In 1968 I was maced, tear gassed, thrown on the ground, searched by the police...the only crime I committed was being young...I had no part in the demonstrations.....I was not very happy. I did not perceive it as a conspiracy or trend towards a "Cold Wind" Any one that thinks the NYPD is an extension of the Republican party has been inhaling something besides Rodinal. In "68" I actually had a few acquaintances that were cops....generally older brothers of friends...We would shoot pool, get drunk and occasionally smoke dope together. I have no reason to think 95% of the other cops were any different...ordinary guys drawing a paycheck. I remember giving one of the cops an Italian "shrug" meaning "what the #@ck " is going on? He answered "Jon...you never know how you will react when you get hit in the face with a bag of shit laced with razor blades"
