As a cop assigned as an Urban Combat Soldier in Brooklyn’s 77 pct, in the late 60’s I loved this. I locked up a few more morons and collected overtime money processing them. It was a win win. I still remember the Penal Code Section: 195.05 Obstructing Governmental Administration.
Got to watch the Newark PD round up a bunch of striking city employees. They surrounded the group with the “tactical Squad” in helmets and carrying riot sticks. It began raining wood and then they got tossed into the Paddy wagons strategically located to haul them off. That was around 1970. I almost got scooped up too but one of the intel detectives “not him, he is one of the good guys”.
77th? Is that around Bed Sty??
