Slog - Comments on Call 911! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/call_911 Yesterday at 1:54 pm a shocking transgression came across the Central District police scanner, a transgression that stood out from the run-of-the-mill deliberate hitting of construction workers with cars, aggressive behavior of Ezell's employees, domestic violence, and burglary. It was———unlicensed art dealing. Caller says that a man is selling art without the proper license on the SE corner of the intersection. white male, 30s, blue jeans. Can you help? Have you seen a white male in his 30s wearing blue jeans suspiciously, suspiciously hawking paintings since then? (Thanks, Brian!)...

Sadly, he'll probably be cited for Obstruction of Justice.

But have you seen the paintings? They may be sooooo lacking in taste and merit that the police are doing us a service.... but I doubt they're that bad

He was nasty and belligerent. I got nasty right back and then something wonderful happened. All the people who were around me buying things just jumped in and told the cop to fuck off. Really. "Why don't you go chase a real criminal you asshole, instead of harassing citizens"

Wait, you need a license to sell your own paintings in this town? This city's government is like the mafia. Everyone has to pay a fee to do business. I just wish they could give us the same "protection" that is offered by the real mob.
