This guy we were with earlier
Was buying me drinks
And laughing at my jokes
But now
He was in handcuffs
On the side of the street
With a bag over his head
They pepper sprayed him
Apparently he got a little too drunk
And tried to piss in the kitchen at the dive bar
The bouncer caught him with his cock in his hand
Then he tried to fight the bouncer
The cops came
And he tried to fight them too
That's what led to the pepper spraying
He was a nice guy
Earlier in the night
I commented on his crocs
They had Pokémonpins on them
I told him they were cool
I had walked outside the bar
To see if this blonde was out there
And saw all the flashing red and blue lights
About 8 cop cars
10 cops
And a man with a bag over his head
And his hands behind his back
The white crocs with Pokémon Pins on them Sat on sidewalk next to him
It took a second for me to register that the nice guy was the one under the bag
I ran into the bar to get my friends
They very slowly and casually stumbled out there
I talked to the cops
Heard their story
I talked to the bouncer
Pieced together everything
Told my friends
And we all watched him get loaded into an ambulance
He was strapped to a gurney
Bag still over his head
My friends went back into the bar
And kept drinking
Like nothing happened
They shrugged and said he had too many whiskey sours
But I was sick to my stomach
I had to go home
I felt like he easily could’ve been me . . .
. . .
I made a mental note to never try to fight the bouncer.
