#4  "...will not be tolerated". BS, it's an annual event. You tolerate it. Must say, very disappointed. Back in 70s Santa Rosa we had Hewlett-Packard Hill, n the cops would clock us and issue tickets accordingly. But that was our gig n we didn't issue invites. Any parent who brought their child to participate in that should get a CPS visit.

#2  SWAT shows up to arrest of under age skateboarders... like how cops kill Golden Retrievers in front of their owners. FTP cops look for the easy marks.

#1  Seems like some lengths of chain rigged properly might have done the needed jobs without nearly as many SWAT officers.
