once you can create an elixir or flask, you will receive a profession perk as an alchemist called mixology. the whole point of writing online is to create high quality, and well research articles that will provide the reader with all of the information that they want or need from the topic. finally, i slid my net under the salmon and proudly walked to shore.

If it was just one BBQ, then the “crackdown” would be heavy handed. But, in general, it is SO MUCH more than one BBQ at Dolores Park, and you all know it. On this particular day, seems Pork Man was the only one there, and that’s why he got the attention. On a sunny day, he would have been down the list. Probably.

Hahahahaha. Chunky, talk about a straw fucking man (oh god, I used the f-word).

Seriously.

BBQ > Crack dealing?

Because that’s what I’m seeing. Instead of dealing with real issues like the cesspool that is 16th and Mission, the cops are getting calls from you NIMBY motherfuckers about people using public space. That’s why the park’s there. It’s not there to be a garbage dump. It’s not there in a capacity for logging. It’s there for people (yes, even you, Chunky) to go use in a reasonable manner. BBQing is reasonable. I invite your next ridiculous hypo where you try to show otherwise.

The cop wasn’t following orders. That’s what made him a reasonable dude.

Serg-

you, your foul mouth, OG Bay Raps, and your BBQ can come kickit in Jackson Square Park (Potrero Hill) any weekend you want.

we celebrate that type of conduct over here. and the hipsters tend to magnetize towards BOTH and Thee Parkside, generally staying out of the way of us old fogies.

That’s some mighty fine pretzel logic there, equating barbecuing in a public park with cutting down all the trees.
Rational people aren’t going to agree with you, though.

You’re right. If, for example, the public wants to cut down all the trees in a public space, or the public wants to turn a park into a garbage dump, or an open unregulated pharmacy, the public should never feel entitled to that sort of use of public space.

Stewardship of a shared resource can be a community-based process. But, when that fails and asshats start to bully their way, well, the State comes in to fill the gap. Common courtesy and empathy can help to avoid that unfortunate series of events.

The giant sense of hipster entitlement of this post is awesome.

So cops should never follow orders? This isn’t Deutchland ’38-style Gestapo-cop action, and it is pretty lame of you to invoke Nuremberg here. This is a cop dealing with a guy blasting gangsta rap out of his truck and cooking out in the sidewalk by the park, neighbors-be-damned. The cop took the least-onerous option of the choices he had.

when did I actually say anything bad about this particular cop?

I moved my setup to another park, I know better than to be a dick to cops. I think it’s ridiculously stupid that we now have cops citing people for fucking bbqs and considering I’ve done this before and they never said anything to me, it’s not like they haven’t noticed it but because people want to cry about hipsters now cops being told to cite people as opposed to doing the most obvious thing like improving the facilities for how the public is using the park.

the park needs more trashcans and bathrooms, less cops wasting time with this shit
