I think it is useful to remember interactions with SBPD

I was at an off campus St Patrick's day party in 1994 which was surrounded by SBPD with dogs. I was 20 years old and blew a positive breathalyzer. I had to do community service before my record was expunged. Luckily, Student Affairs didn't feel like giving me any extra grief and nothing more came of the incident.

I also saw the videos of the young student a few years ago getting yanked around by the officer on the horse.

It feels really crappy to be muscled around by a malevolent force.

For ND students such as myself, the overall consequences were minimal. For other groups, the malevolence feels a lot more pervasive and the consequences can be much more grave.
