    I hesitated three times before asking. So f- me if I shouldn't.

    Guy screaming outside the club for 90 minutes -- (a) don't you kind of have to call the cops somewhere in there? (did you?); (b) how can it, under the present circumstances of some ill-behaved cops and an ill-behaved ABC, fail to hurt you when you call the cops or if you don't; (c) doesn't point "b" suck and pretty much undermine the utility of having a police force?

      Every time you call the cops, you increase by one the number that you will hear at your next hearing when The Enemy stands up and proclaims that in the last year there have been N "calls for service" to the ten-block radius centered on your address. So you call the police absolutely as little as possible, because every time you do, you know that this statistic will eventually be used against you.

      Great system we have here, isn't it?

    Also, FRI night in SF the cops *should* have more important things to handle. In spite of the actions of the ABC and their local attack roomba, most SFPD officers work hard and are decent enough. The administration or "brass" is a different story.

    Huh, I made some funny salutes and moustache gestures the other day at the Pentagram show... It must've carried over.
