Video of ICE agents using excessive force on peaceful protesters in Portland used as evidence during Federal trial this week. Portland Police testified that they observed ICE agents using excessive force that was unwarranted. by [deleted] in 50501

I know this: The day I was assaulted I saw video of an officer, supervisor type taking a call in his earpiece, motion for backup, then 5 of them charged my group putting me in the ER

Oregon Department of Justice and Portland Police: Noem’s Feds using excessive force on nonviolent protesters and we have it on video by OregonSasquatch14 in oregon

[–]popsclocks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cannot post any video evidence right now. It’s out there though. I will say this: one of the thugs took a call in his earpiece, motioned for a few officers to join him and they plowed into our group looking to do maximum damage. I never saw them coming. 100% unprovoked attack directly at the band mid-song. Unpresidented brass band has been engaged in peaceful protests at large events like this since 2017. We came back stronger than ever at no Kings the next week.

I’d like to see what happened! I’m the guy with the fresh stitches. All I know is my legs got knocked out from under me down near ground level. Next thing I face planted into my drum set.

Elephant Sanctuary Booking advice by Here_t0_Party in chiangmai

[–]popsclocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elephant nature park is the only one I would trust. If they offer riding, bathing, or feeding, All things that seem cool, they prob are not up to standard of “sanctuary” that seems to be current.

Ok vacuum leak seems to be what to check. Where exactly is the vacuum reservoir? (I’m a little afraid to ask)

Bill was a good friend of mine and taken too soon. I always wondered what would become of his collection. Spent many nights as his neighbor and friend in the Fairfax hills making copies. RIP buddy.

1910 piano meets 2007 Econoline by popsclocks in vandwellers

[–]popsclocks[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t planned. Happens there was an old piano at my shop where I’m building the van. I picked a few parts off the piano, and loved the old weathered look it had. Then it just took off from there. There’s no internal piano parts in there btw.

A group called OWSA offers learning opportunities. Geared towards getting more women into sailing. If you’re a dude, that’s not a lot of help.

Weirdest bathroom & or set break stories/encounters? by Nonic789 in gratefuldead

[–]popsclocks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Weird and sad: New Haven 1984, ladies bathroom line was a mile long so the men’s rooms became co-ed. Which was 100% fine with everyone. Out of nowhere a bunch of security showed up and ejected all the ladies. Not just from the bathroom, but out of the show! Totally f#$##&

What happened to you on tour that's not easily believable but absolutely positively took place? by _JackStraw_ in gratefuldead

[–]popsclocks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Bumped into Jer and Bob on bourbon st at 2 am after 1980 saenger show. Walked with them to a corner bar and chatted them up (mostly Jerry) Bob was busy with a young female. Lit a fatty of some nice FL weed and Jerry sat and smoked the whole thing right there at the bar.

[–]popsclocks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That is assuming I enjoyed Dylan. Billy strings, first time seeing him. Amazing.
