This happened 2002, I used to hang at an expats bar in Atlanta. It was wild APD split the bar in half. If you were English/Scot/Irish/etc an officer would escort them to the bathrooms on the other side of the establishment and walk them back. 90% of the expats served in the Falklands and were begging for a fight.
The Argentinians were younger/mostly kids. Never probably served so it was so insane how angry the expats were.
The chant most sung was "Go home you dirty Argey bastards go home go home" over and over again. There were others but thats the one I remember.
Match ended the police escorted the Argentinians out as this was an expats bar. Expats went full retard as they won, hammed drunk in the AM, needless to say none of them were going to work lol
Good thing it was APD and not GSP
Oh no doubt, first things I learn once you get out side the loop is stay the hell away from GSP.
I grew up in the area and the general rule is APD generally has other shit the city needs them to do so they, by comparison won’t fuck with you. Georgia State Patrol has literally nothing better to do than fuck up everyone’s chill
This exactly! Every APD interaction has been great, don't act a fool and they leave you be. Even drunk walking around E ATL/L5P/Highlands/Midtown. You could talk to them and as long as you were cool and they werent busy.
IDK if thats changed, I hope not.
In fairness, the amount they have to spend inside Atlanta, which as we all know is not a real place, would probably make anyone just be like “move along sir” as long as they weren’t actively causing a problem
