got maced by the police after an Iron Maiden show
it was post show and me and my mate decided we hadnt had enough to drink so went to a near by bar (which was and still is an absolute shit hole). I had stumbled into the toilet and was on my way out, reaching for the door handle when BOOM! a cop kicked in the door and gave me a face full of liquid mace. I cannot describe the pain, initially i thought he'd thrown acid in my face. Anyway, him and his burley mates had me on the ground in cuffs and i could hear them yelling and kicking in the toilet cubicle doors and generally making a huge ruckus. I have NO idea what is going on but am more concerned with the fact that my face is burning off and gallons of snot, puke and tears are coming out of every oriface in my head.
Im hauled off to a waiting paddy wagon where they leave me for 5 or so minutes until a paramedic comes in and starts washing my eyes out with some sort of solution. it takes about half an hour of continuous flow for me to be just able to squint and see whats happening around me. Theres cops and cop cars everywhere. All the punters from the bar have been brought outside and mill around on the street. Theres even some knob with his digital beta-cam filming everything.
Ends up there was some other madman seen in the area waving a gun around and generally being crazy who looked just like me. so the police thought they'd take the heavy handed approach. Cunts.
Makes for a good story though...
