Bisides the usual getting rousted by cops whle parking with girlfriends, several incidents in college...

Walking back to my car a block away from a July 4 riot when the bars closed at Indian Lake in Ohio. Aux. Deputy jumps out of the bushes and point a 12 guage double barrell at my head and yells "FREEZE." I did. After a short chat, he let me go back to my car.

Shooting film for a Columbus TV station at an Anti-war protest at Ohio University (I worked for the station in the summer), local cop comes up and raises his baton as if to hit me. I panned the camera to his shield (number). He turned around and left.

Same thing happened at the great snowball riot of 1968. Those APD cops just didn't like cameras, I guess.

Pretty drunk on St. Patty's day weekend and had just taken my date home (Freshman year). Rioting going on at main intersection in town, and another guy and I figured that if we could just skirt the riot and get to a fast food place (The BBF) and have some fries, we would be OK. (Well, I said I was pretty wasted, didn't I?) We made it to the BBF and met up with a couple of pals who were down visiting from Ohio State. The riot started to spread toward the restaurant and the kids inside started chanting, "Cops Eat Isht." I was just sitting there clapping my hands, not saying anything, (really, it's true) and this rent-a-cop came up and threw my friends and me out -- giving a little shove with his rent-a-baton as I walked down the steps. Moments later, we found one of my roommates passed out on the West Green after chugging a pint of Kesslers.
