Faceless Twit
Being run off from the place I have decided to sleep is a reality of the life I live that must be accepted. All I ask is to simply be treated with some basic respect all people would and should expect.
Here is a rundown of my Saturday night from about 11:30pm until 3:00am.
I showed up at my sleeping spot and started to roll out my bedroll. While doing so a Portland Patrol officer rode by and we made eye contact. After reading for about 30 minutes I was slipping into my sleeping bag when the same Portland Patrol officer rolled by and again made eye contact with me. At this point it is about 12:00am and I figure there is no trouble with me sleeping in this spot. WRONG! At 2:30am the same Portland Patrol officer wakes me to inform me I can not sleep there. How do I know it is the same officer? He admits so when I ask and then does not want to make eye contact with me. What a bastard.
To make matters worse this pinhead is wearing a full face ski mask. All he needed was riot gear for a more intimidating look. First off I’m disoriented because I am waking up and to top it off I have to deal with some faceless jerk. If it was winter and the temperature was cold I would understand but that was not the case. It was in the 60s that night damnit! Even it the weather was cold he could have removed the ski mask prior to dealing with me.
I know I have bitched and moaned about Portland Patrol on occasion before and it may seem as though I hate them all but that is far from the truth. Just this morning I was awaken by one of my favorite Portland Patrol officers who will remain nameless. This officer has always treated me with nothing but respect. Many times in the past he has stopped just to shoot the bull for no reason what-so-ever. To him and those like him I tip my hat.
I guess that is enough of my complaining for now.
Sincerely,
