Creeper on campus during the school day. Police got involved. He mad.

The cops might have been part of the police academy.

They might not have been aware of the terrorist threat at the school.

Maybe the cops were the terrorists and you complied with their plot to clear the track. Way to go.

Here on Long Island, many schools have recently prohibited anyone, outside of students, to be on the track (or any of the fields) during school hours. I only am there on the weekend, but I fear that liberty will be taken away soon too.

I have also noticed that all middle school kids and up are now required to display school issued photo IDs while in school.

Sucks.

You sat on it?

you got me

So you slept in and are upset that the law enforcement officer tried to enforce the law. Got it.

Pretty sure I said I understood why I was kicked off the track and never said I was upset. Good try though

Do you understand that 1000 meters is 1000 meters regardless of which lane you run it in?

You should have titled this "Training Whilst Being White Male". (Yes, I'm assuming.)

Verdict: fail.

are you serious?

sounds like while the other 25 police offers were doing a terroristific job, the lady that stopped you was a bit paranoidical.

Police have a tough job, and are therefore allowed to do whatever they want.

Policing is a physically and mentally strenuous job, performed by people who are often:

- of below average intelligence. (Minimum standards here do not impress. Smart people elect better paying, higher status, more intellectually interesting alternatives. )

- thirsty for authority (i.e. in it for the wrong reasons).

This concoction leads to a lot of unfortunate altercations.

I also suspect that female officers especially tend to fear slights to their position of authority, leading them to act more aggressively in asserting it.

Here the officer had the right to kick you off the track and didn't, but it nevertheless seems that she could have used her discretion more wisely.

what was your time? If you didn't run under 6min imma be so mad.

It's time for all of use to buy a measuring wheel and measure along quiet roads and bike paths. The days of running on a track are over folks.
