours must have called the cops because five police cars showed up. A group of my friends and I got out and decided out at the local 7-11 until everything died down, considering we were all supposed to stay there for the night. Suddenly we see somebody run around the corner being chased by two cops yelling "I KNOW MY RIGHTS". It was my friend Julia, who a second later was literally tackled to the ground by one of the cops, handcuffed, and dragged away. The next day I also found out that while trying to walk home another friend of mine was approached by the cops who asked to look inside his bag. He said "No" because they didn't have a reason to, so they tackled him to the ground, broke his hand trying to put him in handcuffs, and tazed him while he was on the ground in handcuffs. Also, several other people were arrested. Glad I got away when I could.
