The Eyes Of A Spectator

So here we are, me and my group of friends walking around at night. It's a good amount of people. I'll name anyone who I can remember. Jenna, Phil, Anthony, Stephen, Zach, Nick, Kyle, and I. I'm not sure if there were more people, but I'll explain the really amazing story that unfolded.

We were walking down the road, and it was very cold, so I wanted to see if the lake at the local park was frozen. So we go to the gate and the park is closed. We pretty much already knew it was going to be closed, so we ended up climbing over the fence. The park closes whenever the sun goes down, and that really sucks in winter. Anyway, so we climb over and I head over to the lake with 2 or 3 of my friends, to check to see if it were frozen. We go and it turns out it wasn't. So while we look back, we see that my friends are still going over the fence. After we meet half way, a police car goes strolling by, and we realize we're fucked.

My one friend comes up with the brilliant idea of climbing out the other way, and I simple told him, "Do you really want to walk AWAY from the cops?". And we promptly started walking towards the cop.

He shone his light on us, and that's when my other friend Zach flipped out, and started running as fast as he can. In some miraculous way, the cop did not notice which was amazing.

So we're all climbing the fence, and Anthony who usually has trouble climbing a fence, went over in like 5 seconds. His reason was that if there's a cop present, he'll do anything in order to not get arrested. That's good I guess.

So we're all over, and the cop comes out of the car and walks towards us. He asks us for ID, and by now we realize that Zach didn't have any ID on him. That's why he ran away as fast as he did. My friend Anthony also, never ever carries his ID around with him anywhere. It turns out, he lost his ID 3 months ago, and this VERY morning, Nick had given it to him. How much luck is that.

Then we turn back at the gate and we see Phil struggling to climb under the gate. Phil is a pretty big guy and I don't want to be offensive, but not that strong either. So he gets stuck under the gate, and the cop turns to him and starts chuckling and asks if he should call the paramedics.

Everyone started laughing, and me and someone else helped him through.

After that everyone gave the cop ID's and the cop went into the car. We were all pretty much freaking out. He had said that if we didn't have ID, he would have to drop us off at our houses. None of our parents would want that.

So as the story continues, he comes back out, and There arrive 4 more cops. Now we all get really scared.

So here we are surrounded by 5 cops, just staring at us. This one cop just looks at me as I make the comment "Wow, 5 cops, really? I feel so intimidated, is that really necessary?"

He just continues glaring at us. Then the initial cop turns to the other cops and starts ripping on Phil, saying "Guys check it out, this guy can't even climb up over a fence." Laughter ensues, and Phil must be humiliated. After that, the other cops join in on ripping Phil a new one. They start talking about how he should go to the gym, and do more exercise, and why he can't do it.

It was sad, but it was all very very funny. After that, the cop gives back all of our ID's and makes us swear that we won't trespass in the park again.

And that's the story, it's true, and there are witnesses to prove it.
