It's easy to blame the cops, yeah. But I'm sure just about anyone on this board can think of a time a cop did something stupid for no reason at a show.

I can't. The few shows that I've gone to and had the cops step in and do something to someone, there was a reason. I don't know if the reason was right or wrong, but there always is a reason.

This whole situation is messed up. You have the cops saying one thing, and the band/fans saying another. The stories on both sides don't even match up that well. There are a few things I do know...

-One of the members of CT had an outstanding warrent (DUI or something like that).
-The guys in CT got messed up (and it is a shame it happened).
-I have never had a problem with a cop that I did not start because I was doing something wrong.
-Cops sometimes (for whatever reason) do beat up people when they are not at fault. It doesn't happen when you have 3 diffrent groups of cops at once (Staties, Lunenburg, and Leominster).
-There was a good-sized crowd. In that situation, if you are not doing exactly as you are told, you are bound to get in trouble.
-I have met many people that say they did nothing wrong when the cops did something to them. Some were right (but to the cops it didn't look that way) and some were flat-out lying.

I don't know what happened, I wasn't there. I, however, will bet that the police are not at total fault here. Thats not to say they didn't over-react, but I'm sure that CT was not as innocent as they say.

Good luck either way.
