cops are touchy this year at Mardi Gras....
Weve seen a guy get taken to jail for petting a horse.
Weve seen a guy get pulled out of his car, and 5 cops jump on him.
In both of these situations, there was no reason for the cops to do what they did. Both guys had their girlfriends with them, who seem to be in shock. Everybody who was watching both situations, constantly asking why are you gusy doing that??? he didnt do anything.
It is pretty common to see people pet the horses. I see alot of girls that do it, and the cops dont seem to mind.
I had a cop come up behind me and push me. I didnt know it was a cop, he just come up behind me and started shoving me. Well, its not uncommon to get pushed around and bumped by people, walking down bourbon. However, this guy didnt identify himself. All I know is i got someone behind me shoving me. I pushed back with my back turned... and then he gave me a good shove out of the way, nearly knocking me down.
Some of the cops down here seem very bitter towards the revelers this year. It may be becuase they have hired extra cops from around the country to come down and police mardi gras this year, and those guys are probably itching to take people to jail. I dont know, but we've seen ALOT of questionable behavior from the police this year.
Kiwi said shes been pushed by cops 4 times since shes been here. One of them knocked her down in a pile of bourbon street trash gumbo, and didnt bother helping her up.
I had a cop call me an asshole out of the blue. I asked him why he just called me an asshole. He said, "becuase you look like one."
Im not saying they are all assholes here...
Weve got cops staying all around us in our hotel, and it doesnt smell like cigerettes they are smoking.
