anyone remember that NWA song?....er what was it??something about doing something to the police...i cant remember it but it kind of sums up my feelings about our friends in the police "service" if u know whati mean?
I thought JLive was better organised than ever this year....it was "spaced out" better in terms of food and drink and the stage was easier to see, the acts were easy to hear. I'm sure 8,000 others would agree. It was just about perfect apart from one group of loud, rude troublemakers who tried to ruin everyones day. Yes it was the police: not just the Jersey States Police, mainly their friends from over the water, who had come over at great cost to show their Jersey counter parts how to really piss people off when they are not causing any trouble at all and having a good time.
This mainly involved pulling people out of the crowd who may, or (more often may not), have been attempting to roll cigarettes containing tiny traces of marijuana. These "troublemakers" were then thrown out or, if the police had made a mistake, (more often than not), left to roll their cigarettesconatining tobacco!!!!
The instance I remember most involved the Q for the Dance tent. I had not seen any trouble going in and out of the tent; it was actually pretty easy. Then about 8.30 ish our friends in "The Police" decided to "get involved" if you know what I mean. They stopped people going in for a good 20 minutes. At the same time we could all see people leaving the exits. Now as there was an act playing who was quite popular, the Q suddenly became a lot bigger, and with no people being allowed to enter, it became a mini-crush, just like happens at football stadiums, hence the shouts of "Hillsborough". The police however decided they had to do something during the day. I mean they must have been pretty bored considering there was no trouble anywhere. So I suppose they had to creat some for themselves, and they succeeded in annoying a few hundred people in half an hours work. Well done boys (and girls)!! Good to see your earning all that taxpayers money!!
So my answer isplay that NWA album with that song about the police: and play it LOUD so the whole island can hear it cos I'm sure they will sing along to every word!!
