NO, I think the manager knew all to well what was going to happen and had the smarts to stop it before it could get started.

Has anyone else come in contact with the "new breed" of state patrol?
Black suited, Gestapo style.
I was stopped at a "checkpoint" where "my papers" where scrutinized for 30 minutes, I was questioned about the contents of my coolers (camping and picnic supplies - no alcohol), who I was with, why I was here, ect.. ect...seems that they were having trouble with "some people drinking and smoking pot”. The leader of the crew was straight out of a nazi war movie. Even his buddies kept their distance from him. He repeatedly tried to "bait" me into arguing and was very abusive in his tone and demeanor. Eye contact with some of the other officers indicated their fear of and distaste for the actions of this guy but they were clearly scared of him. I have never seen the all black uniform before, is this a new trend?
