Memories of RPI today stirred up memories of my many unpleasant run ins with the police during those years.
November 2001, Groton, CT. I take a wrong turn trying to enter the Naval Base very early in the morning. I'm greeted by 4 US Marines' M-16s.

July 1997. Willimantic, CT. I'm unlawfully detained by a police officer and interrogated in isolation for >3 hours. *For riding my bike.*
-
Two times unlawfully detained. Three times weapons drawn on me. For doing *nothing wrong*. My one charge got expunged.
-
So forgive me if I, someone who can't legally piss in two states, have been a little irrationally edgy with LEOs suggest poll watching.

The cops in Upstate NY were notoriously corrupt, eventually a decades long FBI investigation happened and a bunch got fired/arrested.

But now, win or lose, Trump has the police's support and whatever happens next month, I'm scared shitless.
-
A campaign run without a shred of dignity or grace sure as shit isn't going to find any in defeat.
