two in whatever precinct soho is were really nice to me when they caught me a couple stories up on a building wheatpasting some pieces. they liked my work and let me go. i couldn't believe it.
but the scores of others i've had run-ins with haven't even been open to speaking to me in a civil fashion. they were more fans of rehearsed monologues than engaging in rational dialogue. it's hard to try to deal with someone as a human when they view themselves as simply a uniform or a badge.
