Great day of racing, sad we missed the end.
Well done Dimi!
If anybody cares about that business with the Police..
Went to Nocturne, having great time.
Sat kid up on a wall behind a fence so she could see the penny-spin.
Went to the toilet and came back Kris was up on the wall too, so I joined them.
One of the warm bodies that they employ to fill out hi viz jackets told me to get down "because there was a fence".
I refused, he got cops.
Cops came and left as I wasn't trespassing or causing a public order offence.
Way later, end-level-boss of the fence guards comes along and says the same thing as his minion.
I refused and he got more cops.
Cops came in force, including one with a special hat who I assume was their chief.
They said to get down and I refused.
They said I would be done for Child Endangerment if I didn't come down.
They said they would pull us down(off the wall and over a fence - endangering my child) if I didn't come down.
So we came down because they couldn't be reasoned with.
A cop pulled one open and one unopened bottle out of Kris's hands and threw them to the floor causing them to smash.
The cop said this was "because he was worried" (Kris) "would use them as weapons".
Essentially they bullied a peaceful family enjoying some cycle racing.
