PIG-O-SCOPE

At approximately 4 am Wed. morning, me and four brothers were out for a walk on Huron St. when the Pigs pulled up. We figured it was just an I.D. check so we didn't worry so much because there was five of us and only two of them. The pigs checked I.D.s, took down names and addresses and we continued on our way without much hassle. We made it as far as the diag where we were vamped on by six pigs in three cars. They came from E.U. through the arch, from S.U., and from State St. and surrounded us; when they stopped they jumped out of the cars, grabbed Allen Bryon, threw him up against the car and informed him that they had a warrant for his arrest (which they wouldn't show me) informed him of his rights and began to search him. They ordered the rest of us to be on our way, when I refused to do this I was threatened with arrest for "violation of probation." When I objected saying that my constitutional rights were being violated, I was told once again that if I didn't leave I would be arrested; being the peace-loving person I am, I asked them where he would be taken and when he would be arraigned. I was told he would be taken to Washtenaw County Pigsty and he would be arraigned at 9:00 am.

So after being up all night, I went to court bright and early so that I could bail him out as soon as possible. I sat in court until 1:00 pm when the judge adjourned for lunch, without any results. By this time I was pretty bummed out so I decided to talk to Judge Elden and find out what was happening. The judge was kind enough to take down Al's name and he told me that after lunch he would call the jail and find out what the story was. I returned to the court room at 2:00 pm and sat until approximately 3:30 pm when the bailiff was sent to me with a note to me saying that there was no Allen Bryson in Harvey's Hotel and instructing me to accompany the bailiff to the Detective Bureau, where I was greeted warmly by the pigs who patrol S.U. With the aid of the bailiff I checked through the records of all the arrests of the previous night and discovered that Al had been turned over to the Wayne County pigs. I don't know exactly what the deal is, but it seems that Wayne County had a warrant for his arrest for "failure to appear in court on a charge of tampering with a motor vehicle." If the pigs did have this warrant why did they find it necessary to completely surround us in, of all places, the diag. Sounds pretty strange. I think I smell a PIG! RIGHT ON!!! ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!
