Back when I was 16....in my city every summer there was something called the Italian Festival. City cleared out this big park, put up amusement park rides, food booths, etc. Now it wasn't in the hood but, the hood wasn't that far away, so sometimes that element creeped in. Which scared the rich white folk. I mean shyt....everybody was there, all the cute girls, nikkas would want to come there to show out and bam.....something would pop off. The city eventually stopped doing the annual festival because of the violence but, back then it was still going on.
So I'm there with my 5 homies. We all brought our dates. If I remember correctly we had just gotten off a ride and my girl wanted a funnel cake, so me and my homie wander off to the food booths, which were outside the gates of the park.
Gun shots go off. Boom. Boom. Boom
It's a big ass park. It's 2005. People had cell phones but, it wasn't as big as it is now. For whatever reason, I didn't have mine.
Immediately we want to get back to our friends.
Too late, cops came out QUICKFAST.
QUICKFAST All you see is nikkas running everywhere, and cops on horses swinging nightsticks looking for the people who was shooting. But to them everybody that's black was the shooters
With all this commotion going on, me and my boy starting to get scared about our girls and friends. When we try to go back through the gate, the cops are blocking it
We can't call nobody. We don't know where nobody went. We don't know where they're going. My boy look at me like "yo....just follow me
".....we go way down the street and see a part of the gate that's clear and we hop the fence into the park. Before we could take off to find our friends, I hear this old white witch SQUEAL at the top of her lungs "Here They Are...Here They Are....They're Right There!!!!!!"
When I tell you nigguh that the cops came, the cops came in FULL FORCE....like six fukking police swooped on us
guns drawn
cop grabbed my skull like a baseball and threw me face down into the dirt and handcuffed me. I spent what felt like 20 minutes struggling to stay still as a painting knowing 6 guns was pointed as us. Fukk azz police kept asking me and my boy dumb azz questions, not believing that we was just trying find our friends, while I caught glimpses of the 90 year old white bytch still looking at us like
and clutching her purse like we could still steal it. Eventually they found the boys that were shooting and let us go. No apologies for roughing us up or nothing....just looking at us like
We got off easy I guess. The cops were on horses spraying mace into the air, at the crowds....and this girl I went to church with was no older than 13 and got sprayed by accident. Did cops give a fukk? No
Me and my homie walked to my other homie's parents house hoping everyone was there. And they were. Everybody there was
at all the craziness that went down, clearly not giving a fukk about us like that, while we were nearly two flinches away from being Mike Brown'd for trying to FIND THEM
to the young man for defending himself.
Even the dog in this gif is like 
at that cac.
