me and my girlfriend were arrested yesterday by the NYPD on the Brooklyn Bridge march. (so glad to have a girlfriend that I can get arrested with for political reasons!)
I was surprised by how many blueshirt cops seemingly support us. they were very nice to us in processing and in our holding cells, and several even expressed their solidarity with the cause.
being in jail for 12 hours was boring -- I don't think I've legitimately felt "bored" since I was a kid -- but it's a price I'm glad to pay if it means more exposure and momentum for the movement.
