It was only after the cops walked through the middle of the event Pushed several people to the ground and threatened to pepper spray people that they got less than playful.

I have listened to this podcast often, and have heard Paul as a guest on other pods. I enjoy his conversations, perspective as a veteran, and his candor. Give him a listen.
