This is the United States of America. There is a thing called the Bill of Rights in our Constitution. We can walk around freely without being stopped by police and forced to show identification!
Well, at least that is the way it supposed to be.
So get this - Bob Dylan. Yes. The. Bob. Dylan. Bob Dylan is in New Jersey for a gig.
He decides to go for a walk. The poor guy is just strolling around, in a not-so-great neighborhood and someone calls the police on him because he is strolling around the neighborhood.
So, police show up. They want to know who he is and why he is there - mind you, this is not some gated community - this is in freaking Long Branch, New Jersey. The police are too young to recognize Bob Dylan,in fact, they have never even HEARD of Bob Dylan, so they want to see his identification - which Americans are NOT required to carry with them unless they are getting on a freaking airplane or are driving - and Bob doesn’t have his ID with him.
Mind you, Bob has done not one thing illegal or otherwise, but the New Jersey Cops decide that they MUST find out who he is, so they drive him to his hotel, where the hotel vouches for him.
But, and this is a big but ….the MSM doesn’t see the issue as the police should not be asking someone going for a stroll for their ID, no, the MSM is upset that the police don’t recognize Bob Dylan!!!!
Doesn’t anyone have any sense of what liberty and freedom mean anymore?
Long Branch is one, *big* gated community. A "Green" gated community.
The mayor brags about having been a Fritz Mondale volunteer -- and he's deemed a *moderate*...
Have you seen Bobby Dylan recently? If some scruffy old stranger was walking around a neighborhood looking at houses here in New Jersey you call the cops. Considering what is Long Branch, and the crime rate in areas like that...you call the cops. And the cops seem to have been polite and didn't roust him like the old days.
I've caught Dylan and Willie at the Garden State Art Center in the past couple of years. I also caught him in the Village when I was 18. Bobby is lucky he is no longer a drugged out mess, then the cops would have been less polite.

Based on my experience with daughters two most recent boyfriends, NJ is full of aliens -- the ET type.
Ah -- you've met examples of the North Jersey Springsteen Wannabe, then?
I am sure they were black RACIST cops...
Wonder when he'll get his Beer Summit with Obeyme.
