So at 9:30 PM last night, and after lying on the couch for 3-4 hours straight I decided it was time to do something. Unfortunately everybody else was gone or getting drunk which didnt sound appealing to me at the time.
I decided to get off my ass and go for a walk. A long walk. A 2 and a half hour long walk. I went all over the town. I saw a few squad cars but didnt think anything of it. Overall I didn't really see anything of particular interest but Im still glad I went on the walk.
I was walking on University Drive on the way back, when a squad car makes a U-turn in front of me and stops in the grass ahead of me... They tell me to put my hands in the air. Knowing I did absolutely nothing wrong I wasnt too worried so i did. They asked for my license and school ID. I gave it to them no problem. As one cop was checking that out the other asked me what I had on me. I pointed to each section and said "CD Player. Gloves. Pen. Batteries. Keys." (my wallet was already out). He still did a frisk because apparantly "Farm King" was burglarized, and the suspect was on foot. So after the frisk we talked a little about where and why i walked, and then just talked about school for a while. Then they gave me back my ID cards and said "Dont worry. This stuff usually never happens, and you should feel safe to walk around here." They were extremely polite and friendly, and treated me like an adult, even though im a punk college student.
Considering I started the walk at 9:30 and didnt get back here until 12, I already do.
Now im sure you will ask "why did you give them your ID?" or other questions and its because I had nothing to hide. Im also going to guess that this thread will turn into an anti-police thread but it wouldnt be ATOT if it didnt.
Cliff Notes: Farm King was burglarized while i was out for a walk. Got stopped and frisked. Cops were friendly and polite and I was too. Overall, it caused it to be an interesting night.
