Early reports coming out of Summercamp indicate there is heavy profiling and police harassment taking place. People are getting pulled over without probable cause from Henry to Peoria. Estimates indicate two ambulances and 10 arrests, and we’re only a couple hours into the Friday bands.
More on this after I get back. I’m going out there to get drunk and enjoy some damn good music. The Man ain’t gonna get me down, not this weekend. Plus, I have a poncho now!!
Update: Early reports seem to have been grossly exaggerated. Police presence was extremely minimal throughout the weekend, probably because it wasn’t needed. I’ve never experienced 10,000 people all being happy at the same time. More to come later.
